“Do you want to see them?” the traveler asks and Albedo desperately wants to say yes eagerly.
But he paused and looked around. They were hardly in a place with enough privacy and as much as he wanted to probe the traveler right here and there…
“Very much so… we can meet at my lab tonight.” Albedo said instead while his eyes flickers curiously.
“Tonight?”
“Yes… is that not favourable to you?”
“No, no… just wondering… anyways I’ll see you tonight then!”
The traveler went off and left… leaving Albedo like a gaping fish.
As an alchemist and researcher… Being curious is a normal part and researching or experimenting on the subject they find intriguing is normal as well. In his years of experience living in the city… Albedo was sure he saw piercings on strangers, it’s now new anyway… but when the traveler mentioned he had multiple piercings across his body… he couldn't help but be intrigued. Who wouldn’t after all? Probably those clueless just what kind of divine being is walking alongside them… Albedo was glad he wasn't one of those.
The night came and as promised Albedo waited at his lab… staring at his door and standing up when he heard familiar footsteps outside. The traveler is in the pose of knocking when he opens the door… startling him slightly.
“Hello.” he greeted.
“Albedo!”
Their set up feels like their usual… with the traveler doing what he was asked and Albedo just observing anything that he noticed odd or strange. Except this time the traveler is top less and is sitting on a single chair while Albedo walks in a circle around him.
“This feels a little nerve wracking.” traveler said.
“What gives?”
“Nothing… just haven’t shown them to anyone I guess?”
Albedo nodded and they proceeded. “We can start when you’re comfortable.”
The traveler quickly gets comfortable as he guides him on his… chest. Albedo admits he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to look at and just noticed that the traveler indeed has a great chest.
When the traveler points at his… nipple Albedo quickly looks at it.
“Ahh… I removed them and don’t wear them as much well because… it kinds of weird whenever I’m fighting.”
Albedo nods. “May I touch it?”
The traveler startled before agreeing rather stiffly.
Albedo admits that his curiosity sometimes drowns his other thoughts… he can only feel the traveler flinch when his finger prodded at the small pink bud and rolled it between his fingers. He only noticed something was amiss when he looked above… The traveler’s face had gone red and the blushed spread from his cheeks down to his chest.
An alluring sight indeed. Anyone would’ve a certain thought after this.
Intentionally… Albedo pinches the nipple slightly and watches how the traveler gasps and bites his knuckles as if suppressing his own voice. His unoccupied hand was balled in fist… resting on his legs below. Albedo’s eyes gleam.
Fascinating.
“Say traveler… Could you show me more?”
