[ He follows Bull with his eyes as he sits down. Then he follows for real, climbing to straddle the Qunari's lap. ]
I have a girlfriend. She's okay with all this. [ He says the second part quickly. Bull has the right to know, if he has an issue with it despite the permission. ] And she's great. I have a lot of...issues because of my past and she's handled it all amazingly. But she doesn't really....understand?
[ It feels weird, trying to work his way through this sort of thing with the person he's hooking up with, but...They did say full disclosure. ]
Understand that sometimes I just need something...familiar. When it's been a bad day and I can't...ignore some of the stuff I was used to. [ How much of Ren's natural submission was himself and how much was Strade, he wasn't sure. ]
Look, some days are hard and I want to be roughed up and called names and all that... [ He gets it out fast, definitely not turning a fun shade of pink. ] And it's probably important to make it clear I don't actually know how far I want to go versus how far I can. [ One gained a high pain tolerance and a low threshold for dignity with Strade. ] But I want to do it.
[ And Iron Bull gave off the air of someone who'd rather know that his partner isn't familiar with his own limits than be bluffed. ]
If that's too screwed up, ah... Feel free to ask me to leave, I get it.
