( ah. )

Ah.

( ah....... okay, noted. )

I suppose I should've guessed this, anyway.
You are a glutton for punishment, so.

[ to give kaiser even a crumb of credit, that is NOT true for everybody. like if ness tried to edge him, ness would be put in a chastity cage for the rest of his life, so. ]

you leave me with literally no recourse to respond to that in a way that improves my position
well
as i said, punishment doesnt work on cats?

[ he's not meowing this time. he has no will to meow. ]

( well, duh. but strikers all over the world love to get abused by sae itoshi???? )

I think it'll work on this kitty. Eventually.
I haven't tamed a wildcat before, so it's all trial and error?
Meow.

( it's fine, sae will do it for him. :) )

damn. i am weak for you meowing, unfortunately
the idea of taming a wildcat seems contradictory but i think you can aim for making the wildcat favorable to your lead

this kitty also responds well to treats? just as a reminder??

Well, "wildcat" in a very general sense of the word, I guess.
This kitty's been belly-up for me enough times for me to not be all that concerned about the sharp teeth.

Don't worry, I remember.
Both punishment and reward always have to be earned, so... the ball's in your court, kitty. Meow.

it all goes back to you busting my fucking balls, i see how it is.

dwbi, youll see next friday that im more than up for the task, meow
although maybe i should change your thing from bunny to something else, doesnt seem very situationally fitting

Hmmm... I do like the irony of it, I guess.
You know, a seemingly harmless animal taking down a much bigger, more dangerous one?

( except if sae's a rabbit he's one of these flesh-eating ones. )

ok bunbun
häschen

[ it all goes back to häschen... and kaiser not treating women right. ]

can we agree this is less than being taken down, though
more like being selectively whipped?

( OOUUUGH. so true!! )

... hmmm... nope.
I like 'taken down' better.

[ sae doesn't even protest against the nicknames anymore... damn. ]

i just cannot agree that is what this is though.
is 'taken down' YOUR aspirational honesty?

( yeah. he just kinda accepts them as he goes. can't let kaiser have the satisfaction of riling him up with any of this? )

Hmmm.
How about "tamed", then?

[ that phrasing... he actually quite likes it... normally kaiser would play this off but for some reason his impulse control decreases severely in sae's presence and he's a bit more. ugh. GENIUNE. ]

yeah that one
that ones good lets go with that
purr

Of course.
You want to be tamed by me, anyway, don't you, kitty?
You'll melt right into my hands the moment I'm there.

( kaiser's such a good boy for him 🥺 but it also makes him want to torment him more??? ugh. )

i want you to attempt to tame me, sweet bun
BIG difference in those two statements, no?

[ not denying the melting part. what is so wrong with enjoying it? HUH? ]

( he could say kaiser's already tamed because when has he ever denied sae in any way that matters? but... he shan't... for the sake of their sexy rp. yeah. )

I do enjoy a challenge, if you want to provide one.
But if you want to roll over for me, that's fine, too, kitty.

[ ok look. true. but only when i use this icon next is the taming complete :/ ok ]

think ill keep you guessing, then
thats the charm of a cat in the first place, isnt it?
maybe ill convert you to a cat person eventually

( that's literally the face he'd make if sae scratched his chin don't even play )

I don't know if the unpredictability could ever beat the absolute loyalty of canines, but...
Well, feel free to keep trying for as long as you'd like.

( since they're gonna be married and all — )
