[ That's not a disinterested brow that lifts ... but, anyway. ]
I remember clearer snatches here and there when I might have slain her, when she failed to keep me dosed. [ Cheek on Adar's shoulder again, he curls a hand in the front of his soft tunic. ] Mercifully, never when she used me.
[He wraps Aemond back up in his arms, his hands stroking through his hair and down his back again and again in a gentle, soothing motion.] It is easy to freeze or be too befuddled to do what you later think you should have, in the moment. That still does not make it your fault.
Aemond, running is the only thing you can do. You cannot fight a dragon with fists and you cannot take down a maiar with a single sword. Or even two. Not really. Not forever.
I regret nothing I have promised you, what I regret and am grateful for all at once is how fundamentally you do not understand this problem.
He could pull you apart piece by piece without so much as breaking a sweat. Respectfully. [He said, getting both annoyed and upset at the idea again.] Your dragon is but a babe compared to the ones he kept in Angband.
Because you still have not seen me truly angry. [He tuts sliding his hands down his back again but this time over his arse and pulling him closer.] I am not a kind creature when pressed.
I think you will find I am letting you manhandle me every time, the belief in your own strength is quite a fiction of your own making. Perhaps that can be the topic of your book.
Mmn. [He looks like he is very thoughtfully considering that and then in a flash he has Aemond off the bed by his throat and then slammed back down into the mattress on his back, Adar leaning over him. And though the grip is far from choking, it is firm.]
[ Why are elves so fast? What is the need? Beyond making Aemond horny, that is, squirming beneath him. He clears his breathless throat as best he can, giving a pinned shrug. ]

[ He closes his eyes, hidden and safe in Adar's arms. ]
You must kill her if she finds her way here.

[ And also, ]
I will also keep Sauron far from you, rest assured.

You are mine to protect, Adar, however much you may regret agreeing to that in vows. Twice.

[ Sighing, he touches Adar's face and traces a scar with a thumb. ]
But if there is another way to make you angry, I should like to know it.
[ Oho. ]

[Nonetheless, he wasn't here now.]
Why do you wish to anger me?

[ He shakes out his hair, tossing it free over his shoulders as he squirrels in closer with Adar's tugging. ]
What a big, scary elf I have married! So strong, so brave ... he steals books with nary a care for their reader!

That did offend you more than me manhandling you ever has.

[ What a brat. ]

You are right, I am frightfully frail.

... See? Letting you.
no subject
If you are letting me then you can get me off you. [He says, leaning just a little more on the hand that is still on his throat.]

What if I don't want to, Daddy?
