[ working for the pleasure houses on the luofu isn't a bad gig, to be perfectly honest. tighnari doesn't mind it. he wouldn't say it's his passion, but it pays the bills, and they allow him to care for the brothel's extensive gardens and greenhouses on his own, so he won't complain. it's not as if this will be his work for the rest of his life. but he's good at it, he enjoys it well enough, so tighnari is content.

he's also quite popular, much to his chagrin. foxians are very common on the loufu, but tighnari is unlike his fellows, a special breed, valuka shuna, more akin to foxes of the desert than foxes of the forests and plains. his ears are larger and taller, for releasing heat efficiently, and his fangs are longer as well. on his hands and feet he bears soft pink pads, and his ability to purr has made others interested in drawing the reaction from him. overall, he is not too different from other foxians, just different enough to be unusual.

at any rate, it's an exciting night at the pleasure district tonight. they say that someone esteemed is visiting, though no one is quite sure who - there are whispers that it's general jing yuan, but tighnari can't remember that man ever stopping in, so he's not convinced. nevertheless, when he's called to present himself for tonight's vip guest, he's ready.

standing in a line with his fellow courtesans of all shapes and sizes, tighnari waits, dressed in his finest clinging silks and gold jewelry, his tail and ears wrapped in chains that jingle softly when he moves. his green-brown eyes are lined in dark kohl, and he smells of flowers and warm fur, as well as something.. a little earthier as well. he's forgotten to clean the dirt out from beneath his fingernails tonight, a fact he has yet to notice. oops. at any rate, the curtains soon rustle as the vip is led inside of the foyer to make their choice.. tighnari tilts his head, his ears swiveling toward the sound of assured footsteps. who will it be, tonight? ]

[ tighnari is trembling with effort, leaning his weight back into the general's arms like a boneless cat, sinewy and nubile, and he hums softly, closing his eyes for a moment to enjoy the clinging afterglow that settles in like a warm blanket all around him. the hand at his abdomen earns a smile, though tighnari doesn't yet open his eyes, instead basks in all the lovely attentions he's being showered with. ]

Mm.. you filled me up so good. I'm sure it will take.

[ there's no harm in continuing the roleplay, is there? they both like it, so they might as well continue with it, and live in the fantasy for a few days. play at being a family, maybe. it's a little sad, for he's sure that jing yuan must be terribly lonely, but even still, sometimes sinking into the make believe can be therapeutic, even if only for a little while. breathing a soft, satisfied sigh, he hums and arches in a stretch, immediately missing the sensation of being filled when jing yuan's softening cock slides free. ]

My Jing Yuan is so eager..

[He hums in approval, continuing to pet and sooth the courtesan with a gentle hand.]

I fear I couldn't help myself. It was a month until I last indulged myself with you. [That he indulged at all.] But I feel a bit more content now.

[He could very easily lay down for a nap after that. For now though he presses a kiss to Tighnari's temple and slides himself off the edge of the tub at last. He takes a towel and wraps it around his waist and another he puts around his partner's shoulders, drying the ends of his hair for him.]

If you're hungry I can have something delivered for us... And you can get settled in my room until then. Set up any of your tricks and toys and make yourself comfortable.

[ tighnari chuckles warmly, nudging his nose alongside jing yuan's jawline. ]

It was a long month, hmm?

[ and then jing yuan is pulling away, and tighnari misses his warmth immediately, but alas, they can't stay in this bath all day, and he's already starting to feel like a prune. so tighnari gives himself a nice rinse down pretty quickly then steps from the water, shaking droplets off of his tail as he reaches for a towel to begin drying off. when the geneal approaches and throws a towel over him, tighnari smiles. ]

And I can do that, yes. Will you be going back to work, or are you all mine for the weekend, now?

[He chuckles in return seeking out a robe to slide on. He has one in the bathroom laying somewhere.]

It was quite the crisis... Far too much to deal with but it is all wrapped up at this point, thankfully.

[He brushes his bangs out of his eyes, for all the good it does, and shakes his head at the question.]

I'm all yours. I may have to slip away on occasion if a message comes my way but I suspect everyone will leave me be. The break was highly encouraged and recommended to be longer but... A weekend is more than enough. [He reaches out to stroke one of Tighnari's ears.] Any preference for a meal? Suggest a bunch of things if you'd like... The less we have to leave the bed the better.

[He wants to sleep and make love to his lovely partner and not think about anything else. Like the first time... forgetting is the ideal. Especially after everything that has happened.]

Well.. I'm very glad that you called on me, regardless.

[ and that's not a pretty, flowery lie said to tempt and tease, either. tighnari very much enjoyed their time together, he found jing yuan to be warm and charming and kind, and an incredibly good lover.. how lucky he was that he was suggested to begin with. luckier still that jing yuan has enjoyed him this much. even if only once a month, this is a nice arrangement.

tighnari taps his chin thoughtfully. ]

Well.. if you can acquire the ingredients, I can make you some dishes similar to my homeland's.

[ they're specialty ingredients, naturally, but the luofu has many many trade partners, and they shouldn't be too difficult to get ahold of. tighnari wraps the towel around his tail to begin wicking the water away. ]

But.. if you'd rather have me in the bed as you say, we can eat anything. I enjoy anything with mushrooms.

[He'd much rather order than spend time cooking, to be perfectly honest. A short weekend isn't very much time at all and he'd rather spend as much of it as possible between the bed and bath.]

You can cook for me another time... [He intends for longer stays at some point... Perhaps he can manage something closer to a week to happen at some point? Of course, he's not sure how pleased the pleasure house will be if he takes their star for lengthy periods of time but...] It would take quite the grocery run to even make something from the Luofu.

[He's a busy man. Please don't judge him by the near empty pantry and fridge.]

I shall keep you preferences in mind...

[Mushrooms... Some sort of stir fry might be easiest and easy to reheat if needed.]

I fear I intend to keep us in bed most of the weekend. But you aren't shackled, of course... [He laughs at that.] If you're feeling the need to cook I will try not to hinder you too much.

[ he appreciates jing yuan's honesty, and it earns a soft bark of a laugh. ]

Well, I suppose that's not too surprising.

[ he is a courtesan after all, and their chemistry is quite spectacular. tighnari is quickly learning how to unravel the arbiter-general, and jing yuan is learning the same of him; he couldn't say he's growing bored. not when everything is so fresh and novel, not when they're so easily and effortlessly attracted to one another. ]

The bed it is, then. You won't hear any complaints from me.

[ tighnari likes cooking well enough, sure, and it would be nice for him to someday introduce the general to some sumeran fare, but it doesn't need to be this day. he's more than happy to lounge in bed with his lover for the entire weekend. so he ruffles up his damp tail, shaking it back into proper formation before he's hanging up the towel and sauntering right past jing yuan to stride naked out of the bathroom. ]

[He smiles as he scrolls on his phone to put an order in for some food which should be here shortly. He slides his robes on and fluffs out his hair, following after the naked man strolling into his room.

His room is simple but has a large bed with very soft sheets and blankets and many fluffy pillows. Despite it's size it seems like only the one side is ever used.

Jing Yuan reaches out to stroke the soft, still slightly damp tail, and smiles more to himself than his partner. It's going to be a nice weekend. It's the first one he's looking forward to in quite some time.]

Make yourself comfortable and settle in with your tools of the trade. I'll make us some tea.

[He did make Tighnari come hard and twice at that. Best to make sure he's hydrated before they do anything else. And if not for his partner than for himself. He's not equipped or trained for marathon sex.]

[ it is going to be a nice weekend. lazing about in a large bed, eating delicious food, and spending time with a wonderful lover.. this is work, tighnari has to keep reminding himself, but honestly it feels like a vacation. his tail flicks beneath king yuan's touch, and tighnari chuckles warmly. ]

I'll do just that, then.

[ aside from the box of cuttings he'd brought, tighnari also brought a large canvas traveling bag full of clothing and toiletries, as well as the tools of the trade, as it were. after dressing in a light, gauzy pale green robe, tighnari soon begins to unpack, smoothing out his clothing so it doesn't get wrinkled and setting it aside, before he helps himself to a bedside drawer to fill with toys, while jing yuan is busy preparing tea.

after that, he gets himself comfortable in bed with a long metal comb, which he soon uses to begin combing out his tail, helping it to dry. ]

[It only takes a bit to get the tea prepared. It's a sweet blend that he favors whenever he's out of puffergoat milk. Just as he's finished preparing it there's a notice that their food arrived and arrived quite quickly at that.

The mechanical crane waits outside his door with a bag full of their delicious meal. He takes the bag and pats the bird and then serves it all up in the dishes he has. He sets the tea and their meal on a tray and brings it into the bedroom, his heart doing a small flutter at the sight of someone waiting for him on his bed. It's a small thing, perhaps even meaningless considering he's paying for this but... It makes him quite happy.]

I got you a mushroom stir-fry... Along with some rice, beef and veggies and a few sweet treats.

[He sets the tray down and sits himself on the bed across from Tighnari, nudging his plates towards him.]

Please enjoy~

[ tighnari is nearly done combing out his tail by the time the general arrives again, and he glances upward with a warm smile to greet him, followed almost immediately by a curious look as he sniffs the air. oh.. that smells quite good. tighnari's ears perk up, his tail thumping happily against his lap. ]

That all smells incredible.

[ soon enough the tray is set down, and tighnari finishes the last few strokes of his tail before setting the comb aside and wiggling nearer to jing yuan on the bed, drawing his legs up beneath him. the dishes look as wonderful as they smell, and tighnari hums as he breathes it all in, then lifts his chopsticks to pluck a nice, plump mushroom from the stir-fry, which he summarily pops into his mouth. ]

Mm. Mmm.

[Jing Yuan eats his own meal, having gotten himself various dumplings and xiaolongbao. He chews slowly, a small smile on his face as he watched Tighnari enjoy his food. It's cute, really... Tighnari is incredibly adorable.]

You eat well at the pleasure house, yes? Or shall I start sending you care packages?

[Will he feed this courtesan better than he feeds himself? Yes, absolutely.]

Though I am not certain that's allowed... I suspect if you were allowed to take gifts you'd be flooded with trinkets and treasures.

[Tighnari is popular. Popular enough that the other Generals come to see him. It's part of the reason why he's uncertain if he'll just be allowed to monopolize his time the way he has. General or not... there are surely limits.]

It's allowed. Clients give me gifts, sometimes. You overestimate me, though.

[ he says around a laugh, as he scoops more of the stir-fry into his mouth and chews with an appreciative hum. ]

I'm not flooded, no, but I've had a few generous clients. I think you're just underestimating your own generosity..

[ jing yuan is a giving man, that's clear enough in the way that he makes love, in the way that he sees to it that tighnari is well taken care of both in and out of bed. he has a big heart that loves to spoil the people around him, which can be.. dangerous, if taken too far, if too much is given and nothing is left for the giver. thankfully, tighnari plans to take good care of his general in return. ]

[He taps his chopsticks to his lips, humming thoughtfully as he chews.]

I don't think I've been all that generous towards you... [He can be quite giving. Yanqing has a very expensive sword collection that can attest to this.] But if it is allowed I shall send things now and then.

[He needs to be careful as this is not a typical relationship. This is Tighnari's job and he is a customer but still... It's the only intimate relationship he has. He can go above and beyond for good service. Or that is how he reasons it.]

So long as that's aright with you, of course. I would not wish to overstep.

[ to that answer, tighnari simply lifts a brow. maybe he has not showered tighnari in gifts just yet, no, but he knows a generous man when he sees one, and jing yuan has been generous in many ways. ]

It's perfectly all right with me, so long as you don't mind that I return the favor every once in awhile.

[ a smile blooms across his face, before he dips to continue eating. tighnari isn't the type to gift randomly and thoughtlessly, but he knows a few things that jing yuan is interested in now, and aside from the cuttings he has already brought with him today, there are plenty more plants where those came from. he might have to be a little careful here, so as not to foster a relationship that neither of them could want, but he's friends with a few of his clients. it's never been a problem before.

famous last words, maybe. ]

I'll have to show you through all the cuttings I brought you, though they're all labeled, and I wrote up a cumulative care sheet.

Edited 2024-02-26 03:56 (UTC)

[Golden eyes widen in slight surprise.]

Return the favor...? [He hadn't considered but... There are clippings waiting for him. So perhaps their gift giving has already begun. That's a rather pleasant thought. The surprise turns to a genuine smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling in delight.] I would like that very much if it's not too much trouble. And please don't feel the need at any point.

[And he absolutely brightens in regards to the information about the current cuttings waiting for him. A care sheet as well?]

That was very thoughtful... Perhaps we will spend time elsewhere. I want to get those cuttings settled as soon as possible so they have a good chance to grow and thrive. And since I have your expertise here with me it would be silly to waste the opportunity.

It was nothing.. and you did request them of me, after all.

[ tighnari doesn't really consider them gifts, per se, when jing yuan had asked for them in the first place, but he did perhaps bring many more than the general might have been expecting. ten jars wait with cuttings for him to enjoy. ]

They'll do well in water for the time being. It's all on the care sheet, but you don't need to worry about soil for them just yet until they begin to grow roots. After that, I'm happy to show you how to pot them.

[ many cuttings to indeed propogate just fine in soil as well, but growing them in water allows you to better be able to keep an eye on the growing root system without doing damage to them. besides, it's also quite fun to watch them grow! ]

It shouldn't take long before you start seeing roots.

[He nods, deeply enthused by all of this. It's good to know they don't have to be looked after right away. They can continue their weekend and then he'll look into taking care of all these new plants. Maybe there are even a few he can take to his office... But he'll have to see what they all are first.]

Very good then... You have my gratitude for the offerings. I deeply enjoy gardening... And my garden is something I'm quite proud of. [After so much loss there is something therapeutic in breathing life into something. Just plants, yes... But living things all the same that need a helping hand to survive in this world.] I look forward to the new projects you've gifted me.

[Taking one last bite he sets the half eaten plate down and stretches his arms over head, popping the usual spots in his spine, before flopping down onto the bed. A bath, a meal, an incredibly good orgasm and massage. The natural next step is a nap.

He's much more relaxed since their first time together. The General facade that he upheld through most of their meeting was done away with at the door. There's little sense in keeping it up at this point. Which means the sleepy and much more friendly Jing Yuan is on full display, truly acting as himself from the very start.]

[ tighnari likes him - this jing yuan. the general himself hadn't been a terrible man, but this man is still better, warm and gentle, generous and loving, languidly lounging in his large, comfortable bed, like a big cat. tighnari can't help but smile, seeing him get comfortable.

but he'll finish his meal, first. after all, he'll need the calories quite desperately in the coming days, and besides, the food is delicious, the best the luofu has to offer, so he'll take his time to enjoy every bite. it doesn't take long though before he's scooping the last of the stir fry into his mouth, swallowing it down and licking his lips with a satisfied hum. very good, indeed. he stacks his plate onto jing yuan's on the tray, then carefully sets the entire tray aside on the bedside table, before he's taking a long drink of water, then finally settling down. ]

You look comfortable.

[ he says softly, chuckling as he draws in near, cuddling up close to jing yuan and pressing warm, easy kisses to the corner of his mouth. tighnari's tail curls and sways, thumping contentedly against the mattress as he settles in, touching their brows together. ]

I am...

[Jing Yuan makes no effort to move. He simply lays on his bed fading in and out of consciousness living up to his Dozing General title despite himself. But once Tighnari snuggles up beside him he wraps an arm around the Foxian.]

This might surprise you... But I enjoy resting and sleeping quite a bit. [He smiles as he says it, like it's not the most well known fact within the Luofu.] I'd like to blame it due to my age but should you find someone who knew me in my youth they'd say I'd always been like this.

[He reaches a hand up to scratch at those lovely ears.]

But you are probably not interested in staying in bed with an old man... And I am curious about the things you brought. A weekend isn't very long so we should make the most of it.

[ the scratch to his ears earns a lovely little purr, and tighnari closes his eyes for a moment, smiling. ]

I'm interested in being with you, in whatever capacity that might be. Eating together, sex, gardening, sleeping..

[ he's a courtesan, after all, it's his time that jing yuan is paying for, not necessarily just his body. most clients are after his tail, sure, but there are a few who pay only for his company alone, and if jing yuan would like to spend some time sleeping together, then tighnari is happy to do so. still, he understands, too, if the general would rather not 'waste' the time. ]

But I'm happy to show you what I've brought whenever you like. [ a beat. ] Do you mean the plants, or the toys?

[He hums at this response, stretching a little and then returning to a comfortable position, snuggling against Tighnari.]

Then just a few moments of sleep wouldn't hurt. [He breaths out slowly feeling the jaws of sleep take him as it often does. A relentless beast, the call for sleep.] But only for a few moments... I want to see everything you've brought.

I'm so curious about all the little toys... I'm mostly unfamiliar with the bits and bobs of the profession. [He runs his fingers lazily along Tighnari's side and then, as they often do, find the base of his tail. Naturally he pets there... The other always seems to enjoy it.] But I'm an excellent learner and student~

Edited 2024-02-28 08:57 (UTC)

[ gods, he's so damned cute.. he's handsome and sexy, yes, but he's also cute, snuggling up to tighnari like the big lazy lion he is, bringing an easy smile to his face. resting his chin atop the crown of jing yuan's head, tighnari hums softly, one arm slipping around his lover's abdomen. ]

Well.. you'll see them soon enough. I brought a nice variety.

[ he says, his fingers trailing down jing yuan's spine, settling at the small of his back where he draws idle patterns. ]

An hour nap, then. Get some rest.

[He hums, pleased at an entire hour being set aside for napping. He was expecting ten minutes, if that, but this is much more agreeable.]

If you insist~

[He purrs out the words already heavy with sleep and he's out shortly after. The massage helped ease a lot of aches and an orgasm always helps too. The gentle hand along his spine keeping him close and held. It's an easy rest to fall into.

The sleep is deep for happening so suddenly, his brows occasionally furrowed and fingers twitching. Old memories and battles are impossible to escape from even in the throes of sleep but nothing so terrible that it causes him to wake or give anything more than a twitch. In the end he just snuggles further up against Tighnari, fingers curling in the robe he has on to keep him close.]

[ tighnari does what he can to resist the call of sleep.. at least at first. he wants to be awake for the general whenever he stirs, and also to see to it that he doesn't sleep too long - they still have quite a bit of playtime ahead of them - but it's difficult to keep his eyes open. the bed is exceedingly comfortable, and so very warm with jing yuan pulled in close. it's nice to be intimately near to someone without it having to be overtly sexual.. sometimes the cuddling is the best part of the job.

but it also makes him very sleepy, especially considering the orgasms jing yuan wrestled out of him, and the belly full of warm, delicious food. soon enough his eyelids begin to feel very heavy.

ah, well. a nap won't hurt. tighnari lifts his phone to set an alarm for an hour and a half, then sets it aside and hunkers down close to jing yuan, his tail dropping to curl over the general's hip as tighnari closes his eyes and makes himself comfortable. within a few short minutes he's dozing at last. ]
