[ Sylvain is talking about a different kind of Dominant, but Joshua can't help but harken that statement to the Dominants of his world. They're all different kinds of people after all. The Dominant of Garuda had captured him once and was the kind of person who liked bossing people around. He can only huff a soft chuckle at that comment, finding it amusing. ]

I see. So, that is my "vibe". [ Grandpa Joshua saying how do you do, fellow kids. Thanks for the vocab catch-up, Sylvain! ] If not that, when what do I strike you as?

[ They're not wrong... but it certainly is the wrong way to go about it. That feeling of wanting to be close, to be touched and to touch, is so great though. Joshua's only so good at pushing down any urges that they haven't taken over him yet. And for as long as he can, he wouldn't want to give into them. ]

Have you been on that stage before?
