[ The brightest possible smile took over his face, scrunching his eyes up and everything because the words obviously meant Ros cared. More than he ever expected for his husband to be, especially considering how most acted in the water, often so entitled and would treat him like a prize to be won and only flashed around when it suited them most. With Ros, he might have a chance for happiness and for actual love. The kind few valued when it came to bonding and matches, almost entirely made for political reasons.

Who knew what all might happen with their union given their sections were often at odds and war with one another. The underground, sea and air never really bonded very well and there were always battles taking place.

Nodding his head as Ros talked, he tried to remember all the information he knew about the underworld and of hellhounds. Ros being the top one and leader of them all. ]

I want us to be equals. You won't be just uh serving me or anything....

[ How awkward could one person really be? ]

Oh. What. No. I won't but this might be an interesting situation to figure out. You're bound to the underworld and I'm to take over the sea one day. We'll have to see how it will work and how others will take to this news.

[ Curling his arms around Ros, he let out a breath. ] Do you feel the need to be close to me now?

[ ohshit, Ros is in so much trouble. that smile makes something in his preen, something in him want to sit up and say 'I did that, I made him smile like that' and do it again and again. he has never-- has never really wanted to make someone happy like that before. keeping them safe, yes, but happy? that was a concept that Ros didn't often deal with. especially in those kind of sense.

as Kai talks though, Ros finds himself leaning in closer, finds himself trying to seek out touch.more of it. finds himself flushing warm and pleased when Kai says they will be equals.

that was better than he could ever have hoped. ]

No, maybe I won't be, but-- I will want to. That's what I am. And I think-- I think you would be worth that. [ worth protecting, worth serving. ] We are going to have to talk to Don and Adder and-- fuck, I don't even want to think about what kind of mess this is going to be.

[ he is giving up on being subtle, please don't mind the hound hiding his face in your shoulder. whoops.]

Yeah, yeah I do. You feel... safe. Feels right.

[ Likely, they would have a bit of issues with the rivlary between the underworld and the sea but neither could do anything at the end of it all unless they wanted both Kai and Ros to die. Selkie bonds were as old as the sea itself and they would be bound as one until the last droplet dried up.

The closeness settled something churning up in his bones and he enjoyed it greatly, beginning to run his hand up and down Ros' back. The hound a solid weight he never knew he needed until right then. ]

Tell me when you start to feel the water. I'll have to ground you so you don't drown in it. You're not of the water and it can be overwhelming because of that.

[ His lips pressed against Ros' hair. ]

You'll want me even closer soon. That's the bond awakening. We might have to wait to tell everyone after that. I'm not sure how uhh possessive you might be.

[ there will be some that will try to use this against Ros, against Adder. will say that they should break it off and let the hound die, sacrifice Kai for that blow to the underworld he knows. but Ros has already made up his mind to fight for it, not really sure why. perhaps it is the bond, the need to protect what his being is now seeing as his.

Kai is his.

the hound hums at the contact, pushes closer still because it feels good, feels normal and safe and amazing and--]

Drown? [ ohshit. Ros manages to look a little sheepish now, flickering his gaze up to Kai.] Um I-- Don't know if it matters at all but I can't-- um, I can't swim?[ never really had to learn. oops?] Is there anything else that I might have to know about? I mean, aside from drowning, pretty sure it won't kill me though. And, um, possessive. Right. I am--

[ very possessive. incredibly terrible horribly possessive. there is a low whine then, Ros sighing a little as he tries to lean back to look at Kai.] I am very possessive. Like, um, that might-- it might piss you off. A lot. Unless you like that? I can try to keep it under control if you don't...

[ Bonds were still fairly new to him and he still needed to figure out plenty about them. When it all came down to it, he never believed he would ever have someone who wanted him in such a complete and consuming way. Selkie bonds were nothing to mess around with, after all, and were one of the strongest and oldest ones around.

Carding his fingers through Ros' hair, he started to bite at his lip from the confessing. Not being able to swim or handle water at all might be difficult. ]

When the bond clicks in fully, I'll likely feel shadows from you and you'll experience water from me. The water will rush through you and if I don't ground you, you'll start coughing it up and it'll uh manifest around you.

[ Not at all what dreams are made of. ]

I -- don't think I'll mind the possessive. It'll be nice ....being wanted. Needed. I'm not....I've never had that.

I don't want you to have to hold anything back from me at all.

Coughing up water? Fuck what-- what will the shadows do to you?

[ how can I help you? that is really more important to him than anything else, eve in the face of him potentially coughing up water and drowning, Ros still wants to make sure that this beautiful creature, Kai, is safe from whatever harm might befall him. still, he is content to stay tangled up with the other, small and quiet noises as the selkie cards his fingers through his hair.

this is the nicest feeling that he has had in a long while. if ever.]

Don't hold back, huh? [ a smile that is amused and sharp at that. ] Okay, but remember that you said that and-- you can always tell me to fuck off if you need space. [ he can be a bit much sometimes, possessive and overbearing, intense in both good and bad ways and, considering how he already feels about Kai after but a few moments, he is a little worried about what he might be like by the end of the day.]

And whomever was stupid enough to not want you -- well, their loss. You're amazing, I know it.

[ What will the shadows do? He really wish he knew but someone of the sea and of the ground had never bonded before. They were kind of unique and unprecedented, which while nice left a lot of troubling questions all the same. ]

I'm guessing we will see....what do shadows usually do for you?

[ The movement of his hand never ceased, Kai pressing a little closer because he wanted more of w connection and a bond. The sparks and warmth were so nice. ]

I still want you to be completely open with me and yourself. Whatever form, attitude or whatever that takes. You shouldn't be afraid of what you feel and what you experience, especially not with your husband.

[ Seemed like an easy thing for him. ]

Thank you...that's so sweet...I can tell you're amazing too.

[ it is difficult for Ros to protect Kai against things that neither of them understand at all. that neither of them know about. water seems so easy to deal with in comparison to the void that is the darkness. there is so much hidden in it, and Ros-- well Ros doesn't know. the question makes him pause though, even as he leans a little more into the touch.

what do the shadows do for him.]

The shadows are home for me. Comfort, concealment. Movement too. I don't know? Shadows are constant.

[ it is becoming more difficult to think really, especially when Kai stayed so close, kept touching him and being there and-- reassuring him. Ros isn't used to that, not like this. not with an easy acceptance. but maybe it is only because Kai doesn't know what Ros can be like, he has never seen Ros with fangs and claws and blood red eyes. he hopes that nothing changes but he isn't so niave to think it won't.

the hound curls in, finds himself dragging his nose along the line of Kai's jaw, neck, not thinking of how his lips follow after easily. ] I will be honest with you always. Promise.

[ and he means that, completely.]

I'm not-- I don't think amazing is the right word for it but I will try for you.

[ a pause while he wraps righter, the contact soothing something in him.] What do you feel? I mean, do you... is it like this?

[ Home. Concealment. Protector. The words swept through his mind and he gave a few nods of his head since it made a lot of sense. The water meant something similar to him and gave him a greater strength than anything else possibly could, except their bond. They would need time with it,of course, to understand all the aspects of it. Hopefully, they were able to remain steady.

A few gasps rang through the air from the attention, something very new and unfamiliar. Now nice and something he wanted to try and return.

Tendrils of desire curled through him from the attention. Pings of lust he knew the bond would strengthen. Selkie were alluring and all of it would heighten given the chance to. ]

Huh? [ He began, dazed eyes looking up as one hand ceased the caress he had started on Ros' thigh. ] How I feel right now? Or how things usually feel? Or.....
