closeyourfist: (grudging)

Relief in its own way. He didn't say it but the message was apparently heard loud and clear. The Dark Urge was close to at least his first, so he didn't expect the aim was to prolong anything at this point. So to have his dignity spared one way, he sacrifices another.

Gortash is earnest in returning to his task, the moan that issues around the bhaalspawn's mass is thankful.

Still he knows they are being watched, and whatever position he has been placed in, regardless of the ritual that bound him on the altar, he still has the feeling of being an intruder. You don't spend all that time cautioned to never set foot in the temple of Bhaal or interfere with their doings and just shrug that off overnight.

And now he belongs to no temple of his own anymore, and to no one, not even himself, save the Dark Urge. And these devotions in their own way are new and profane in a way he would have to grow accustomed to -- and that isn't even just the sexual aspect there. Even if Bane had ever required something similar of him it would not have been for other aspirants to see. From how he expected him to dress and socialize, what to pursue, before all this, Enver would have described as directives as jealous.

It leaves no context for where he's wound up. Or even a certainty how to proceed. But for all of the humiliation he feels, perhaps he holds to that a little. That jealousy.

He just doesn't know what to do with it yet but redouble without making it appear as though he is rushing.
