Hmm. Well, I do have magical healing. And if I do the thing where I'm less alive I don't need air, so if I panicked I'd have an easy out. A safety catch. Does that help?
Also you should definitely not let me come. [There's a twist of mischief to his voice, a little show that all the good and joyful parts of him are still in there.]
I...that's a good question, actually. Not like, overly soft? I think that would just make it hard to forget. Hard to say. Maybe, can you tell me more what harsh or soft would look like?
I mean, I can tailor either to what you'd need. [He's done this for years, after all.]
Harsh would be... telling you you deserve the pain, telling you things like shut up and take it, calling you names, shoving you around, any or all of that - take or leave what you want.
Soft would be more encouraging, telling you you're good, you're taking it well, I'm proud of you praising you, kissing you... again, whatever you need.
[He's quiet for a minute as he tries to process both of those.]
I honestly have no idea. Is there a middle option? Like...not really telling me I'm good or bad so much as like...we're here and we're doing this and we're gonna see it through? Maybe a touch on the soft side in the sense of like, telling me I can handle it if I get overwhelmed but not going overly into the affection?
I think what I'm getting at is less a force for a certain emotion and more a force for grounding. Does that make sense?
The being really harsh thing sounds kind of intriguing, so maybe stick a pin in that for later? I don't think anyone's ever really done that to me before in like...a good way. I'm just not sure it's good right now.

And what sort of attitude do you want this to have? Harsh or soft?

We can definitely make that work.

Whenever you'd like, I don't have anything on my schedule for tonight or the next few days.

Tonight then, maybe?
