[Eliot laughs, and leans over, giving Caleb a small, sweet kiss before reassuring him.] The opposite of a problem, actually. He and I met at that Christmas party I saw you at. After we fooled around, he was asking on the network about some things and it led to us talking. His contract is name-only, but he was looking for someone who would be more of a dom to him ... in the sense of giving him direction and reinforcement and fun, not what Duplicity necessarily thinks it is. So I told him I would. He was ... new to it all, and I didn't like him getting overwhelmed or taken advantage of. It reminded me a little too much of when I first got introduced to anything like a scene and was basically farm-fresh and clueless.

[Eliot sat back, leaning back on his hands.] But he's sweet, and I like him. And he asked me if I'd want to take him on as a Sub when his contract is up. I said I'd have to talk to you ... and then he was very adamant that I had to make sure you knew it was okay to say no, and that he wouldn't mind. [Eliot grins at Caleb.] I got the impression that you may have left an impression on him. He seems to like you. And I think you and I could take good care of him, and show him a good time. If you're interested. If not though, I know a couple other people who seem like they might be good options for him.
