Exploration

The clubhouse, (which was really only a depression within a rock wall with some thick vegetation growing around it), was where they were both at their most comfortable and where things could be as they wanted. Things could be controlled in there, unlike the outside world where things were changing.

Or, at least, they were changing for Proteus. The prince was maturing and the kingdom was celebrating that. It was really just an excuse for ale was what Sinbad said about that with a roll of his eyes.

Ale, a pile of new responsibilities being heaped upon his shoulders and women making flirtatious gestures his way. That was what Proteus knew it to be.

Things changed in the clubhouse as well. Adrenaline kept spilling over from playful fights and curiosity got the better of them. Touches were quick and awkwardly shy at first. Then their hands shook and they couldn't quite look each other in the eye as they felt their faces burn. Then Sinbad pushed his hand between Proteus' legs and managed to keep it there. His hand still shook and his face still burned but he managed to keep Proteus' gaze until the prince gasped sharply and pushed his face into Sinbad's shoulder.

Explorations allowed them to learn what worked and what didn't, what made the other buck and shout and where the most sensitive places were. It was a change which was unsteady for a while. But it was one they were both willing to go with.
