Jade closes his eyes, letting out a thoughtful noise. Although he keeps his expression neutral, his pulse spikes, pounding rapidly with excitement - he had never expected Shinjirou to be so open with him so soon. It explains a lot about his behaviour, and already Jade is wondering how best to use it against him.

"It all comes down to a matter of control." He wraps his hand firmly against Shinjirou's cock. His skin is velvety smooth to the touch, especially when compared against his hand, with calluses formed from a lifetime of writing and wielding weapons. "Either control your emotions, or your reactions."

He doesn't have the faintest idea how emotions would be controlled - he can't remember ever having felt anger or fear for more than a fleeting moment. It's unnatural, he knows, but that's simply how he is.

Which left controlling reactions. That, he had some experience with.

"I may be able to assist you. But you'll have to trust me." He is not blind to what he's doing - Jade is no altruist, acting out of the goodness of his heart. No, he's simply doing this to gain better control over Shinjirou.

But if it benefits them both, then what's the harm?
