"I could kidnap you right now if I want."

You say after you realize he is a Lemurian, he is sick today and his skin is scorching, yet you decided to tease him while he's a Lemurian.

"Why me?"

Rafayel reaponds with a low yet subtly sick tone of voice, his amused gaze looking away a bit.

"You can cry pearls, make sharp weapons, and create amazing art. Why should I let you run away?"

You reply jokingly while slowly moving your soft hand downwards to his hair, your hand going down to his cheek with your index finger tracing his small scales, then tracing his jawline to grab his chin and sharply move his tilted head back to yours, just to tease him. Yet Rafayel has his gaze locked onto yours in any circumstance.

"I'll lock you up in a cage, and whip you every day."

You declare in an obvious joking and teasing tone, Rafayel's gaze never left yours, his gaze subtly moving down to your face, then back up at your eyes silently.

"I'll force you to finish your paintings. You also have to address me as "Master" if you want to eat..."

You continue your teasing. Then Rafayel turns his head fully towards you, the corners of his lips are slightly upwards in amusement, suddenly teasing back.

"You really want that?"

Rafayel says in a low tone to tease you further, he doesn't back down at all.

"...What?"

You ask, you were surprised by the question, yet you knew that he knew you were joking.

"Master."

Rafayel said in his low tone of voice as if to tease you with a submissive voice, yet he was still sick.
