You ought to be a bit pickier with your partners, though, if this is a common worry for you. Such a thing could very easily take a toll on your wellbeing - and, unfortunately for you, I'm invested in that now.
It’s not really a partner thing. I could also be attacked by strangers just walking down the street at home, which has happened. Having some form of protection in easy reach any time you leave your house is pretty normal in the City.
Ah, so it's paranoia, I see. Well - if it makes you feel any better, I've yet to be frisked, mugged, jumped, or otherwise despite sleeping outdoors. Most would at least pickpocket me by now, but not even that has occurred yet.
The people here are generally nice with a few exceptions. I know the paranoia isn’t warranted here, but it’s kept me alive this long and it’s pretty well ingrained.
Well, un-ingrain it; your mental health will suffer if you continue to live in fear of those around you in a world where you, yourself, concede that the people are nice.
You can remain armed, but that state of mind is an unhealthy one.
It’s something I’m already working on and making progress on. I don’t insist on wearing outfits with supernatural protection all the time anymore. It’s not going to be 100% fixed overnight and I don’t need you to tell me it’s not healthy.
Also, a bed would be more convenient if I’m going to fuck you. Just saying.
Alright... the apartment number is [insert a number here]. Take your time, of course. I'll get a pot of tea started. Or coffee, if you prefer.
[That's the proper way to greet anyone, no matter what for!
...
As for his "specifications": it's mostly just been made disabled-friendly on request. But it's also very gothic where he could manage it. No real decor yet beyond a few candelabras that he conned out of a shop nearby... but he did control a local Ellipsan into painting everything black for him.
He's determined to get everything for free, obviously.]
[Evangeline shows up in a timely manner, knocking politely on his door. To demonstrate how Not Concerned she is, she's wearing something cute rather than her EGO suit.]
[There's a weird tinge of pride in his voice, saying as much. And after closing the door behind her, he's gonna make his way over to pour a cup of coffee for her.
(And tea for himself. Yes, he brewed the entire pot of coffee for her.)]
... I have milk and sugar as well, if you would like it - but my magic sticks to metal from time to time, so I oughtn't add them for you. Spoons and all.
If you truly do want these effects, it would be better to wait until... later. Of course.
[Probably fine! He can't afford nice coffee, though. But he at least knows how to prep it properly. Meanwhile, he's going to go ahead and take a seat on his little, plain sofa that came with the apartment, inviting her to sit with him.]
... So... The reason you are here. I feel I should warn you that I have very little experience in this regard. I wouldn't call myself a virgin [- yes you would, shut up -] but my experience is... lacking, shall we say.
As I told you on that day, you stole my first kiss. That should tell you all you need to know.
Yes, I have no doubts that you will. I just wanted to warn you... the whole experience may not be to your tastes. Assuming we manage to get beyond friendly kisses, that is.

I will attempt not to take it personally.
[He's taking it 100% personally.]

And I have a bed. It is a bed of moss and it's very comfortable.

Why are you concerned about breaking my hips?
Are we automatically assuming I'll bottom?
['Cause, like, he will. But the assumption.]

no subject
No.
[But he WANTS to. :(]

It'll be more satisfying for both of us if I ride you, I promise.
no subject
... As long as you'll be kind to me like this. I've never allowed myself to be so... vulnerable with someone else.

In that case -
While I do not sleep there, nor do I trust it... I do own one of the apartments given to new arrivals.
It has even been redone to my specifications.
That should be sufficient, shouldn't it?

... You actually came. I didn't expect that -
And you are dressed as a shark!
[That's adorable??? It's so cute??? What the fuck???
(Please note: despite not expecting her to actually come over, he still very obviously made a pot of coffee for her.)]

[In she goes!]
I like your candelabras.

I kind of figured. It's alright, I'll take good care of you. Promise.
this icon came out softer than i intended
Assuming we manage to get beyond friendly kisses, that is.
My magic is... potent.
[To put it delicately.]
