Oddly, Ashley's submission doesn't seem particularly odd to Ereuvir, mostly because while Ashley does, in his own way, have the Lord of the Underworld wound around his fingers, it's in a very different way from the way Arkady might be and it has very little to do with the bedroom, beyond that he does enjoy Ashley's honesty and he has managed to pull more honesty from him in the bedroom than anywhere else.

Ereuvir falls easily for the moment into a more helpful role himself, neither particularly servile or puppetmastering, simply orchestrating, assisting. He knows he's not the main event here, and it's not offensive to him, but he's also not shying away from participating. He works Arkady's clothing off so that he can concentrate on Ashley's, and although he's certainly not shying away from touching either one of them, he touches to please his own sensibilities, not specifically to please either one of them, at least for the moment.

This mostly leaves him sliding his hands along Arkady's more pronounced ribs with something approaching a quiet fascination.
