Yeah, I think it's more background but it might be useful one day. We still don't really have an idea what's beyond all the countries retrieving a fragment of the Moon.

[He hums his approval at the advancement, a quirk of his lips at the bite that easily gives way, letting his mouth open wider and taking himself in to taste Jing Yuan at his intrusion - Jing Yuan leads heavily with passion, and Solomon catches him, letting him explore before sliding himself right alongside, tongue and teeth and panted breath. He doesn't push back so much as he guides it in circles, a swirling parry to the straightforward nature of Jing Yuan's own emotions. To catch and swaddle and push them right back, coaxing, coaxing -- keep taking, it says, as Solomon sucks lightly on that retreating tongue in a moment of breath, as Jing Yuan's palms pull him in by the back, by the hip...
With all the litheness of a cat, Solomon slides himself closer, up onto his knees as he pushes up and over Jing Yuan's lap to straddle one of his thighs, both hands now cupping his face as he lets them part only for breath, only for breath, glances minimal and heated. Indulge, is what Jing Yuan had said. So let the man melt under his fingers like fine chocolates, let him work to contain the uncontainable. Solomon drinks of his mouth slowly, deeply, feeling the heat that rises in his chest and letting it simmer for now. He is the water to the fire below - he will find his own time, to vaporize, to become the air that feeds him instead.]

[He allows that touch to travel, another pleased hum at the travelling grip against his leg, even dropping one of his own hands to splay against Jing Yuan's own as though to follow it, to run against the muscle of his clothed forearm as it moves from hip to waist to even further.
It's the more intentional attempt at friction that has Solomon finally breaking the kiss, leaning his face to press his lips to Jing Yuan's jawline once with a hushed tone against his ear.]
Shh... Don't forget where we are, Jing Yuan. I have my pride.
[Though he doesn't make any movement to separate their hips. Not yet. The warmth is so enticing, and feeling Jing Yuan react so immediately to a single moment of passion has Solomon's chest fueled with amusement. One would think the general was still young with such obvious excitement.
Another quiet, chaste press of his lips against that jawline, even as his hands find both of Jing Yuan's forearms, a bracing grip as he intentionally rolls their hips together. Once, purposefully, slowly, before raising himself up too high to follow through.]

[Ah.
Solomon stifles a sound in his throat at the suddenness of it, the rough and aggressive nature to the sudden pinching warmth under lips and tongue and teeth, right where his pulse starts to pound just a little hotter.
Oh. Oh, this is dangerous. He cups Jing Yuan's head against his neck as his next breath comes in a little more shallow, free hand gripping against the one holding at this clothing to expose him. Not to take that touch away, but to acknowledge its presence, to feel the shift of tendon and muscle.
This is dangerous. He shouldn't---
Get a hold of yourself, sorcerer.]

[For a passing moment, it feels like it shouldn't matter. A spot of weakness, of wanting to take the bait and give in return, to just follow that push and pull, that back and forth. It's deliciously enticing, and for that passing moment, he almost caves to keeping it going, as he leans his head to rest just barely against Jing Yuan's shoulder and expose the line of his neck further, the dark characters that show the start of protective sigils. His shoulders roll with a tremble, a voiceless sigh, a subtle rolling of his body up into the ministration of Jing Yuan's mouth. Not enough to provide either of them friction, but close enough to feel the heat that's starting to bother Jing Yuan is a shared matter.]

[No. No, that's far enough for now.
As soon as Jing Yuan's mouth frees from him, Solomon's hand raises to gently press against Jing Yuan's lips, to give them a slight amount of distance as he backs off his lap just slightly. He's a little breathier now, though what tinge of color he may lack for now is made up for by the heat now heavy in his eyes.]
Not even a dialogue for me, General? What a poor warning.
[It's not serious, of course. But he does let the silence sit thick, a slow trace of his fingertips over those warm, warm lips.]
...
I'm sorry. Don't misunderstand. I don't mean to scare you off from this. Perhaps indulgence could do us some good... should we both desire it.
[And yet the quiet sits. A moment of letting the simmer remain a simmer, keeping it from boiling over too far, too fast.]
I don't ask for your heart now, Jing Yuan, when I'm not ready to give you mine. I don't ask for your feelings or desires, beyond what you wish to share. I don't wish you to give yourself completely in this moment that is difficult for you. So don't bring any more of yourself than you feel you must.
But if you find your soul so eager... and the night feels too cold...
[His fingers drag against that bottom lip. Just barely, just enough pressure to tease.]
...If this is something you cannot ignore, then find me in the Nectar District. Later. Bar Bennett.
[His expression tilts down just slightly. Lidded eyes and smile just so.]
If the carnal calls you so serenely... then you may find me, and put your hands on me, and allow your heart to be left with mine by the wayside for a night.
[No commitments. No admittance of something as strong as love required. Only curiosity and connection and a desire to be beside, to belong, to understand.
A lonely night, for lonely souls, in privacy. Not here.]

So serious... you're not helping my case against you.
[Wow! 0.5 stars for not taking a joke, Jing Yuan. No rizz. Well, okay, tiny bit better at the end there, he tried to stick the landing, but still! He prompted the man so smoothly to just talk sexy to him and it went straight over his head...
Solomon looks almost disappointed as he sighs, lips pursed in a thin pout and arms crossing in front of his chest.]
Mmm. We need to work on that flirting of yours.

Oh dear, don't start with that. Don't go speaking like Asmodeus, now, or you'll have a completely different set of expectations on you. Unless you want to be seen as a narcissist on the same level as the Avatar of Lust himself.
[He loves Asmodeus dearly in his own way, but also: please, don't be like Asmo. Please, dear god.
Quip aside, he sighs deeply as he leans into that touch, missing it when it lowers. Ah, it all feels electric after so much stimulation... when was the last time he felt like this?]
I lost my ability to age in my twenties, General. If a failed attempt at childish flirting gave me creases to show my age after all this time, I really would be destined for the grave.
I'll accept the grievance, but only on one condition.

You and I would not be in this situation if you did, Jing Yuan.
[He rolls up one of his sleeves past the elbow. Seal after seal after seal, until Asmodeus's seal is visible against the outer curve of his upper arm.
It's not a man Jing Yuan has to worry(?) about. It's a demon.]
No need for comparisons. Asmo and I have a very old and complicated relationship.
[And that's as far as he needs to leave it, rolling his sleeve back down. As far as his condition?]
Go to the Nectar district. Find something, anything you like... so long as it makes you feel the same way you do now at the thought of it. Push your comfort zone a little, if you'd like.
[His smile is a little too easy.]
Just make sure to bring it with you.

[Pff. Still so serious... it really does remind him more of Barbatos than Asmo by far.]
Now, now, don't tilt your hand too far into my sights~
[That's just giving him far too much to work with to be a Problem later. Is Jing Yuan truly such a planner even for matters like this? Well! Maybe he really could use a lesson in the joys of spontaneity... or perhaps just losing a little of that need for control.
Like a switch going off, Solomon's mood tilts right back as if their little encounter hadn't just taken such a deeply sensual turn, lightly sliding himself off Jing Yuan's lap as he calls for his broom. Theres a lot for him to do and not much time to do it, and leaving Jing Yuan to stew in his want for a little longer might just make it all the more interesting.
As he lightly kicks his broom up to his outstretched hand, his other palm slides back under Jing Yuan's jaw, a careful tilt of his gaze up as Solomon seats himself on his broom just so with one leg crossing the other. No need to show the world his current condition, even if it isn't too noticeable just yet.]
Sundown, then. Don't mind for the details. I'll take care of the rest.
...
Be gentle to your heart until then, Jing Yuan. Can you give me that much for now?
