"Wow," is all he can say after hearing Cortrus's incredible story. He listens with rapt attention, fascinated by the idea of someone being so different from anyone else they'd ever met before. "135 years old...I guess that means you've seen a lot in your time," he muses, running his fingers lightly through Cortrus's hair.

The revelation about their age doesn't bother him; if anything, it only serves to make Cortrus seem even more mysterious and enchanting. "

Kenzo takes the ring carefully, admiring its craftsmanship and the history it carries with it. He slips it onto his own finger, feeling a sense of connection to Cortrus grow stronger in that moment. "I would be honored," he says sincerely. "To agree...and to have you by my side."

He leans in, pressing their foreheads together before pulling back with a small smile. "So, what do you say? Want to start our new life together?"

Kenzo pulled away from the kiss, his gaze locked on Alex's eyes as he murmured her new title back to her. The words were both a command and a question, seeking confirmation and understanding.

"And you," he continued, sliding his hands down to cup her hips, "are my pet... My property." He leaned in again, pressing their lips together in a deep, passionate kiss that left them both gasping for air when they finally pulled apart.

Kenzo grinned wolfishly down at Alex as she struggled to catch her breath, her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide with desire. "I think," he said slowly, running a finger along her collarbone, "that it's time we explored what that really means."

Her body trembled beneath his touch, her breath quickening as she waited for him to continue. He smiled darkly before leaning in and nipping at her earlobe, eliciting a soft moan from deep within her throat. "

"I understand. But hey, it could be worse, right? At least we're both pretty cool people."

Kenzo grinned, looking around the room again. "So what do you think? Do you have any specific requests or anything?"

"Alright then, we'll get you settled in. You can put your stuff over there,"

he pointed to the dresser and nightstand, "and if you need anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask."

With that said, he stepped back and let Chifu explore their new room on their own. He watched as they carefully placed their belongings down, occasionally offering a helping hand when needed. The more time he spent with Chifu, the more at ease he felt around them. There was something about them...
