Doctor, doctor

Who: Trafalgar Law, Seel har Parasiel
What: Law's helping Seel quit smoking, and wants to learn more about Wraeththu, soooooo housecall!
Where: Seel's apartment
When: yeah now's good
Warnings: medical fallacies and abuse of powers, naked Wraeththu, frank sexy talk.

Law gave it enough time to let his particular and unique method of treatment to kick in, but knew he'd have to make good on his promise to check in sooner rather than later. He remembered the address, and picked up one of his journals along with some antiseptic on his way to the other spire. These days, with the water situation, one could never be too sure.

Knock, knock. "Seel-ya. It's Law."

Seel was ever so thankful that the house wasn't packed. Even if everyone knew he was trying to quit, he still didn't want it paraded around for everyone to see. He was quite prideful, even if pride was something he thought he had risen above. Chances are that whenever Seel had thought he'd risen above something, he was wrong. The har wasn't as self aware as he thought he was, and time and time again he was proven wrong. Wasn't that the definition of madness? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? It was something Seel had perfected on many different occasions.

He opened the door for his new doctor and ushered him inside. "I'd say welcome, but chances are it looks pretty similar to the other apartments in the city."

"No I can't say having a hole in the wall would go over with my companions. It is less of a problem here though." Or potentially more so, with the heat. "I could probably fix that hole for you. If I can scrounge up the right supplies." Seel offered. He could be nice. Sometimes.

Seel went over to the couch and sat down. "I wish I could say I'm fine but, I really want to smoke." And he'd probably been bitchier than normal, but who could tell the difference? "It's better than I remember it being though. So, no issues I guess. The sex thing is helpful."

Alcohol wasn't his current vice but it just as easily could be. Smoking was easier in a way though. Certainly it was just more satisfying to him. Seel let Law take his pulse, which was more respect than he would have ever given Phlaar. Then again Phlaar had tried to put him on total bed rest and you told him to have sex and stuck your fingers in his brain. No wonder he liked you better.

"Yeah. I'm hoping to remedy the food part, or at least some of it. But there's only so much we can do right now. Everything takes time." Seel took a breath, thankful that Law didn't trigger his temper the way some people did. It really wasn't hard.

"I would love another session. More than one if possible. It....was quite good."
dreamsallotted: (huh you think?)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Seel should have known that would have been the response but he was used to telling people what to do. So he scowled a little when he wasn't outright agreed with. In contrast with Law, Seel was used to small talk. He may not like it but he knew how to do it. Politics. Small talk was expected during dinners and banquets. You had to play nice to get what you wanted. Which he did. Occasionally.

He would have nodded but Law said not to twitch so instead he just slipped into a meditative state, just like before. He quite liked the intimate setting, although it was a shame they both still had their clothes not. He knew how Law felt about that. Oh well. For a moment he turned his awareness to the ability Law conjured up. It was still interesting, unlike anything he'd seen before. And stronger. Good to know what he was capable of.

Seel appreciated the sentiment Law, especially since he was sticking his fingers in Seel's brain. He'd always been told that Wraeththu were harder to get sick, Seel hadn't gotten ill since he was a twelve year old boy. But, it wasn't impossible. One of his in-law's had nearly died from a leg infection that turned septic. Seel didn't exactly want to test his endurance. Particularly in an area so necessary. A leg was one thing. Your brain was quite another.

He refocused and came out of the state upon hearing his doctor speak again. Good, he could move now, hands safely out of his head.

"And what reason would that be?" Seel would much prefer everything to be over with. But life didn't always come with magic bullets, and he really should be grateful he was suffering less than he had the first time. And while he might be grateful, he was still irritated and pissed off. Blame the cigarettes, or his sparkling personality.

"The sex is working. Not as good as a cigarette though. I've been trying to wean." He had some left, but he wanted to save them . Just in case. Clearly not 100% ready to quit now are we Seel?

Maybe that was why he smoked so damn much. His Wraeththu metabolism. Or maybe that was just a damn excuse like all his others and he was just a giant addict. "That makes sense. Some things are shorter or quicker in Wraeeththu than they are in normal humans. Like puberty. If my son hadn't gone through it myself I would never have believed it."

Seel shook his head, watching Law and finally he shrugged. "I'm happy to answer any questions. Explain anything. Or show you. I really don't care. You'll find most Wraeththu don't have the hang ups that humans do about their body or sexuality. Is there anything specific you had questions about or just in general?"

At least Lawwas intending to write stuff down. That was a huge step up from Seel's normal physician (or Seel's giant bias against him). Admitting he might not know something.

"I'm fairly typical of a first generation. I was human, like you know, and then I was incepted. But there are other hara, like our children or childrens children, who are pureborn." Seel held out an arm, and showed Law a long scar on his inner forearm. "Inception. Only first gen have this scar. It's part of the procedure."

Part of Seel didn't want to continue. Early on this secret was hidden and kept with their lives. But now? Seel was over thirty years older and times had changed.The humans that were around now knew. And of course, they weren't in their world. Besides, Law hadn't really shown any signs that he wanted to hurt Seel at all.

"It's basically a transfusion. The key is to balance the amount of Wraeththu blood you give so the change will take and not just kill the boy."

Seel paused, thinking. " Pure borns, second generation, etc, are a little different. When I roon Swift--he's my....well, I guess we're married. Anyway, he feels different than the other first gen I've rooned. Oh, there are genetic differences that vary based on tribe. Honestly, I'm not sure how it happened so quickly and I'm sure that's something the specialists in Immanion are happily studying. I'm...."

Seel paused, not entirely sure he wanted to go on and admit what tribe he was from, and the variations within. But, he probably had too.

Seel sighed. It had been over fourty five years. He needed to get over it. He wasn't sure he could, but he needed too. "My original tribe is Uigenna. They're....a lot more violent, chaotic, aggressive." That was the understatement of the year, but Seel didn't exactly want to paint Law a picture.

"And yes, roon is our word for sex. Wraeththu don't typically have the same taboos as humans do with regard to sex. We need it to survive. "

He tried to take in all of Law's questions, trying to piece together what to say. "In general? The world was dying. I hated the society I lived in and I wanted out. That and my mother caught me having sex with Cal and called the cops. I didn't want to live in a society where love was outlawed." What Seel didn't add was that he and Cal were twelve and thirteen respectively, but it was over fourty years ago. To him, ancient history.

"What did I gain? I didn't realize it at the time. I just wanted out. But, I used to be a human boy. Now? I'm the perfect unification of male and female. I've birthed a child. I don't get sick. And I certainly don't look my age. I also gained some mental abilities like telepathy or telekinesis. I didn't know what I was getting into. But I wouldn't change a thing. But I know there are other Wraeththu out there who do not feel the same. They couldn't handle it. It messes with you."

"No, there was no one holding great power out to me. I didn't even fully realize what I was getting into. I knew Wraeththu were different. I just didn't realize how different until I was there and I didn't have a choice anymore." Was it strange that it was easier to talk to you Law, than Sweets? Seel liked your attitude better. Your no nonsense logic. It made talking about what happened a little easier, but no less traumatic.

Seel smirked and arched an eyebrow at him. Good, he was wondering when they'd get to the show and tell part. "Yes. Wraeththu exist in a binary world, where we are alone are not. Except for maybe snails." The things he remembered from fourth grade science class....He was a freaking snail. Or a fish, or whatever other weird animals were a little similar.

He stood up, gracefully, and started removing his clothing. Seel was thin, almost too small, with wiry muscle offset by feminine curves. His hips were smaller than a typical human woman's, but neither were his shape traditionally male either. And between his legs was genitalia that looked decidedly inhuman. Or humanoid, but modified, with something like petals and feathers instead of smooth skin.

"Where do you want me?"

Seel honestly didn't care if he stared at all. "Go ahead. I don't expect you to retain all this from memory." Seel sat on the floor, legs splayed open, arms propping himself up at an angle. " Look, touch, it doesn't matter to me."

He peaked at the notes Law was making, the bits of writing he vaguely remembered from childhood but couldn't make any sense of and sketches of things that reminded him of biology class.

"Huh. Is that what my muscles look like on the inside?"

It was weird. He had absolutely no idea what his body was like. Seel has no idea how conception worked besides the vague notions when he went through it, or what a normal birth was like, although from what he gathered twenty minutes and nearly giving birth on the stairs was not ordinary.

"Great. Another thing I have in common with fish. Wraeththu give birth to pearls. It's like a.....leathery sac. Needs to be incubated for a week or two after until hatching." He was a fish. Or a snail or an eel.

Seel wasn't sure if he should take offense to that. It was a stupid thing to take offense too, his own doctor pointing out that his muscle fibers aren't that different than humans. But it was something he damn prided himself on, being better. But, it made sense. He'd been human once after all. And Orien would always tell the new recruits that things were just improved upon, not changed outright. Still, he didn't like it. It clashed with his fragile world view.

Still, he responded to the teasing. "Fishmen. I never got into mermaids when I was young." Granted, he became Wraeththu at a traumatic twelve and hadn't really had the chance to explore much 'mermaid' stuff, but still. " I guess it could be worse. We have improved things. Maybe people were right." That was as close of an agreement as you were going to get, Law. Seel's sin was pride.

"Well, yeah. I don't think they're real, but the idea was popular." He almost said 'humans will believe anything' but stopped himself, realizing that the human in front of him would probably find that offensive. At least his diplomatic sense was starting to kick in again. At least when he wanted it too.

"Just be careful you humans don't get carried away. Science and improvement is one thing, just make sure it's all for the right reasons." He was sure that was what happened to his own worlds humans. They had wanted more. Unfortunately it was for bad reasons.

"I guess it depends on the two involved. They probably talk about it and decide." Seel paused as this got more personal that Law probably expected.

"I was ordered to conceive. My marriage was arranged, and we were both told what our roles were going to be. It's different for most other hara. Maybe one goes first, and then the next time around, they switch. Or maybe one har doesn't particularly care for their more female aspect. Not all Wraeththu are equally male and female, even if everything 'works'. Some swing more or less toward one side or another, like humans did. It's a spectrum."

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-16 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Seel thought lineage factor would actually be fairly interesting, but only with Wraeththu. He had no interest in what humans could possibly do with it, and as far as he was concerned, Wraeththu could do it better. No bias there at all.

"It's alright. I'm happy with the way things worked out. I love him." It still felt weird to admit. Love. That thing he was supposed to be above. He wasn't. " I admit I wasn't happy in the beginning. Being sold like chattel or moved like a chess pawn doesn't feel good."

Seel leaned back, remembering Swift. Beautiful, lovely, so much better than him. "What do you want to know?"

"I broke a vase when I was told." Seel smiled at the memory of breaking that priceless vase full of peacock feathers. "I thought I was getting something I wasn't. This was the price. Everything worked out well, although I didn't see it at the time. I can't say I liked the methods of getting here though." Or having his mind messed with so he'd fall in love with Swift and vice versa, but such was his life.

Seel leaned over pointing out parts. "That's an ouana-lim. It's basically a modified penis, although much improved. I remember that much. Beyond that's the soume-lam." Seel tilted his pelvis, moving his legs a little. " The testicles draw up during aruna--sex, and during pearl birth......I can't believe I'm explaining this to someone who has never seen this before."
dreamsallotted: (hands up)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-16 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
"There's a ....I don't know exactly what it is. An internal part to the ouana-lim. It snakes out during aruna." And since they were talking about it, Seel concentrated. It wasn't exactly easy considering he wasn't in the mood, but Law was still cute so he concentrated on that, and all his male organs retracted, leaving him almost completely female looking.

"Since you were talking about it. I still don't suppose you want to do me?" Seemed a terrible thing to waste.
dreamsallotted: (stare)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-16 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Keeps things from getting squashed or bumped during aruna--sex. Or during pearl birth. It's not like I can do this just walking around though for kicks." Actually, Seel supposed he could, but it would be weird. Despite the position he was currently in, Seel wasn't the least bit embarrassed. Perhaps that was one of the differences between humans and Wraeththu. Seel wasn't one to turn down an offer of intimacies. Humans came up with all sorts of reasons.

"Wraeththu need aruna to survive, to keep healthy. Sticking to one person is dangerous. Besides, why do it? It's just sex. It's like eating. Would you say since you're married you can only eat with one person? Wraeththu do not share many of humanities taboos."

Seel looked down at himself. "No I don't suppose you would enjoy that at all. There was a har here who was intimate with a human for months. As far as I know his dick never got burned off. But I never thought to ask either. The other way around is dangerous. But you and me?.......I'm honestly not sure. And come to think of it I certainly don't want to hurt you."

On the other hand he really wanted you to bone him, Law. Even if he wouldn't get much out of it. And Seel wasn't used to being turned down. He was pretty, and he had political power. There were those back home who would do him for that alone.

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-17 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Well I'll just have to see if I can cure you of those hang ups." He smiled and Law tried to not stare directly between his legs, considering half the hara in the Immanion, city and palace included, had seen Seel naked. But those were Law's issues. Ones Seel was going to try to break him of, bit by bit.

"Good. Aruna, or sex in your case, should be a healthy part of life. As a doctor I would think you'd agree. Maybe humans would be more understanding of each other if they screwed more." There was some sound logic.

Seel didn't quite care about getting off. That was part of the fun, but really, sex was a way of communication. You go to know another person, human or hara, so intimately through it. Things they never would reveal by just talking. Besides, he'd been rooning Cal so often, he needed another flavor.

"Bedroom?" Probably a good idea consider Seel currently had roommates. Not that Seel would care if they came in to find him screwing a guest on the table.
dreamsallotted: (smile)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-17 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Good. Very Wraeththu. There's hope for you yet." No biases there, not at all. Seel picked up his clothing before leading Law to his bedroom. No need for his companions to come home and find his clothing strewn all over the living room. Although it probably wouldn't take them very long to figure out why. It was Seel after all.

"Let's go." Seel smiled. This would be fun.
dreamsallotted: (flirty)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-17 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Seel could work with that. He liked you the way you were, and you were much to old to safely incept without dying or completely breaking your mind. Too many first generation Wraeththu were crazy enough. Except Seel of course. He was perfectly mentally sound, ignore those rumors.

He turned to eye Law's tattoos. They were nice. Seel quite liked decoration, although parts of his markings reminded him a little the Uigenna tribe, which he firmly pushed out of his mind. No need to ruin the mood. His eyes traced his muscles, not that different from a har, but he obviously lacked the subtle femininity. He could work with that. It'd been fourty years since he'd been with a man, although really, at thirteen 'man' was pushing it. Still it felt good to be with someone new. This was how it was supposed to be, wasn't it? There weren't enough Wraeththu in Hadriel for it it be truly fun. The newness was gone.

His eyes dipped lower, smiling. Seel could work with that, almost shuddering with anticipation, thinking about what Law would feel like. Delicious.
