Heh.
Of course.
Rael didn't hesitate for even a brief moment before pressing "Yes."
Then, he clenched his butt cheeks and prepared for the pain to come.
But it didn't come.
Instead, he felt a rather soothing sensation pass through his mind.
Although he wasn't sure what was happening at first, he quickly picked up on it.
Gaia. Stop it. Now.

[I do not feel pain, Rael. Don't worry about me,] she replied.
But he refused.
Stop the bullshit and don't direct the pain to yourself.
Noticing his dead serious tone, Gaia froze for a moment.
She really didn't want to give him the pain back.
Yet she felt like she didn't have much of a choice, as she was the one at fault here.
