I've seen it. You don't even have to do anything wrong, if some Dom fucks up and they need a body for whatever fucked up little scenario they've come up with--wrong place wrong time, that's all it takes.

( which isn't a lie, even if it isn't a wholly truthful answer. it's enough to make him feel vaguely guilty — he might not have made any promises to oliver specifically about pulling in this habit of just lying about shit, but it's still something that he's been trying to stop.

but it's all way too much for a first day, even if that's a bit of an excuse too. he's not sure he plans to tell any of it, honestly, he just wants oliver safe, so he swallows a little and lifts their hands, presses his lips briefly to their joined knuckles. )

Just like...be careful. You can't get away with shit up here. The Down is fucked but at least there's not guards everywhere, it's better.
