[Right. If he wants to let them. If he steels himself for it--Ash can say it however he likes. The bottom line is,]
Yeah, I am a little. [Worried about him. Which isn't to say that he doesn't think Ash is strong or tough enough to manage. He has no doubt about that. What worries him is how much he'll end up having to suffer along the way. He supposes that either way it'll make Ash bristle or scoff to hear him say it though.]
But you're right, I wouldn't wanna be told who to fuck or when. And you don't gotta be told that either if you're smart about it. Being marked as a Submissive doesn't change that.
[He means that, honestly. And he's looking at Ash with earnest, direct eyes. There's caring in them, but maybe Ash won't believe that it's real. What he's picking up in all this is that whether it's a matter of there having been too much sex or not enough in Ash's past, it's a place of conflict for him, and that's going to make this city difficult. A lot more difficult than any question of crime or corruption or street gangs (all of which are here in spades).]
