It's true, they seem to go in one of two directions. Either they're someone's direct opposite, or they suit their personality perfectly. The middling ground doesn't seem common at all.

I see. I'll just be out with it then. Iris are self-lubricating, and they have a heightened tolerance for pain. Does that make sense?

[ He really hopes this guy knows what that means... [

hoh, so then it's a bit of a gamble, hm? I'm new here, but if I find out any ways for you to stack the deck in your favor, I'll be sure to pass them on~

what a coincidence, I'm apparently Cordis too! I don't know too much about these things — any particular reason you want to switch?

We all suffer somehow, in fairness. It's a boon and definitely helps us achieve our actual goal of helping the Prismals (though as to the success rate on that, lately...Hm!), but I'd rather just go about making friends normally than worrying about orifices leaking.

Trust me. No matter how easy it makes things, nothing is worth trying to do your shopping during Iris and completely ruining your clothing, or having to do the hugest load of washing from all of the blankets you've ruined.

Or is there some other positive that your friends have that perhaps I haven't had the chance to experience? Lucky them, in that case.

You think Aymeric is the complete opposite of Sanguis? I don't know him well, but I'd asked if it surprised him, being Sanguis, and he hadn't made any mention of that.

[That line of thinking was very abruptly cut off by Qhi'sae's next sentence, though. Self-lubricating! Wow!! Lio didn't necessarily regret asking but boy is his face red at the idea of it.]

Oh.

Yes when you put it that way, it makes perfect sense.

You're that dedicated to bottoming? If I had a partner that size, I could never.

[Not that he ever bottomed regardless.]

I could definitely be in a worse situation. But, it's not all too bad at least. Well, not as bad as it could be.

[ Is it though....? ]

That's the right attitude to have! As long as you are not alone, I'm sure you can manage it.

Perhaps not directly, but he certainly tries not to be. Aymeric is a fierce warrior, but he is also a diplomat. He holds back quite a lot around most people, but Sanguis brings that all out.

[ Ah yes, it sure is a thing. ]

See, you get it.

But I suppose we could switch if we ever really needed to. I just don't want him to feel like his changes are a problem.

I see. So you feel the boons aren't worth the costs? It seems to me like women have a similar problem that they manage to deal with, once a moon. Has no one come up with a solution for Iris Moonblessed?

[ You can't just ask that, Qih'sae. ]

I hadn't considered it, but perhaps women are just better equipped for it...? The Iris I know is a woman and she hadn't complained about anything like that.

Thank you! And yes, some think praying to the moon gods might help? It's hard to say.

Cordis is good at attracting others, and we have near-limitless energy during our moon phase. But sometimes even if the mind is willing, the body can't really keep up... Iris has the opposite problem, their bodies are more willing, but their minds might not. So if one is inclined to taking advantage of it, Iris seems like it would be a better bet, under some circumstances.

I think either option works, really. It's more what you do with your changes.

I hope it's helpful, yes!

... Genuinely not sure how changing moon alignment would work, though. But then, there's like, these three divinities that are somehow tied into it.

That's still awkward to think about from the perspective of someone whose existence is normally tangential to that of the gods.

So far that's been suggested to me. Or maybe it's random. But I still don't know these gods' names, so who can say...

[ He also hasn't actually gone looking for information himself, so...... ]

I've had more than a few dealings with gods in my world. They aren't as all-powerful as one might think, at least in my experience.

[ He's never met a god he couldn't kill. ]

Yeah ... who knows with these ones. And I can't say I've had great experience with the supposedly omnipotent, back where I'm from.

Maybe. But hey, it's not so bad just getting it out in one shot, you know? It can be a fun week, as long as you stay hydrated.

Neither have I, truthfully.

I can't disagree with that. That's more along the lines with what I was thinking, before everyone insisted that being Iris is some terrible hardship. It sounded fun to me! All you need is a few good partners to take care of you, right?

[A fierce warrior? That tidbit of information did surprise him. Though being a diplomat did not. Qih'sae was right. Aymeric seemed far too... soft, gentle, withdrawn, to be something so violence prone as Sanguis.

What did that say about Lio, then? He certainly didn't feel it was 'opposite' to his personality, particuarly given its association with fire. He felt a little sick, though, to think he'd be pegged as someone prone to violence...

Of course that would be anyone's first impression of him. Ugh...]

No, I understand. From what you described, he seems the type who might be senstive to causing issues, even if they're beyond his control.

Not that I imagine my size will ever be an issue, Sanguis changes or not, but I wouldn't want to hurt my partner. And yet I can't imagine wanting to switch, either.

Barring your sudden and miraculous change to Iris, you should probably just communicate your concerns with him.

[ He didn't become Lord Commander through words alone, that's for sure. Qih'sae counts himself lucky to have never found himself on the receiving end of Aymeric's blade. ]

Yes, exactly. He's a man of peace, he likes to solve problems with his words. But it doesn't help that he comes from a culture that values emotional repression. I think he's probably like... a teapot? Simmering isn't really a problem, but Sanguis can cause his emotions to boil over.

[ It's something Qih'sae enjoys about Sanguis, but Aymeric doesn't exactly love it... ]

That's true. Neither of us would want the other to be hurt. We'll likely need to make some adjustments, but that's alright. I doubt that I'll just change moonblessings from simply wishing for it.

... What kind of experience, if I might ask???

More and more he's starting to sound a lot like my opposite. I'm a man of action. Granted in my situation, words would no longer do any good. I think most people in some sort of leadership position, though, like to keep their emotions in check. Myself included.

[Hah, though speaking of opposites, Qih'sae was starting to sound more and more like the type of person that'd be good for Aymeric.]

Never say never. But he's lucky to have a boyfriend looking out for his needs like that.

It's a bit complex to explain in its entirety, but the gods that I've known in my world are called Primals.

They are beings created by gathering a large amount of aether and combining it with an image as well as a particularly strong desire. So perhaps you want to save your home from being destroyed, or perhaps you want an old friend back... with such desires, a primal is born.

It was largely my job to destroy them, in my world.

Precisely. You can't be a leader if you don't hold yourself in check. And he's taken plenty of action when matters of war and peace are concerned. It sounds like the two of you would get along well.

[ Like that time when he found out Ishgard's whole Thing and went "we are going to tell everyone even if they burn me for this knowledge".... ]

We'll see. And thank you. That's very kind of you to say. I hope I can be what he needs.

I should keep in contact with him, in that case. I didn't think to ask for his number, though.

I know it's taboo to ask for a man's phone number if he's taken, but you wouldn't happen to be willing to provide it, would you? If it makes you feel better, I also have a boyfriend.

It would definitely be more of an issue if I had a partner that was not a barely contained monster.

Not at all! I can send you his communicator's address.

[ idk if it's a number or an email or an id, but qih'sae has at least figured out how share contacts! He includes it with this message. ]

And it's really no trouble. Aymeric and I make sure to keep an open relationship! We Keepers of the Moon are hardly ones to practice monogamy. We believe that love is a blessing from Menphina, and such blessings are to be shared.

That said, I'm glad to hear that you have a boyfriend as well! Should you ever wish to join us or you wish to connect further with Aymeric, please feel free to let us know.

[ My dude just offered up a foursome or a threesome, just like that. ]

Ah, is he the one who's a ghost in his body? The one you made that post for?

[ Sure, zombies are technically bad but it's like totally different if you love them...... ]

[Whoa, whoa, Lio didn't expect that offer. He almost started choking on his end, face gone beet red.]

I'm... a little selfish with my partner right now.

[Their relationship was a little too new for him to consider sharing, even in foursome situation. Wow, he didn't expect to have to think about something like that today.]

But I'll... keep that in mind.

Thanks.

No no! Wen Ning is like... a little brother? A friend? I can't even imagine that!

My husband has a lot of stamina and is always willing to mess around. But, he has a very pure righteous image, people see him and think, oh he must be a virgin, but, underneath that lie, he is a barely restrained monster!
