Library

@[MA] Kyo Sungmin lets out a soft hum and a gentle smile as the received answer, "Well, you have all the time you need to figure out, there's no rush." he says more of a reassurance. At the mention of ownership he hums leaning back a moment. "Well, you gain ownership during the auction. There's nothing that needs to be done before hand, but some masters will meet with the slaves for a while getting to know their personalities and see if they'll be a good match. Others will wait till the day of and see one of their liking. Typically there seems to unspoken respect aspect of not choosing a slave that someone is already interested in but its nothing official, more of a courtesy if anything. All that's actually required is being able to pay the price. Once a slave is owned, they move in with their master or mistress as they are no longer the responsibility of the house. So some owners will mark their slaves such as through a collar or tattoo, sometimes both." he continues on as he things about what else there is to tell the male. Sungmin lets another smile show. "If you like, I do have a slave recommendation if you're interested."

@[OS] Sungmin "I may still have to think over those two questions," he admitted softly. He hadn't exactly thought about what he had wanted, just more of musing about who was all around and their personalities; he forgot to ask himself how it would affect him and how he would fit in to the mix. He had seen mostly everyone being bold in their wants and most going to their side because of it, but he didn't think he could be so bold in forcing so publicly. Being a bit more reserved in that aspect of his life, again he could probably blame that on the times he was raised in compared to the others within the house. He would have to question himself more later, for now, he should probably learn what he can. Just in case he needed to ask more of himself. "And how does the ownership work? What needs to be done before hand?"

@[MA] Kyo Sungmin his patient the other as he seem to take his time thinking through on what he wants to do. It seems he makes up his mind when he puts the book away and decides to join him. Sungmin is quiet as he speaks, and quiet for a moment after as he things through the answer he wants to give, as he does a scan of the male's appearance and dress once more. Taking another sip of his coffee, he sets the cup back onto the coaster. "Well, for a master and mistress, there are actually very few rules required of you to follow. Mainly two actually, the first is, do not take a slave unless you own them, and the other, if you want to be with a slave that does have an owner, get permission from the master." he states. "Other than that, you are free to do as you will. Sure some masters and slaves are a lot more bold in their approach, and I have seen them also being on the more reserved side. But the two questions, that I believe you should as yourself are, what do you want to get out of the house and what do you want out of a slave? If you have the answer to those two, you may find yourself... how should I say it, a little less lost."

@[OS] Sungmin Tapping the book in his hand a couple more times, before he returned it to it's rightful place on the shelf; taking a second to collect his nerves before walking over to join the other at the table. Crossing his legs once he sat down, trying to relax himself; if he tripped over his words than he wouldn't be able to get the answers he needed. Tilting his head to a side as he tried to organize his thoughts and questions, wanting to ask the main points first. "I'm not certain I am very familiar with the rules of the place or how things are supposed to go. I see that everyone else has made themselves comfortable, but it seems that I, myself am unable to do the same."
Giving a small shrug as he continued, "it might be due to age, they are younger and much more bold. I'm may be too comfortable in my way, keeping myself distant, but I don't think that would be very good here."

@[MA] Kyo Sungmin returned to his reading but would occasionally glance up at the other male. Honestly, if Sungmin was twenty years younger he may be propositioning him. He definitely had a bad guy phase, and the other was a wet dream of that. But now is not the case. Sungmin notices the other picking up a book, but given the expression on his face it seem there was something else on his mind. About to speak up, about it, the other beats him to it. Giving a small smile, he places a bookmark in the book and sets it on the side table. Motioning towards the chair next to him for the other to sit down as he grabs the coffee, surprisingly still warm. "Ask away". He says calmly.

@[OS] Sungmin Wondering through the halls, it was becoming his new pastime, no really caring where he was going. He had been through them enough to know where he was he could probably guess by smell alone. Kyo had been doing it since he arrived at the place, mostly avoiding others because he himself didn't truly understand how things worked. He understood the idea, but there were more rules that seemed more of unspoken; confusing him more and leaving him feeling a bit awkward around others. Others probably thought him weird or possibly a creep, considering he never introduced himself to them or stayed in a room very long when anyone entered. It was a wonder why he ever came here, if he was just going to keep his distance; how could he possibly be this shy at his age?
Shaking his head as he reached for the door to the library, entering in hopes of finding something to take his mind off the swirl of doubt and questions that lied within. Seeing the other sitting in the chair caught him off guard, he wasn't expecting anyone else to be in there as they were too busy doing other activities. Returning the nod back, he picked up a nearby book, leaning on the bookshelf it was on. Not bothering to open it, tapping it on his palm in thought, debating if he should voice his questions; recognizing whom the other was, but he didn't want to bother him if he was not having to work.
Just standing there and not saying a word would make things very awkward as well. Knowing himself he would begin to fidget when he felt uncomfortable which would make him be questioned about it. Sighing softly, he kept his voice soft but loud enough to be heard. "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about this place?"

@[MA] Kyo Sungmin was enjoying his day with a cup of coffee on the table and a book in hand. It was a quiet one for once, Namjoon was helping Yoongi with some of the finances to keep the house budget in chest, and his children were enjoying their time with their own families. Sungmin doesn't mind though as ever now and again he enjoys a day to himself. Normally he'll be in the slave wing helping them adjust to their new environment and being accustomed to the rules of the house. Even though it was no longer his job, the former house slave was someone who cannot just keep still despite his age, always one to keep busy. As the time passes, Sungmin was not expecting anyone to come into the library, often times one of the quietest places in the homes now a days due to the ever changing technology, but it seems he may be joined by someone. Looking up at the man who has walked in, Sungmin gives a smile and a nod in greeting to the newcomer.
