He's so busy indulging Ramen with belly rubs (to which, Nisha happily inched forwards to nudge Genji's hand with his nose) that Genji's words genuinely make him give pause, dark skin turning just a bit rosy. Ah. That.
That was new. Besides the harem back home, he didn't know many (any) who would willingly lay with him - king he may be, but he wasn't exactly beloved. Not until recently, and... well... "My being like this doesn't... deter you?" he hesitated. Genji was not afflicted as he was; he could move about, despite his past injuries. Belias still found it difficult, and really, it was a wonder he was able to move himself at all, or so the healers had said.
Genji reaches under Nisha's head to give him his own chin scratches, watching Belias out of the corner of his eye as he flushes red. The question he asks does not surprise Genji, but Genji looks at him with a genuine smile.
"It does not. It is an offer for whatever you are comfortable with. If you would like to sit and kiss for hours, that is something we could do. If you wanted to do more, there is nothing deterring me."
He gives a sheepish smile. "I may not know the best way to go about it, but that is what experimenting is for?"
"Kissing you for hours sounds divine," Belias said, before he could even stop himself - quiet and wistful. Nisha, listening, let out a soft whine and covered his muzzle with a paw.
Realizing what he said, he paused, and then covered his face with a hand... and laughed. At the very least, Belias knew how to laugh at himself. "My apologies. Being a king dramatically reduces the pool of available partners. My harem is one thing - this is quite another. Thank you. I would be most honored to 'experiment' with you, be it innocent or... something else."
Genji leans in a little, resting his other hand on his chin. He laughs when Belias does as well, but he doesn't seem to be laughing at him at least.
"A harem? My younger self would be quite envious," he admits freely. "But, the fun part of this place is that we can do whatever you would like. I think kissing for hours is a lovely start; we could see where it takes us beyond that."
Perhaps, after the festival - he had a feeling whisking Belias off right now wouldn't go over quite so nicely.
"Oh, not too envious, I would hope," he shook his head with an affectionate smile. "I am their employer and we don't always agree, nor do they always approve of my rule. It can be messy. I much would like to experience the world beyond that - so let's make it a date, shall we? I would like to try kissing you for a good time, once I'm more settled."
Especially since he wanted to be more adept at exploring the levels. If he was going to do any of that, he wanted a nice place to do it in.
Genji knows that now a harem wouldn't quite be as attractive as it sounds - so he simply nods, but grins when Belias suggests a date.
"I would be happy to make it a date with you in the future," he tells him. Ramen gives a little chuckle that somehow indicates she expected this result all along.
"In the meantime, shall we plant some trees? I think we will be able to make sure they grow strong."
"Yes, please." He gave Ramen a little rub on her head, looking at her with a skeptical smile - what was this 'all as planned' aura he was getting from her...? He could hear Nisha give a pleased woof as well as he relaxed and started to wonder if these little pets of theirs had orchestrated this entire thing.
Ah, no. That was impossible. "I could certainly use a bit of relaxation after the hectic few days I've had. Thank you."
