[ He's got really bad timing, it may as well be one of his superpowers. ]

That's good to hear! He's had quite a time of being Sanguis -- it's not quite like him, so I think he feels it more intensely, if you ask me.

Well, normally Aymeric is a foot taller than me. Now he's almost two. I suppose if I got bigger, that might solve some things... Otherwise it's going to require a lot of maneuvering to keep up with him. Maneuvering which I believe might be easier under Iris, since they have certain changes that help with that kind of thing.

[ He really is trying to avoid saying any specifics, especially because if Aymeric reads this, he'll expire. ]

He mentioned that, which intrigued me. I'm starting to believe Moonblessings have very little to do with someone's personality upon arrival.

[It was anecdotal, but he'd like to tell that 'Researcher' he'd once spoken to about this later on.]

... Certain things? I'll be honest, I've seen and heard very little about Iris so I genuinely don't know what you could be referring to.

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... [

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.]

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.

[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 soft, gentle, withdrawn, to be something so violence prone as Sanguis.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.

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.

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.

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. ]

[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.

[ Oops, yeah, most people do not expect the mooncat agenda...... ]

I understand! Sanguis can bring that out in people.

But you're welcome! And please feel free to contact Aymeric or myself in any capacity. He really is a great man, I'm sure he'd love to have more friends.
