"Maybe, but if that's the case, then neither was he." Noctis shrugs, not sure how else to address that question. "He was so...different. Playful, even kind of silly. And...he never really took charge. He asked me what I wanted to do, and I didn't know, so he suggested...uh, y'know, more rope stuff. The - the fun kind." His face flushes slightly.
"But the rope had this other enchantment, where if I wasn't totally honest answering a question, it would get more, uh...restrictive. All he asked me was if I was interested. He did that the whole time, kept...putting the decisions in my hands. Like he was going out of his way not to--well, be himself about it." Noctis thinks back to the way Ardyn had seemed almost awkward when he asked. He has no idea what to make of it.
"I probably should've just said yes, because I was. It might be selfish and crazy, but it felt...really good to just do what I wanted without constantly worrying about the consequences for the whole damn world for once. And...I did want to do it. It was pretty hot." He sighs. "Anyway, instead of just answering the question I stalled for time so I could escape with my dagger and...I dunno, get chased again maybe, and the rope took that as 'dishonesty' and made itself pretty inescapable." He's not sure how much detail exactly Nyx wants, here. "In a...pleasurable but precarious way."
He takes another sip of tea. "That's when he told me if I wanted to stop, he'd let me go right then. Phrased it that way so it wouldn't be a question, I think. But I didn't want to stop. He asked permission to use my dagger to, uh, undress me, and since little stuff like that fixes itself, I went for it. And he said he wouldn't use it on me unless I wanted him to, and I said no, and he stuck to that. He even - the position wasn't great for my back, and he noticed and adjusted it to be easier. It's kind of insane, how...considerate he was."
Everything thus far has been embarrassing enough to talk about, but the rest is only more so. But he has to explain everything to Nyx, so he keeps going. "Mostly after that it was just...y'know, touching and teasing and getting me all riled up. Himself, too." He doesn't think he needs to mention that he found out about a few things he apparently really likes in bed.
"When it was close to the end, he asked me how I wanted to end it, but uh...I couldn't really think of anything," or at all, really, "so I left it to him, and he actually made it...pretty nice."
"Then, uh...he finished first, and apparently letting go like that makes it a lot easier for the Scourge to take him over. But he fought it so he could help me finish, too, and he...he was kissing me when it started to win, and he practically threw himself away from me and used some kind of power to force himself unconscious. So he wouldn't hurt me. His DTF and Carbuncle got me out of there, and then I just...put as much distance between us as I could before I passed out, too."
