[He enjoys the brief moment of appreciation, even as the anticipation of the scene still sings through his nerves, making him feel far more alert than usual. Albus moves to the floor in front of the coffee table, not entirely sure where or even how to stand, watching Elias handle the rope all the while.]
Have you ever done this before?
[It's asked out of curiosity, not concern. He trusts Elias not to be clumsy with this, even if he is a new hand at it. Still, he does wonder if this is a taste he's developed before, or a new idea for him.]
Upon another? Not to such an extent. And my practise of many of these knots has all been on a smaller scale.
[As if he were arranging a sculpture, Elias turns him to where the waning light through the spacious windows illuminates him best, taps his ankles gently until his feet are slightly apart and parallel. Albus needs little correcting, but he passes light hands over him even where he's already perfect, confirmation that he is exactly where Elias means him to be. Back straight, neck relaxed,shoulders even and hands at his sides. He comes around to his face last, smiling slightly in approval, thumb skimming over his cheekbone.]
Now. I do need you to remain still while I do this. Talk all you like, but your feet- [And he taps the top of one in illustration without breaking contact, toes light against the arch.] -remain here. Understood?
I see. In that case, I'm pleased to be your first test subject.
[He says the words in jest, but there's a breathlessness to them all the same. Albus feels as if he is entirely on alert, each subtle nudge from Elias stoking it higher. Elias' gestures feel so clinical and precise, so different from what he is used to, and there is a piece of him that wishes to simply reach out and touch -- but he stays still as he's asked to, hands at his sides, taking pleasure in Elias' approval as he keeps himself motionless.]
[He favors him with a little smile, then sets to work, looping the rope over his neck and setting a knot between his shoulderblades before coming around to the front. His arms work in long, artful sweeps, drawing the entire length of the rope through with every knot of the doubled rope hanging down his chest to curl loosely at their feet.]
A full harness to start, I think. It would be a shame to have you undressed and not use the entirety of the canvas I've been given, mm?
Of course, it would be a dreadful shame indeed. Besides, it is nice to be appreciated.
[His words are calm and teasing, though his eyes flicker over each new movement. Some part of him can't help but study this, watching the way the rope drapes and loops across his skin, the shape of the harness slowly starting to form. Elias' motions are smooth and confident with each draw of the cord, and it's both reassuring and intriguing how easily he works to ensnare him.]
I should hope that you never doubt you are appreciated, Albus.
[He replies with an equal lightness, grey eyes crinkling at the corners in subtle amusement as he continues the long chain of overhand knots, the last resting against his stomach a hand's breadth below the navel. He takes an additional moment deliberating the placement of the next, though once it's tied he parts the parallel ropes, leading them to the left and right of his exposed member. He does it without more attention than an inevitable graze, one testicle rolling over his bare wrist as he passes the rope front to back, humming a low note of satisfaction as the swell of the most recent knot presses into the firm spot where his cock roots into the dense web of muscle between his legs.]
[With a slight smile, he says:] Never. My Dominant is very good at reminding me.
[There's still a slight tone of jest to the words, but it is quickly losing ground as Elias continues to run lines of rope across him. The anticipation building in him spikes as Elias tugs the cords towards his cock. A whimper escapes him at the offhand way Elias touches him, brushing across him casually without notice, continuing his web of tangled lines with a workman-like approach.
The last knot sits hard and heavy where it nestles between his legs. Even standing still, it presses into the skin at the base of his cock, a noticeable weight bearing into his body. It sits like with an edge of promise to it, and its distracting enough that there is a beat before he answers Elias.]
