Details
Back home, I'm a noble, the son of a Margrave, but for most of my life I've been a knight and a soldier. I'm mostly just looking for a good time and people who are open-minded enough to enjoy it with me, maybe try out some new things. There's a lot here I've never gotten to experience and I'm interested in changing that.
Outside of that, I'm a connoisseur of fine food and fine teas. I enjoy cooking, gardening, horseback riding, chess, and discussing a wide variety of topics, whether it's art, fiction, theoretical ideals, or more esoteric topics.
Enjoying myself to the fullest here. Making conections and meeting new people. Experiencing all this place has to offer and finding those interested in exploring it with me.
Varied and many. I had a robust interest in pursuing pleasures of all sorts back home and I hope to keep expanding that knowledge and skillset here.
I enjoy books on a variety of topics, but I've never seen a movie. Plays and operas are far more common in my world and a comparible form of entertainment. I like a wide variety of dishes and have a fondness for trying new dishes from distant places. I have a fondness for spices and rich flavors.
I'm very adaptable and tend to adjust to whoever I'm with, making this a very broad category, since I have a varied taste in companions as well, depending on my mood. I find people interesting and like as many varieties here as I do in my favorite dishes.

I dunno. There was probably a 50/50 chance of it either being fine, or prompting a complete freakout. [ his lips quirk in a rueful grin, looking a little sheepish. He knows himself too well. And the things that can cause him to start panicking, often over nothing. Or just too many past ghosts. ]
Usually when that word got invoked back home - or I suspected it was about to be - that was about the time I started looking around for the nearest door. Or window.
no subject
Shall I find you a door or window then? [ he teases, not missing the sheepishness in the admission. ]
To be clear, though, my feelings are meant as a gift, not a leash. You do not have to return them, nor do I expect anything different of you than we already have. I...suspect that was not the case in these past experiences.
[ He...does know something of words being used as ropes and subterfuge and obligation, even if he was typically caught on the earnest side of them. ]
no subject
A leash is pretty accurate, yeah. I was considered quite the catch. Or a challenge. Between my Crest and my title, if someone managed to snag me - or ensnare me - they’d be set for life. Some sought me in ambition, in desperation, or just for the challenge of it. It’s why I so rarely ever repeated a night with the same person. It was too dangerous in forming an attachment - from either end. I didn’t want to encourage it - never met anyone that really tempted me to want to encourage it.
[ his gaze flits up to meet Basch’s once more, though. Searching his face, and then pressing a kiss to the corner of his lips. ]
‘Til here, anyway. So no, no doors or windows needed. I know where they are. But for the first time… your feelings are mine. Not about my Crest or my position or my riches. That’s the biggest gift anyone’s ever given me in itself.
no subject
[ But the way Sylvain searches him and finds what he's looking for softens Basch's expression, as do his words. It spreads warmth in him, and pride, and something else. Disbelief, acceptance. ]
I'm that much more honored you took a chance on seeing me again when we first met, little fox. And I have no interest in leashing you. I like exactly who you are, and I like seeing you happy, regardless if I am the cause.
[ It feels important to confirm that. He doesn't want this word to become a weight instead of the joy that it is. ]
no subject
[ He smiles as he leans in to kiss the other man. Still feeling a little sheepish and self-conscious, especially speaking about topics like this. He still marveled that he'd grown so attached to Basch - and so quickly - that a conversation like this was even possible. ]
For all that this place has been a challenge, I can't bring myself to regret any of it. If only because I've met you. I never expected to find someone like you.
no subject
That’s mutual. I had long resigned myself to only flings and being used, and feared this place was punishment for my failures at home. Now I think both are false. It is as you say. I cannot regret meeting you, and so I cannot believe this place is inherently bad or unlucky.
But — I still don’t think I expected you to feel the same. I am glad to be wrong.
no subject
[ He gives a quiet, self-deprecating laugh at that, even as his lips quirk in a rueful smile. ]
I’d long since resigned myself to the same. This… Finding anything beyond shallow temporary pleasures was not something I even let myself consider as possible. I’m glad to be wrong.
And you, [ he adds, with a playful nip to Basch’s lower lip. ] deserve no punishment anyway.
no subject
Unless you're the one delivering my punishment.
[ Then his grin spreads, shaking his head. ] Did you really enjoy surrendering to me that thoroughly? I should not be surprised, with your birthday and the Naked Yolk before this, but I admit I still am. And that I like having you there, tentacles or no. [ Which he doesn't quite get out without turning red. ]
no subject
Did you think I was faking it? I assure you, I was not. I can't say it's something I would have thought to suggest, but it was far more enjoyable with you than that time in the bathhouse.
[ He doesn't specify that it was Basch himself that made it better, but he also feels that's pretty clearly implied. ]
no subject
Not faking. Just...I didn't know how much was this place's influence.
[ He thinks now, very little.
And turns a darker shade of red, as he returns that fond kiss before admitting ] When it happened then, even in that haze, I was wishing it was me touching you. I suppose it grew from there. I -- feeling so much of you at once was certainly an experience I enjoyed.
[ And that image of ecstasy, while Sylvain clamped around every piece of him, would live dearly in his memory. ]
no subject
I prefer it when it’s you touching me, too.
