[Noticing just how red and embarrassed Clay looks next to him, he reaches over to give Clay's hand a comforting squeeze as he whispers in his ear] I'm so sorry. I should've been more careful.

[With leaving the store, with the handcuffs, with life. BASICALLY ALL THEIR CHOICES THAT LED THEM HERE.

But Allen knows it's important to deal with what you have wrought, so he'll follow along the Seraph, just trying to think back to his medical training. Yeah...just think of it that]

Uh....

I-In a sense, yes. Some more than others...

[geonomy]

[Clay squeezes Allen's hand in return, though he still doesn't peek up from his visor. Really, it shouldn't be so bad. Mikleo's not mortified, he's not aghast, and he's not judging them. It's just... the principle of the matter!! That they're sort of revealing a very intimate side of their relationship that's just his and Allen's alone, and ugh. Ugh.]

It's fine - I think I made it worse by trying to make up excuses for it...

[It's like Allen put up a sign pointing to the store while Clay added flashing neon lights to it. This pair.

But, well, now Mikleo's actually browsing everything. He tilts his visor up a bit, if only to see how Mikleo's faring, which is... okay? He's doing okay, he guesses?]

Uh, yeah. And, you know, some less than others. Some not at all. Humans are all kind of... different? With this stuff?

[nerdeology]

That makes sense. There are plenty of people who're unique in other ways, so there's no reason for this to be different.

[He keeps going, eyes roving over each and every object. Some of them are kind of self-explanatory - like, the concept of a "butt plug" is mortifying but at least obvious in purpose, but not intent, because W H Y - but he's not sure what's safe to ask about when it isn't so clear. Allen and Clay are already so embarrassed. He'd hate to make it worse by bringing it up. Maybe this sort of thing is still too new? Maybe they don't know?

Actually, there is one thing- he lifts a wrist, the fluffy cuffs dangling.]

Wait, so what are these really meant for?

[Are they actually handcuffs, or has he attached some complex kink to his wrist, or what.]

[save_the_souls]

[Yeah, diversity is great and humanity has a huge range of-

- Oh god now he's asking about the handcuffs. He glances briefly at Clay. If he loved Clay any less, or Clay didn't seem completely mortified to be part of all this, he'd probably dump this question onto him. But you know, love makes you do the crazy, so...]

They're....for restraint, during... [He swallows] You know.

Some people find it .... um ... arousing, when they are physically restrained. It's considered...a kink.

[geonomy]

[DAMMIT why couldn't they just stick to the whole diversity thing? Clay can work with that! It's scientific! It'd be a great discussion! But nooo, they have to delve into one of his kinks! As if this wasn't embarrassing enough...

He's about to speak up, mostly to just beg him to ask someone else, when Allen takes the bullet for him. Well... he can't just let Allen do that by himself, so he takes in a deep breath, lets it out in a whoosh, then starts to talk as well.]

Everything here kind of... does. I mean. It, uh... caters to? People who find different things... um, arousing. Like - Like the whole diversity thing? Same with this, sort of. Some people find some things... uh, I mean, some people have different... kinks than others.

[nerdeology]

You can tell by looking around this place that that's true...

[This place certainly has quite a selection. Mikleo considers the cuffs for a moment longer, then shakes his head.]

In that case, I don't feel too badly about breaking them. You definitely need something stronger than these. Imagine if you'd made it back to your rooms and it snapped this easily... where do they store these cuffs?

[Stand back, Allen and Clay, this holy being is gonna find and buy you a proper sex toy!!]
