Welcome To The Fold

[hybrid_prince]

"We do it so they feel hope for the power their people can attain."

That was what Emperor Dorrek had been told when he was a teenaged prince and found himself expected to take the first member of his imperial harem. One person of each people of the empire, on the idea that some day he would choose his consort from among them, would sire a child and heir upon them. It was his duty, and the people's they ruled would know they were close to power through the subject who might one day rule next to him.

The problem with it all was that Dorrek found the whole thing repugnant. Most of those given to his 'imperial consorts' were women, which was a problem for him. Which made every instance of these moments in the court tiring. Here he sat, upon his throne, awaiting the presentation of the newest offerings for his harem. He would have to choose one to take into his family, someone he would no doubt eventually send back to the others, trying not to feel disgusted by the whole process.

"You are before his Imperial Majesty, Emperor Dorrek-Vell. Kneel before his splendor and know you are close to greatness," his herald calls out to the assembled and Dorrek tried not to yawn.

"I can handle you. I'm tougher than I look," Tighnari says without a hint of hesitation.

[hybrid_prince]

Well damn. The Emperor laughs and gestures to a guard.

"Please send the others away," he says, extending a hand out to Tighnari. "You and I should talk more."

[tighnauri]

Tighnari isn't sure if he should be relieved or not but he accepts the other's hand, his ears alert.

"And what is it we need to discuss?"

[hybrid_prince]

Oh, probably not relieved. Dorrek guides the man away from the others who are being shuffled out.

"Oh so many things. Like that tone of yours."

[tighnauri]

Tighnari's tail sways behind him as he follows the other's guiding, glancing around. He bites back a smirk at the other's answer.

"What's wrong with my tone?"

[hybrid_prince]

"You're only a consort at this moment," Dorrek points out. "And maybe you're looking higher than you should."

Still, he was interesting, and honestly, he hadn't been looking forward to this, so he supposed he could take what he get here.

[tighnauri]

"Maybe. Or maybe I just won't compromise who I am," Tighnari says simply. "And so far... it's kept you interested, hasn't it?"

[hybrid_prince]

Well damn, that's rather interesting. The guy was just so powerful to consider. He looks at Tighnari and tilts his head to consider...

"You are either going to drive me crazy, or be a good consort," Dorrek laughs.

[tighnauri]

"I don't see why those have to be mutually exclusive," Tighnari smiles, one ear twitching .

[hybrid_prince]

Yeah, that's what a headache feels like. Good to know he remembers. Fuckign hell.

"I understand your point and hate it even more than you can imagine."

[tighnauri]

"Oh? Why do you hate it so much?" Tighnari laughs softly.

[hybrid_prince]

"Because I don't need headaches," he says with a roll of his eyes.

[tighnauri]

"I could help you with your headache if you like," Tighnari offers with a slight grin.

[hybrid_prince]

That's an interesting offer. The emperor raises an eyebrow with a smirk.

"Can you now?"

[tighnauri]

"Yes, I can. Are you thinking something naughty right now?" Tighnari follows up the confirmation with a question and raised brow.

[hybrid_prince]

"I've heard an orgasm is one of the best ways to deal with one, so yes. Of course I am."

[tighnauri]

"Well, that's true and I'm more than willing to give you that kind of treatment but... I am trained medically," Tighnari says with a bit of a mischievous smirk.

[hybrid_prince]

Medically? What does that even mean?

"Well, let's go test that then."

[tighnauri]

Well, he could have gone an actual medical route instead of them experimenting with an orgasm but he’s also not complaining if it helps secure himself.

“Mm of course.”

[hybrid_prince]

"Come, let us see," he says with a hand held out to his newest consort.

[tighnauri]

Tighnari reaches to accept his hand without hesitation, one of his ears flicking, the only sign of his nervousness as he follows the emperor.

[hybrid_prince]

The Emperor guides Tighnari away from the throne room, to a nearby door and through it. Time to head through the back halls to his secure room.

"How old are you, might I ask?"

[tighnauri]

"I'm 25," Tighnari answers as they make they're way out of the throne room. His ears flick, trying to catch every sound possible, his tail flicking behind him.

[hybrid_prince]

Ah, that's older than the Emperor was expecting. In fact, older than the Emperor himself. He takes them through a quiet door and keeps them going down another corridor with a few guards but little else.

"Older than many of my harem, if age is equivalent across space."

[tighnauri]

"Is that a problem?" Tighnari questions, his brow raising. His tail flicks behind him as he awaits that answer as they move along to somewhere with even the guards in sight he assumes.
