"That's understandable," I respond, nodding to show her that her feelings are valid. "It's a big step, especially when you're navigating multiple partners. It might help to start slowly, perhaps in a more private setting or with one of us at a time. What do you think?" 
She contemplates it for a moment, her expression shifting from uncertainty to intrigue. "Yeah, I could see that working" 
Nodding I glance back at the sheet. There's no need for me to note any of this down as I know the others are watching through the security feed in the room next door. Henley, no doubt will be taking all this down for future reference. 
"What about the next item? How do you feel about bondage?" I ask shifting the conversation. 
"Bondage?" she repeats, a slight frown creasing her brow, it's one of her green limits but from the way she was when she was highlighting everything it was evident even through the feed that she wasn't really comprehending any of it. "I've liked the idea of it, but it also seems... restrictive. How would I know that I'm safe?" 
"Safety is the priority" I assure her. "Bondage is about trust and surrender, but it's only effective if everyone feels secure. If you're not comfortable with it, then it's off the table. We can always revisit it later if you change your mind. Likewise, if you decide it's something you want to explore but then later change your mind, we can do that. What's important to remember here is that you communicating how you feel is essential with us at all times." 
"And if we try it and I don't like it, how do we stop?" she asks, and I'm relieved she's actually taking this seriously now. 
"That is where your safe word comes in, we'll discuss one that you want to use and as soon as you say it the scene stops. We'll also have a gesture you can use." I explain and she nods along the whole time, the tension seeming to leave her shoulders. 
"Even if it's a green limit?" she now asks. 
Nodding, I offer her a reassuring smile, "Anytime you feel uncomfortable, out of your depth or just not happy with the situation you use your safe word, and it all stops. What we do expect though is for you to communicate with us after, so we know how you feel and why"
"Okay, I like the sound of that, it makes me feel a lot safer" she says, her expression softening as she processes the information. 
I nod, encouraged by her openness. "Good. The essence of bondage and any form of BDSM is rooted in mutual consent and respect. It's not just about the physical restraints, it's about the emotional connection and understanding between partners. Trust is paramount."
She leans in slightly, her curiosity piqued. "So, if I were to say I wanted to try it, what would that look like? How would we start?"
"Great question," I reply. "If you decide to explore bondage, we would start slowly. We could begin with something simple, like using a blindfold or gentle restraints that aren't constrictive. The idea is to make you feel comfortable and to build up to more complex scenarios as you gain confidence. It's all about pacing."
"But how do I communicate that I'm ready to try more if I feel okay with it?" she asks, her brow furrowing slightly in thought.
"That's where ongoing communication comes in," I say. "Before we begin any scene, we would establish clear boundaries and limits together. You can express your comfort levels, and we can discuss what you're curious about. During the experience, if you feel good, you can let us know by giving positive feedback or simply saying you're enjoying it. If something feels off, you would use your safe word or gesture, and we would stop immediately."
