[ They're doing this. It's been obvious from the second Belial has led him to the bedroom, has heard him lock the door behind him while he was distracted looking over his room, but now it's clearer than ever this is going exactly where Sandalphon wished but didn't want to admit to wanting it to go. There's no more pretending or convincing himself otherwise now. He inhales slowly, to calm himself as the implications strike him. In spite of himself, he is relieved. And while he doubts Belial's seemingly considerate question has any sort of selfless motive beyond Belial's own personal interests or is done out of any genuine consideration, it is a good one. He takes the opportunity regardless and does take a moment to consider the question, lowers his head thoughtfully and mulls it over for a moment. ]
So long as we remain within the boundaries of what you call 'vanilla', that should be enough.
[ He's hardly an expert of these matters, or on this sort of slang, but he's been on this ship and in this world for long enough at this point since his reawakening to at least pick up on the basics. Some of the crew members, including the ones Belial himself as gotten involved with, are very blunt, and even the Singularity is not exactly innocent, herself, as made obvious whenever Lyria or Vyrn are out of earshot. He understands the phrase to mean that they're going to go about... this, in the most straightforward, basic way, with no particular sort of 'play' as they call it, or additions. Beyond the very premise of this arrangement, that is. It's less clear how far that means Belial intends to go.
So, with that in mind, there is something to clarify. ]
Requests... I suppose there is one thing. I would... like to go all the way. That is... um. I would like...
[ He probably wouldn't have been able to say the words at all if it weren't for incident that broke through the most basic of his boundaries and led to this in the first place. But even so, he visibly struggles with it, until the full sentence instead becomes a hesitant, stuttering mumble, muttered with a burning hot face flushed bright red, his eyes averted as far as possible from Belial, of which only a few words become comprehensible. ]
