Mmm good point now that i think about it...
Courtney can be partially excused with "i didnt know that existed" cause it hasnt been that long since she got into this stuff
But she does have a book that supposedly covers it all ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Now Richard is a different case, as hes been into this for so long and is much more knowledgeable... he should have taught it to her (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
The only excuse for him tho is that hes never done it with someone else before and maybe he lacks the sense of urgency that a safeword holds and just does aftercare by himself after like he is used to do? #-.-)
Haha sorry! I like analyzing stuff! Tho I doubt that any of the things i said are actually cannon, at least we can pretend they make sense... ( ̄∇ ̄")
I have been thinking about this for sooo long. Richard probably knows about the safe word rule and after care. Idk if the book she read has it but in bdsm safe word literally NUMBER 1 RULE u should know. If they don’t then the author rlly fucked up the kink. If richard know and didn’t tell courtney cuz he scared she will get uncomfortable and use it thennnnnn…fucking hell. Idk what to say abt that. ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Don’t they have like…idk man…A FUCKING SAFE WORD? HELLO? THE LACK OF SAFE WORD AND AFTERCARE IS- UGHH
