A very good sign. You might not feel that end of it then. Most people have some jealousy and it can heighten with a new bond. It dims as it strengthens.

[ kai shrugged a little, also taking the time to observe his new husband and finding him alluring and beautiful in every possible way. how lucky could one person be? he hit the jackpot in every way it seemed so far! dash had such an understanding aura and nothing too oppressive, which meant everything to kai. ]

Huh? [ give him a second, dash, he just spent so much time staring at you to fully listen. but the words sunk in, mostly. ] Oh, I'll be fine! Being bonded will - help settle my - selkie. You'll keep me grounded and together the water won't - harm us. Water is the bringer of life but can end it too.

I just don't know yet what I'll get from you in the bond.

Oh, [ Dash says, nodding. His head's spinning with new information, but he'll always do all he can to keep up. ] I hope that's true. It would feel strange to have that kind of feeling.

I don't think it'd feel like it belonged to me.

[ He's not sure how to explain it better than that. ] A feeling like that, it's not too good, huh? [ Everyone likes to be able to make sense of what they feel, positive or negative. Everything Dash is feeling now seems organic and easy and it doesn't make him feel off-balance.

The opposite, really. But he thinks jealousy would be a kind of poison to that. Maybe a little possessiveness or wanting of the other. But jealousy? That's not something that feels like Dash. ]

Settle your selkie? [ He tries those words on for size. ] That's good, right? We'll be safe. And we'll figure everything out, in time.

[ there were still so many things to figure out but kai believed they could work it out together. it settled some of the nerves pulsing within him, at least, and he hoped to find more information to assist with it all soon. paying attention beforehand would have really helped but nothing to do about that now!

nodding his head, he patted dash's arm. ]

You'll have new feelings soon and then we can go from there. I'll visit the kingdom once you feel like you can be apart from me.

[ just a faint blush added here as a knock sounded on the door. ] The food! Do you want to get it or me?

[hapertas]

[ Dash hums thoughtfully, taking in that information and letting it marinate in his head a little. ]

Okay. One step at a time, right? [ he asks, thinking that sounds pretty doable. He can take one step forward now and one later and one after that. ]

Let me, [ he adds, regarding the food. He'll hurry off to the door, answering in a cheerful tone. It's a little more sedate than the way he's been interacting with Kai though. Possibly he's remember what they were just talking about.

He doesn't want there to be any feeling of jealousy. Not anywhere. ]
