"...Is it gonna hurt?" asks a shirtless, slightly trembling Garu while Olivine dabs a damp cloth around his cute nipples. Big puppy eyes stare up at the priest, who can't help but pause and lay a petting hand on the boy's soft hair.
"I can't tell you it won't hurt, but it will be only for a few moments. I will heal you right away." The head rubs land better than those words. Hearing Garu's faint little whine, Olivine smiles warmly and adds, "But if you're not comfortable going through with it, Garu, that's alright. I'm sure Eiden will very much enjoy your outfit regardless."
"Ah– n-no, I want to! It's so pretty… The jewelry that Aster got us." In a tray on the bedside table are the rings and their connected dangling chains. Garu glances at them again, marveling at the brilliant blues and yellows of star and snowflake-shaped gems that would decorate his chest for Master.
But also… the other stuff. The needle.
"It's just a little scary, but I– nhn—?"
"Garu?" Olivine watches with concern when Garu abruptly shakes his head, but he quickly realizes what's happening as the pup speaks up.
"Tch! I've had enough of that fool embarrassing us with his cowardice– the mighty Karu can weather these pains like they're nothing, as usual."
Karu sits up, scratching one of his nipples because it feels weird (Olivine notes it'll need sanitizing again, but withholds reaction). He glances at the tray of stuff too, though less reverently. "Grarr, it's such a pathetic tiny needle… But I have my own concerns. Can those things truly charm the human slave? Will it make him more susceptible to my commands?"
Olivine chuckles, trying his best not to sound dismissive.
"He seems quite fond of mine… And I don't know about 'commands', but Eiden has never refused a request that I can remember."
"Never– that wily slave?" Karu's ears perk up. "Yours… let me see, human priest!"
"Oh?" Olivine blinks. An unexpected ask, but perhaps the example will reassure them? "Sure..."
With his robe unbuttoned, Olivine's heavy bare chest spills out and sags– he bites his lower lip from the sensations of gravity alone, hoping Karu won't notice. Which Karu probably won't, transfixed as he is by the viridian teardrops and by the dangling chain betwixt Olivine's pecs…
That attention makes the priest go a little pink; he clears his throat.
"I have these permanently, but strong healing magic can fully undo the process if you don– nnhh– y-yaah!"
Without permission, the yokai had reached out to paw at the dainty chain, making Olivine's nipples pop with pleasure. His face flushes darker.
"Doesn't it make you… w-weaker, there?"
"Not in… a bad way."
Olivine snatches Karu's wrist, but doesn't pull that hand away. Rather, he smushes it against his breast, filling the curious pup's palm with soft flesh. It grinds on the piercing, and he licks his lips through a moan.
"I… can show you how before we start, Ka-ru…"
