Home videos weren't around yet in my time. Television screens in the home are still new, I couldn't afford one, myself.
Would they know what to do? Actually, you've never told me if you have any traditions like that back home.
He offered to teach you instead of do it to you?
It's the 40 day period before Easter where we give up unnecessary temptations and vices so we can focus on the things that matter. It's been a few years since I've done it properly.
Really? But film was, right? We don't even have that, when I'm from.
Not really? Burial at sea is most traditional, I guess, for a sailor. Villagers still bury people in the ground, though. Mark the grave somehow, usually. But we don't really pray or do anything like that.
He offered to "help out". I didn't ask much further because I fell asleep under my bed around then.
Oh. Pictures, then? Those are easier, right? I've seen some in books, at least.
Honestly, I'd just want it done as quickly as possible, so I can come back. Businesslike. I have a lot of things to do.
Well, I wouldn't want to do anything you wouldn't be okay with, so...maybe that'd be a good idea? You'd need to approve. That's the most important things.
I see. It sounds sort of like meditation or training, like when someone goes into the mountains and fights bears and sits under waterfalls? [...no.]
Well, yes. But maybe the camera will come with photos of your home. Your world. That'd be neat, right?
Maybe? Maybe. If you were both okay with it. If it wasn't weird. I know neither of you would judge me if I suddenly changed my mind, so.
Fighting needs awareness too. You have to be conscious of yourself and what you can do and your limits and place in the universe. It's not exactly the same, but there's enough similar. Like warriors who fast or meditate before a battle.
I guess it would be. I could show you my sister. Or my church.
I'd be okay with it. Like I said, I trust you. And clearly I don't mind being your guinea pig. As long as it's just tying me up. No sex. At least until Easter.
Exactly, yeah. I'd love to see your family, especially.
You're going to have Hawk tie you up and show you off and you're not going to want to make it sexy? Should I bring a notepad and raise my hand if I have a question?
Wasn't he in the military too? Maybe he'll respect the metaphor.
Use your common sense, Koby. I can't have sex. I would rather if nobody did it around me, until Lent is over. Tying me up can be stimulating but it can't go further than that.

I see. What counts as "unnecessary"?
no subject
Oh. Well...we can't get to the sea, and we would have to put you in the ground for you to come back, so that's out of the question.
Do you want me to?
Anything that isn't furthering my relationship with God. Alcohol, sex, excessive consumption. I'll be fasting.

I'd say a prayer still.
I guess it depends. He does it to be possessive. I don't want him acting like that towards anyone else. But if it isn't like that, it's okay.
...kind of like meditation of training. But no waterfalls or bears. Where did you get that?
no subject
If it came from you, I'd like that. That's all I'd need.
No, I wouldn't want it like that either. Not from him.
No offense, of course, but he's yours.
It's a technique they talk about in the Marines. I went for the punching-battleships thing instead. I don't like bears.
no subject
None taken. But if you were looking for lessons, I wouldn't mind. I could help, if you want. Someone to demonstrate on.
It's not about fighting. It's about becoming more spiritually aware.

I guess so. Try selling it to Hawk like that.

It can be sexy. [ Everything Hawk does is sexy, unless Tim is mad at him, so jot that down. ] Just not actual sex.
Yeah, he was. He was a hero, with the medals and scars to prove it.
no subject
He won a MEDAL? He's never mentioned that! He can tell me all about it while he ties you up :)
no subject
It's a date :)
