[He nodded, knowing that there was little chance of avoiding jealousy altogether. Gods help him, but he even envied her brother (though he wasn't ever going to address or think about the reason why.)]

Aye, I promise to tell you the truth about whatever you want to know or ask me. But you've got no reason to be jealous. There's no one like you.

I will envy whoever is lucky enough to have you as a Dominant. [She knows he once asked her though she still has her contract with Cesare. It is not because she does not want to contract with Jon. There is just a much larger game at play here, and signing with another would have to be the last option between her and Cesare. Otherwise she knows it simply would not work between the two of them.]

But you are kind to say.

[He meets her eyes sadly, wishing it could be different. The obvious solution would be to contract with her and her alone, binding them in some form of commitment, but she was contracted to her brother and he knew that there was little reason to press for her to sever that. Whatever was between her and Cesare, they meant to stay together and he accepted that.]

We have this. It's a contract for us.

[One more binding than the city, at least on his end.]

You can set whatever terms you want for me to have in contracts. If you don't like someone I suggest, you have the right to tell me not to contract with them. If you'd rather I not live with them, but instead find them somewhere else, tell me.

You don't have to be jealous.

I do not want a contract with you-- I would want more than. [A contract is what this place puts on them, but what she wants with Jon is something more natural, not when there are contingencies and stipulations written in. It seems so mechanical.]

We will work it out.

[She has faith in that.]

Let's try and eat, shall we?
