Nodding along Rivin repeated back the requested information,
"Intentions, Conditions, Consequences, I will make a note of each of these things, once we are dry. Also, it should say what we are each to gain out of the bargain, but, perhaps that is obvious so you did not say."
This seemed very likely as he said it but he was becoming distracted by the greater complexity of Sivan's muscular structure, as he moved higher. There were nerve clusters and ligaments to be careful of, and pinching the larger muscles between his hands and the major bones would also be significantly unpleasant.
He tilted his head, eyes fading a little into the pale blue of curiosity as the subject of embarrassment was broached.
"Why would I be made uncomfortable by this thing? If it was a bad lie the Magus might be angry with me, and I would feel fear, apprehension of the consequences but not humiliation." He seemed genuinely puzzled by this idea. That the only consequences in his formative years had been physical or emotional pain was quite obvious in his aura as wide open as it currently was. Social consequences, such as shame, were very difficult for him to understand.
"Anyway, the Magus knows I can not hide my aura from him, though he often hides it from others on my behalf. I could not lie to him unless I myself believed the lie."
Rivin often asked to have such removed before he went home so that Sivan would know it was him in the house if he was sensing with his own rune of Semblance. The fact that his aura would not show a lie if he believed it said all sorts of interesting things about the nature of magic and the sentient mind but Rivin was not thinking about any of that now.
When he was hooked he allowed himself to be pulled closer without a flicker of unease of even change in his aura, only scooting to accommodate the closeness and wrapping his hands around the highest point of Sivan's thigh, where it met his body and beginning a surprisingly gentle exploration.
"There are so many different parts here, connections, vessels for the blood to travel, both close to the skin and deep inside, it is a difficult place to work tension out of and one in which many males seem to keep a lot. It is perhaps good that sex often works the area clear of such or there might build up significant pain over time."
That Rivin himself did not have sex, at least not any kind that would require him to thrust with that area of his body, didn't occur to him, but he was young and enjoyed other activities that pushed his whole body to stretch and move.
"I thank you, again, for your assistance in this matter. The rune, Traversion, I want it very much but do not want to be beholden to a Magus without a contract to limit his hold over me. Even as I do trust him, it seems wiser, yes?"
Without stopping for an answer he changed topics back to their bodies,
"Are there any places where you are holding tension? My teachers are taking me through the most delicate areas in detail first, hands, feet, joints, but they did a basic tutorial of all the major muscle groupings before. My hands and arms are not fully used to doing this thing for long periods of time but I want to build that stamina so, if there are areas which require attention specifically I would like to start with those."
