Doing this in a rush. At least my power stayed on in spite of all the snow so I am grateful and this is my last day off after being on sabbatical. Probably not prepared to go back to work.
I’m just going to jump back into the sci fi wip. Aneirin is the wealthy scientist and Kaleo, born on a prison planet and was kidnapped and converted to basically a living sex toy (to a level neither man is aware of when Aneirin is given him as a present he very much doesn’t want) Here’s way more than 5 sentences setting up the situation (Pherick is the friend who bought Kaleo)
“Pherick really dropped you into it this time.” Rhisart took a sip of his drink as he lounged back in his chair. He nearly toppled a piece of Mishani art off the end table trying to set his drink down. Aneirin knew he had a few too many pieces of art lying around. Drink settled, Rhisart stared at his brother as if expecting horns or a third eye to burst from Aneirin’s face.
“Yes, he did. I’ve been trying to find out more about the whole Toy scene. Everything I’ve come across says they’re volunteers, trying to better themselves.” Aneirin rubbed his tired eyes. He had spent most of the night working on his latest project, and worrying about what to do with Kaleo. He hadn’t expected Rhisart to show up quite this fast.
“Funny way to accomplish that.” His brother shrugged. “I think Mom still has some of Dad’s information on it. You know how he felt.”
“He’d be so disappointed in me right now, but what could I do? They told me if I didn’t accept him, they’d take him back as defective and recondition him. I don’t know exactly what it means, but it obviously scares the hell out of Kaleo. I can’t imagine what can scare a boy from the slums so much.” Aneirin quaffed some of his energy drink but it did little to fight off his lack of sleep.

Aneirin, his brother, and his father become all the more intriguing with this snippet! (heart) I’m not sure if Aneirin wants to know the answer to this question, though…(shivers)

Thanks. When Aneirin finds out the full truth there will be hell to pay
