"I'll admit my thoughts are sort of general, but I really like your suggestion," he murmurs. His voice a little bit shy, but also a little bit breathless once he mentions collaring him. He likes collars; even if there had been some less-than-safe aspects to the Sex Galleria, it had proven that he liked the weight of them, the way they felt even if it wasn't connected to someone like Rhys or Eliot or Julian--
"And simple is a good place to start anyway." He smiles warm, appreciation clear in his expression as he looks at the other man. "I want this. I want my contract to be like this; power-exchange with someone I trust."
He knows that thought makes Julian uncomfortable, which is one of the reasons he's not asking, even if he's thought about it once in a while. He has a sub, and Fran is honest enough to know he's the opposite of low-maintenance in this sort of regard. Then there's Eliot and Caleb. And it had been one of those strange moments where the second he really thought about the question he knew what he wanted.
"So I want to work out what I want, because I think that was part of the issue the first time. It was too easy for people to tell me it was going to be fine because I didn't know what I was trying to ask for. And I want to do better." There's a definite undertone there of trying to be a better Submissive, even if he doesn't put it in those words. But as much as he hates being a Submissive for LIEs, he enjoys it when it's for people, those he likes, trusts.
"But I'm tactile, and sometimes I get sort of lost when it's just talking- as you've seen, once or twice. So my initial thought was just some way to mix it together? Definitely mostly power-exchange and maybe a bit of guidance. Commands are pretty much always sexual in some capacity for me, and I certainly like when you touch me, but I wasn't thinking that would be... the focus, I guess." He looks up at him, a sweet sort of smile, sipping at his tea as he tries to ignore that hum of anticipation.
