I'm honored to be the one, then. [He's joking but it is intriguing. Crais is still a bit of a mystery, but he's using his networking powers for good, which is always a relief.]

It says something good about both of us. He knows I'm trustworthy, and could tell you're someone I'd consider contracting with. The only time I've had multiple subs was before my partner was comfortable signing with me -- a friend of mine needed a dom too. They wound up overlapping for awhile.

Jesus, you have no idea. I mean... I usually stay out of trouble, but it's not for my own sake and sometimes I'm just not willing to fall in line. But yeah the scale goes from that to like. Total chaos incarnate.
Honestly? It doesn't change shit. I've been here like a year and a half and things pretty much are how they are. Apparently years back there was a power shake-up but I don't think we had much to do with it... and the guy who told me about it said things were better for subs before.

[ He thinks for a moment, then shakes his head. This might be the first time one of them has pointed a total newbie at the other. ]
We've teamed up to work through stuff with people we both know, but this is a little different. It might mean I've finally made his list?
