You grin; and approach the desk; you like the look of the guy and although you get the sense he might not naturally be a top; you had a feeling you might get him to consider it. You were feeling confident anyway, "I might be... what kind of job are you offering?" You say in your most seductive tones. The young man grins; it would appear he was catching the hint.
"Oh I've been looking for an apprentice; might you be interested?"
"An apprentice with clockwork?" You ask a little curious despite yourself.
"Well... not quite; more like an apprentice with my personal experiments."
"Experiments?"
"Ah yes; like this for example." He pulls from the pockets of his half-apron which you couldn't see before from your angle; but now much closer you can see it now hanging off his belt. His vest had pockets on it too; you notice and note that appears to be a heavy theme in all that the young man is wearing; there are many many pockets. What he has pulled out is a thin small veil containing some blue formula. "This is the first of the magical bondage arts; initial contact."
"Magical Bondage Arts?"
"Yes of my own invention."
"There isn't any such thing," you say with considerable skepticism. The boy simply smiles and uncorks the veil; the smell it gives off you find immediately delightful; and alluring. You can't help yourself from taking a deep breath in as you inhale as much of the scent as you can.
