"Meals can be really fun if you decide to leave him cuffed for them. Feeding your partner is very intimate - just don't try spaghetti, or... soup, or something like that. Bite size finger food's probably the best." Lucky Matt, he gets the wisdom of thirty-five years of minor mishaps. Daniel notes him rubbing ink across his cheek (adorable), but he won't say anything about it for the moment.
"Anyway, I'd probably advise changing his arm position every couple of hours and checking on his circulation regularly. Being cuffed puts you a little bit off-balance, as well, so being close in case of a trip or a fall is a good idea - he won't be able to catch himself and faces are breakable."
Matt gets a dreamy sort of expression on his face as Daniel talks about feeding a partner--one that may imply he's entertained a few thought experiments on the subject. Still, he dutifully notes the suggestions down (no spaghetti, no soup, finger food bite-size), taking a sip of whiskey between each one.
"Faces are breakable," he notes ruefully. A few more notes--and another sip from his glass. "Okay, well, I'm glad to know this idea wasn't totally unworkable."
A crooked smile.
"I'll ask Caleb if he's still into it, of course. But it was a pretty appealing image."
Daniel hides a smile in his drink at Matt's expression. It's very sweet, and he's glad that Matt can understand the possibilities in it.
"Oh, it's definitely very appealing in real life, too. Having someone trust you that much, depend on you that much... it feels good. Besides, Caleb just looks incredible when he's tied up." He would usually skip openly admiring someone else's partner, but since Caleb's the one who sent Matt to him for kink advice he feels like it's permissible.
Matt doesn't seem at all put off--because he knows Caleb and Daniel hook up, or possibly because he's cherishing the hope that Caleb really will serve as their rope model. He nods.
"He really does."
Another, smaller smile. "Trust. Yeah. That's what it is. I don't--usually ask people to trust me, and I'm not sure how trusting I am myself, but ... it's nice."
More than nice. It's beautiful. But Matt's slightly shy about saying so.
