"Some other type of jewelry? Like a charm to put on the bangles? I have my boss's ring on this collar." He smiles and reaches to touch it, pulling it up, which pulls the chain and tightens the collar about his neck nice and snug.
He listens, and is trying to follow, but it's getting increasingly difficult with the amount of sake he's put away. His cup is empty again, but it seems that it's been doing it's job well.
"Commoner side?" Gokudera looks down at the ring, drops it, and the collar loosens. "Oh no... It won't bother Takeshi at all. My first owner had his device connected to my pet ring, so he could check on me if he wanted. But this one... my lover was also my owner by that world's standards... he just wanted me to be able to stay with him... and if I had this on, then no other Elite could touch me. It'd be like stealing or damaging his property. There were a lot of Elites... not so much pressure on them. It was nice while it lasted..." And now his gaze is a bit dreamy, thinking about all the time he got to spend one-on-one with Takeshi. A lavish floor to themselves, and time with the Tenth. So what if Gokudera was a mongrel in public? He got to stay close to his family.
"Demons?" He was busy day-dreaming, mentally reliving the good in that awful world. "You mean people who would harm me with this?" His collar, he means.
"Elites have darker hair. Black, blue, purple, green, or brown... And so far on this world, most people don't recognize it as anything other than an odd fashion accessory. Boss hasn't even noticed it does anything." Even though it literally burned into Gokudera's neck right in front of him. "The Tenth has a lot to manage so he shouldn't have to worry about me like that..."
