She is supposed to be too ignorant of sexual matters to make a man into a cuckold. [He laughs.] As if one grows up in ignorance with livestock all around.

[thirtybits]

I'm so glad that's what you think of me.

[depicted]

Are you saying that you would cuckold me? I'm wounded.

[thirtybits]

If that's the case - I think I already did, even if accidentally.

[depicted]

[Dorian pauses a moment. Then he brings Judas's hand to his mouth for a kiss.] Fortunately, we are not wed, so you cannot be an adulterer. No need to bring Leviticus into it.

[thirtybits]

[He smiles slightly and squeezes Dorian's hand in return.] Good thing too, I stand by that I would make a terrible spouse of any kind.

[depicted]

Aren't you under the impression that you make a terrible everything?

[thirtybits]

[Judas presses his lips together, but just can't shake the laugh.] Just about. Even a bad traitor. But really, it's for that reason I didn't marry, while most other things apparently I at least try.

[depicted]

Yours wasn't precisely a line of work that led itself to marriage. And mine was not a lifestyle for it.

[thirtybits]

No kidding. Or is that really what you use so many identities for?

[depicted]

[Dorian laughs.] You've found me out. How shall I compel you to keep the secret?

[thirtybits]

I'm so hurt you've lied to me that there's not a thing you can do. I'll have to go straight to the police.

[depicted]

If you'd prefer to arrest me yourself— [he holds up his wrists and wriggles his fingers. IF THAT'S YOUR KINK, ISCARIOT]

[thirtybits]

...No, I think I'm good. Once is more than enough.

[depicted]

[Dorian lifts his eyebrows—'ok sure if you say so' and lowers his hands.] As you will. But don't hesitate to tell me if you change your mind. Not really my thing, I confess, but what are friends for?

[thirtybits]

Don't say it like you don't believe me! I'm not into it either!

[depicted]

[It's all Dorian can do to keep from laughing at the very thought.] Yes, you do give off the impression of being more than a little vanilla-flavoured, despite your peculiar little habits.

[thirtybits]

Despite what 'peculiar little habits', exactly?

[depicted]

[Dorian looks pointedly at Judas's throat, and then at Judas.]

[thirtybits]

...Oh.

[Judas clears his throat and without really noticing, rubs it.]

I, ah, can't deny liking it, but it was your idea.

[depicted]

[A slight pause. Is Judas suggesting that he—no. Definitely not.

Unless he is.]

We already know that I am a decadent, licentious creature. I did not realize your pleasure in the strangling was of an erotic nature.

[thirtybits]

I-- [How does he put it? How does he say yes to that.

Nope]

It hasn't been! But - maybe in that situation!

[depicted]

[This pause is less slight. Dorian's lips part, and his eyes flicker over Judas's face, as if trying to discern if he is in earnest, as if trying to work out if he really said that. But he did.]

Oh.

[He presses his lips together.]

As you like it. It's a preference you know I'm happy to indulge you with, should you become so comfortable as to permit it. [The slight betrayal of a smile.] In that situation, I mean.

[thirtybits]

[Covering the exposed half of his face with one hand, Judas tilts his chin down. The most embarrassing thing he's experienced in a while - and that's saying something. He swallows hard and gives a small nod.]

Yeah.

I thought you'd already realised that.

[depicted]

[Well, that's sweet. Dorian now can't fight his smile.] I may have joked about your enjoyment of the act. I did not realize my comments hit the mark.
