To his credit, Tim does take this mostly seriously. He does want to learn some self defense, but when Rude lets things linger? Tim does his best to make the lingering last as long as possible. Sneaking little extra touches here and there when he can.
Eventually, Rude figures they both have had enough for one day. "Stretches and then we can hit the showers." He wouldn't mind seeing Tim naked, that is for sure. He starts the stretching nice and slow, making sure Tim can see how to do them. And so what if he flexes a little extra.
"You were pretty impressive honestly. I could see you picking this up fairly quickly."
[There is a bit of a pause before Tim texts back.]
I think that would be alright. If you don't mind some company then I think I'll join you for a run sometime and maybe spot you with the weights if you need it. Let me know the next time you're going.
It's these kind of hoaxes. Chain letters, superstitions, and ghost stories. Although it all really depends on how this started. That's why I need to know who it was. Hopefully it's just a normal LIER and then it should be fine. If it's someone tied to the city in some way? Or with strange powers? Then people may die.
[Tim is dressed up for his guest. He's also put on some good cologne for this. It's not too heavy, just enough to show Castiel that he cares about tonight.]
Welcome to my apartment. Come with me to my playroom. [And playroom he does have. A large bed with silk sheets. More importantly is the four post bed that has ropes and various harnesses hanging off of them.] Now, I have the classic red rope, but I have more straps and harnesses as well. Depending on what you're feeling up to. How much experience do you have with this sort of thing?
We're gonna get some lace ball hammocks. I've just never met an actual pirate before. Can't I be curious?
[Not that his curiosity distracts him from the shopping. Tim quickly waving away someone who comes to help them.] We don't need help. [He quickly starts picking up a bunch of frilly underwear he thinks will look good on Ed.] There's a changing room in the back. Come on! I wanna see how these look on you.
Tim is a bit sore, but his vigor is still ready to go. He takes the stretching alright and he can really use it. "Oh, I know." He smirks. Not at all modest right now.
"The showers are big enough for two... or more here."
[ Edward is thankful Tim knows what he's doing, because he finds himself overwhelmed by the options. He gawks at the massive display of what looks like the most delicate and exquisite clothing in the world. They did not make this back home.
He takes a grounding breath as he's handed a pile of things, eyes big. Oh sure. Let's just try these all on. Super casual. No big deal. ]
Right.
[ Fuck it. He follows back, looking for an empty stall. ]
I don't really need more, but... what the hell! Sure I will! Oh! A thong! [He holds up a pair to Ed, shakes his head before putting the pair back. Not that this saves Ed as he simply picks up the next largest size.] You have to try a pair of thongs on! [Into the pile it goes.]
