I think that's something people don't consider too much either. Sexual QPRs are so cool and that's what Soulfriends are to us. Kendrin is much different, that's a sexual and romantic relationship where Kendal's asexuality has made 1 exception for this pathetic twink of a mage. Love them.

So all that's to say that Erin is there for a reliably good time with someone Kendal is much more intimately involved with and Alinua is there for the rarer but much more intense QPR sex time.

Alinua would set aside the mission to tend to her friend and get a little something out of it herself. She's got crazy vine skills, she doesn't need ropes. She can grip Kendal's body all over with greater intensity than Erin can tie him. Ohhh and the textures she could conjure... Thorns, slime, etc

Meanwhile, Alinua is a bit more indignant but also less aware than Erin. Like, she only sees Kendal's need when Erin isn't around, when Kendal is more pent up, and when she's also very specifically in the mood to top someone. When she notices Kendal's need, everything has to be put on hold.

Erin approaches very gently, very sensitively, but also very smugly. He holds it over Kendal that he can realize Kendal's need before Kendal can and loves the opportunity to give Kendal the pleasure they're both craving. Plus, I bet Kendal is fun to ride when he's fully tied up like that!

I do think Erin and Alinua would approach Kendal very differently. For shipping reasons, Erin gets his hands on Kendal much more often. He's got ropes that he keeps in his bag just for Kendal, ropes that extend far and wide to cover his boyfriend from chest to ankles in just a few minutes.

Kendal is the ultimate good boy sub and we all know it. You just gotta get him into the situation first. He'll put up a little protest at first when you're trying to convince him of his own needs, but then he realizes how he feels and melts in your hands. Well, thinking mostly about Alinua and Erin.

Vulnerability his hard for Kendal :( He's gotta ask for things in code :( What is that code? I have no idea. But the people who know him best (Alinua for Soulfriends reasons and Erin for Kendrin/Mageblade reasons) would absolutely know what they are.

This is where we get to our Every Floofsquad Member Has One Weird Kink headcannons and Kendal's is mummification bondage. He wants to be totally wrapped up, totally helpless, totally under someone else's control. He would NEVER openly ask for it, but he's got some specific looks/phrases for it.

So Kendal's interest is loss of control. Whether he wants it or not, the best way to get him to relax and take care of himself is to remove his control from a situation. We see this clearly in the cannon, why not apply it to his sex life?

"Oh! But he's ace!" You say? Well ace people can have sexual interests and kinks and sex lives! And Kendal's sex life is both very ace and very active and well rounded! Haha!
