Hi, welcome back to Behind the Powder Podcast. I am Paulson Victoria. And this is part two of the Q ⁇ As. So the next question. What's the longest session you've done with a stop? Okay, so uh so we're not including like chastity cages or like any um I mean I mean I've talked to somebody for like six months on and off with um controlling their chastity device and hook key holding. Um so there's that, but in person five days. Yeah. Um I will actually be beating that in April when I go away for a week with a client. Uh yeah, and he's sub, so I'm very, very excited. I believe we are going to Amsterdam. I'm so excited. So yeah, um five days, but soon hopefully a week. Um yeah, if you me personally, if you ever want to um ask me to come on holiday with you or go down to London or like anywhere, anywhere. As long as I'm paid. I will I will come with you, absolutely. Um do you have any latex outfits or clothes that you will casually wear? Oh, right. So if you know me personally, I don't really do like designer clothes or anything like that. Um, I mean I have like Selky, my Selkie dresses. I adore that brand. It's like fairy tale. Oh, it's beautiful. Um, but even then I will buy it like second hand. Um so it's it's still quite a bit of money, so like say like a hundred quid for a skirt or a dress. And latex is roundabouts that price for like one item. I latex is so fragile, and I love latex, I really do, but it is very, very fragile, and I'd feel really bad if I um broke a bit because it's not an easy fix, so I don't wear it casually. I would love to. Love to. I think it would be shock and awe for a few people. I know that like I've done photo shoots outside and I've had different reactions to my photo shoots. I was dressed up in a like sort of like candy cane latex outfit, uh dress, latex stockings, latex arm sleeves. Um, it was adorable. It was so PG, it couldn't have been more PG. And I had this old man walk past and he was like, Oh, you're scaring the children. I was like, what? No, the children are looking and like in awe, and I'm like, hi, and all that stuff. Like so fucking rude, like this is what I mean. Like, mm-mm, mm-mm. And sometimes depend like yeah, I mean you can wear like latex leggings and stuff. There will always be like the odd comment. If I did not be so clumsy um and so afraid of ripping latex, then I would probably wear it casually, yes. But it does make me very nervous when I wear it out. Are scat sessions available and how to apply and how much do they cost? Um, I do do scat sessions. If it comes out of you, you can make money. That's how I see it. The well you you can the going rate um is different wherever I tour, but I would probably say look at my links, figure out what I'm charging currently. Um, and right now scat is plus a hundred on top of what my usual rate is, because it does vary what exactly you want and when you want it. Um, yeah, and with Scat you can also um feed me what you want me to eat in a good healthy way, like if you want me to like have sweet corn or popcorn, or I I've done um glitter before, edible glitter. That was great, that was wonderful, or like beetroot. Um but yeah, if you want to like order me a Chinese or a curry uh a night before or a few nights before, that is absolutely a-okay. We can do that. Um I very it is quite fun. I love how customizable my services are. Um the next one is what is the worst thing you've done to a slave? Now, the worst thing I mean people pe it depends what you think is the worst, basically. The one thing which I found very memorable and I actually really enjoyed. Um I know that the first part of this is gonna be like controversial, but I did work during COVID and needed to, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to survive uh and I would be in financial debt basically, and even worse. So yeah, I worked during COVID, and during COVID we wore masks, didn't we? So I I've done the whole stinging nettles on the bollocks and on the asshole. Oof, that's a good one that because it gets all sweaty. Um and of course I've done like the leather strap on the hands. Um I've made people piss themselves. I I find that fun. But this one, I made a guy cum in his mask, and I made him wear it all the way home on the train. And he had to keep giving me updates that he was wearing it, and then before he left I smushed all his cum in his face, in his mask. That will forever be in my brain. The worst thing I've done to a slave. I don't really do blackmail because I don't really agree with putting people who didn't consent into the situation, but there has been clients who have wanted me to blackmail them and whatnot, which that's that's an episode in itself because that never goes the way you want. Um that situation is just all the client basically. Um but yeah, I've done I've I've done a few bad things. The subs, the worst. Um I've done CNC. That that was fun, leaving them in a puddle of their own mess. But yeah, I like the COVID mask one because it was very unexpected, and I like to think of things like on the spot. I don't really plan my sessions because things can happen and things can change in an instant. So, yeah, I think that's probably that's it. Like there's a whole lot more, but what would I actually categorize as like worst? Because everything to me, it's not necessarily quote unquote normal, but it's not like nothing shocks me anymore, and nothing is like uh unexpected, or like wow, yeah. Um just trying to look at the toys which I've got. Um I'm like, yeah, I don't know about West. Eating her own shit, I would say. Yeah. How long does it take to stretch a tight hole for fisting in a session? Everybody's different, everybody is absolutely different, and it really does depend on your ass and how it's feeling that day. Sometimes you might not want to do it. Uh your asshole might just be like, nope, I don't wanna, and it won't want to open up and things, and that's something that can't be helped. Um, sometimes your stomach might be acting up, sometimes like IBS, sometimes uh Crohn's. Um I had a client which I do believe had Crohn's, and it all depends. It really all depends on what you um want like your body, yeah. Um yeah, it really does just depend about your body and how your body reacts. I've had clients who supposedly um haven't had pegging done and I've been able to fist them within the first session. I would suggest booking a long session so we can work up, but at the end of the day, your ass might get tired after half an hour, 15 minutes, and it does take time because I don't necessarily want to ruin the experience of shoving a big cock in there when it's not gonna fit and it might rip you and it might give you discomfort. And if I do put my fist in, um it might hurt, and we don't want that, we really don't want that, we don't want that at all. Yeah, because I've had sessions where like talking, communication is very much needed. Yeah, when it's not there, then the session doesn't go as smoothly, and yeah, but once my fist is in you, you might be like, ah, and you might not like it. Um, so there's a lot in to take into consideration because when you fist a person, I find that the hardest part is to get past the knuckles as well. There is no real way of making sure it's like in a previous episode we discussed like enemas and prepping for pegging. At some point, you might shit yourself. Uh well, my fist is in you, or my dick is in you, or my fingers, and that might kill the mood. So anything can happen, and yeah, be prepared for anything and everything, and you might feel different on that day, you might not feel submissive. So there is a lot of components that contribute to having a good session and a good time and being able to do a certain thing, but it's not impossible to get fisted during the first session. It might be difficult, but it all depends on other things. Ooh, uh leather or latex clothing. Latex. Latex. I have a leather dress, which I love. No, actually I don't. I used to. Like I do like leather, but I I'm too in love with latex. I do need to buy some leather though. Wink wink. Um just saying. Um yeah, I I love latex. If I would I would be more inclined to wear leather outside because if it rips and whatnot, it's I wouldn't say a bit a a lot harder. Um, whereas with latex it's easier. So I'd casually wear leather if I had leather. And I would just use latex for work mainly. But yeah, if I was like a millionaire and like I had like a lot of lot of actual like spare income, then yeah, I would probably wear latex out and about. Um and I'd probably have some leather too. But yeah, I adore latex right now. Next question is what's your favorite way to humiliate a man? Uh so favorite way to humiliate a man would d depend again, humiliation is a very wide thing to talk about. Um and there's so many different uh types of um humiliation. But in general, I do love humiliating a man talking about how women are just so much fucking better and how there'd be nothing w they men would be nothing without women. When it comes to straight males, yeah, they are nothing when women are out of the equation. What they're gonna do, it's gonna be so sad for them that they don't have a woman to help them the majority of the time, and to love them and to be around them and to shag and to have some sort of connection, whether that be the woman with domestic servitude or a sexual part, or just being there as a friend. Women are much more better at adapting and realizing and functioning. I mean, there's many examples right now of that. Usually my favorite way to humiliate a man is to talk about how women are much, much fucking better and they are pitiful and pathetic if they don't have a woman in their life in some way, even if they're paying for it. And again, it comes down to gendered and sexual orientation of a specific type of man. Um yeah, so that that's one of my favorite ways to humiliate. Um, I don't really provide cissification anymore. Um, I am very much at a standstill with how they actually view women if they want to dress up as a woman and be humiliated being a woman, especially if it's for sexual acts. Um, I need to figure that part of myself out if I do agree with that, um and if I do or I don't. Um, because I've been doing it for so many years and yeah. I don't know how I feel when I'm pegging a man who wants to be called a whore and it has all these tones with it. So I don't offer that anymore. Um I don't really cater to it unless we have a talk and you are doing it in a respectful way, in some sense, and we have that understanding of we have mutually agreed to do this. Favorite way to humiliate somebody, what else? Well, humiliate a man. I mean I do like to get my friends in on this on it, and I do like exposing them to it because I find it hilarious, and they do too, they do too. Um and obviously my friends would get paid as well. So yeah, um, I think my ultimate way to humiliate a man is just talk about how powerful women are because they literally crumble. Telling a man that they have to pay for a woman. I very much enjoy that. And I know it's not everybody's kink getting told reality, but I I find that very fun when it is reality and it's like this is why it's happening. Your wife doesn't want to fuck you because you're a piece of shit. And things like that. Um yeah, I find it very mind fucky. Have you ever been asked to do something so outrageous during a session that you refused? If so, what was it? Um See this is hard because they try and block out things that have happened during sessions. And probably me being submissive. I don't submit during sessions. I will be like neutral and give you a lovely like girlfriend experience or a bratty dom but I will not be submissive to you. You cannot have your hand around my neck, you cannot uh spit on me or anything like that. And this has all happened mid-session because a man thinks he can pay for me, and that gives him the right to do whatever he wants with my body, which is not right at all. Um I remember having a session with somebody who I'd fisted moments before, and they were all dressed up, this uh feminized, and we came from that session um into a girlfriend, no, not girlfriend, yeah, yeah, sort of girlfriend one, uh an escort-esque type at the end. Um you know, like some people want to shag me and that's fine. And one thing led to another, and I believe he started calling me a slut, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. That is not no. Um, that is not what goes on. Um, so I don't really like there hasn't been any wild asks. I don't know if that's because I'm in Scotland and not like Belgium or Romania, like somewhere where like usually medical stuff is involved. Um so like yeah, yeah, because uh like uh Berlin and some other places, um they one of their main kinks is like medical play. So yeah, I don't really think I've done anything that crazy. Some clients have asked to do Ain't All on Me, and I've gone no unless you got a fat lump in that wallet of yours. No. Yeah, same with things like bareback, which I've been asked to do, and what else? Things like deep throat, like it's mainly sexual when like escort clients because the majority of kink I cater for and I enjoy. Um I don't fuck around with saline, I don't fuck around with gases, um I don't fuck around with drugs as well, so um, we do need to do an episode about poppers at some point. Um I do fuck around with those. I don't take them personally, but I do have clients who do want to take them. Um and that is as far as I will go with anything like that. Um I know that some mistresses don't allow that and that is absolutely up to them. There's been a few things which I've said no to, like mid-session, and I've refused, and it it does kill the vibe. Um yeah, it does kill the vibe, but but it can do, but you know, like you just gotta get on with it. Um yeah, so there's there's been a few out outrageous things, I guess. I don't know, this is what I mean, like what is outrageous these days? I think at one point a client wanted to shit on me, and I was like, no, unless you got the money, no, and I mean like a lot of money to shit on me. Um I think oh yeah, I think a client did ask to like piss on me, and I was like, no. No, you want it in my mouth, no, no, thank you. Um I've had clients who have wanted me to vomit, and I've said no. Um what is my favorite kink to explore in one of our sessions? Um I again I don't do anything that I don't enjoy, but I love um electrics, very much love electrics. Yeah. Like Peggin, Pegan that's like normal these days. Electrics still got a little bit of spice, and I do like seeing people's reactions to the different types of electrics that I do have here. Um, because I have a violet wand, I have an electrostem flux and an easym set. I might have mixed those two up. I love exploring new things with people. Um when it comes to them. No uh not knowing about things, uh, because I I know quite a bit and I know what gear I do have in my little play space. Um yeah, I would I would say I I love electrics. If you were not a pro-dominatrix, what job slash what would you be trained to be? So I actually uh I actually have a degree in professional cook cookery. Um I so yeah, I I did a good few years training to be a chef and that I loved it, I absolutely did. I love the ADHD in me loves the fucking rush of the kitchen. Love it. Love it. But the shit pay and long hours, no, and that's why I chose to do sex work because I could be my own boss and I could do whatever I wanted, really. And I cook every other day at home. It's not fancy food, because that's just not really I like homey food like lasagnas, bag bowls and um what else? And like casseroles and things. I don't do like fancy dishes. Um but like I cook every other day, so I still very much do enjoy cooking, but if if sex work didn't interest me, and if I had free reign of what I could do, it would either be a chef or a psychologist, um, or a couple's counsellor. But I I'm doing the work I do and living the life I live because of what I've done in the past and what has impacted me in my life, so I feel like there is a lot of factors um when it comes to what exactly I would do if I wasn't a sex worker, and yeah, I love the whole psychology of how everybody's brain works, and I love cooking, and yeah, I think I think it would be down that line. I don't know if I would do childcare, I don't know, because uh stereotypically, of course, uh women doing childcare and going into those roles. I don't know, it's a cute, but I don't know. I I do like children, so maybe maybe in childcare as well, I'm not too sure. I am quite like a caring person and I do love looking after people. So yeah, something in that sector. What was the worst session I've had with a client? Ooh, the worst session. I mean, I've had to kick out people who were drunk. You you can't tell if somebody's drunk over the phone. You could potentially do that, yes, but you also can't potentially realize if somebody's like coked up or drugged up over the phone as well, um, or over text. You might have like a fucking inkling of, oh maybe, and whatnot, but you know, and at the end of the day, some people don't have a choice in what clients they take. So I've had clients who I've asked to leave because they want to take drugs on my premises, or they are already um intoxicated somehow with drugs or alcohol. Um, I've had people who want to smoke indoors, and I'm like, no. Um honestly, probably the worst session I've had. Um there was a guy who I strung up on the bed, starfish, and started whipping him, and he started talking about how immigrants are ruining the country and how and how they're taking all the jobs and the money, and I was like, what the fuck? Out the blue, out the blue, but this man would also talk about how much money he's got and everything like that, and talk about how like he's what was it, like he saved up money as well, um, but he doesn't tip or anything. I fucking hate that. Tipping just isn't that accustomed here in the UK, really. Um, I feel. I mean, I'm sure other DOMs might feel differently, other sex workers, but here in the UK, um, especially in Scotland, I find that they don't really tip and things, which is absolutely fine, that is at your discretion. Um but yeah, he just started talking about immigrants and job stealing and all that stuff and benefits, and if you know me, then the way I look at is if somebody needs help, give them it. If they want to seek asylum here and they actually see this better than the the country that they're in, do it. Like, and if you look at this, like I'm not gonna go major into it, but if you look at the statistics, it speaks for itself. Um, when it comes to who exactly is using the benefit system, and at the end of the day. It comes back to poverty. The people who are using the system are not to blame. It's the people who are running the system. So yeah. Yeah, four or six hundred quid. And I untied him and I was like, right, we're not carrying on. Because this is not the conversation I want, and the mood has absolutely changed. And I don't really want to give a service to somebody who thinks like this. Um, and then I said to him I didn't want to give him his money back because this isn't my fault that he's like this. Um, and then he threatened to all the police. And because I he because he had like red marks on him and things, it wasn't like anything major, he could then say that I inflicted bodily harm onto him and I did something against his will, like it could go on and on. So he threatened the police and I sadly gave him his money back because again, if you listen to the previous episodes of Proceed Without Caution, the way with the police can go one way or another. Um so yeah, I was not risking that at all, especially um I don't even know if I would risk it these days now because it's still basically the same, and I've still got maybe less worries about if I went to bloody prison and whatnot. Um but I would probably yeah, give give the guys money back because it's it's me against the police and the client and whatever else media comes with that. Um so yeah, that was probably one of my worst clients, yeah. Um, where I had to like literally say like goodbye. There's been clients where I have chucked them out because they can't actually pay me. They wanted like extra time, and they're like finding fucking pennies in their pockets, and I'm like, no, no, goodbye. This is it, we're at the end. So yeah, there's there's been a good few worst. Uh one of them which I've previously spoken about was when a guy thought because he's paid for me, he can slap me and spit on me and choke me and call me names, uh, which is not a service I offer. Um, and if I did it would be horrifically expensive. Which I'm sure uh horrifically expensive quotation marks with some of the clientele which I deal with. Um because some people find £100 expensive, or like £150, sometimes even £60, so like you can never satisfy everybody, but yeah. Um and then I kicked him out and he fought because I was kicking him out. He could offer me more money, and I would be like, Oh yeah, that's fine, I'd see you again. I declined that money, which I'm very proud of, and never saw him again. And I told him no, because it's just not how you treat a woman, or just anybody in that matter. So yeah, I've had a lot of worse clients. Um, I've had more lovely clients, absolutely, but that's just a snippet of like the worst clients. So this is like a bit serious now. Where money was no object, where technological and social progress had accumulated in a system where through which every human being was afforded the bare necessities of life as a right supported by environmentally sustainable infrastructure, ensuring housing, clothing, food, water, healthcare, education, and energy. In a world where money wasn't needed to survive, oh my god, I would love that. What would happen to sex work post-capitalism and what happens to romantically uninvolved people like this person right now, with very niche fetishes without the financial incentive? Would sex workers still be an option for people like me to privately explore their kinks with a professional free of judgment? Okay, so this is a question which I wrote out um a big thing for because it's it's a lot to talk about. Um so so the dynamics of sex work would likely shift significantly because the fundamental motivator, financial um, necessity would no longer exist in such a world where basic needs like housing, food, and blah blah blah blah blah blah um the economic pressures that drive individuals into sex work could diminish or change. So there would be a lot less survival sex work, I would like to imagine. And there would be less people financially dependent on like OF, and single mothers especially would be able to survive a lot better, single parents would be able to survive a lot better. Um, sex work could still exist, but it would feel, I think, less transactional and potentially um would be more better in that way, where it doesn't feel like it's a transaction of just giving handing over the money. I know that I very much do express that this is a job, this is a business. But some clients that stops them from coming to see us because they don't want to feel like I'm being nice just because they've paid me to, or be horrible just because they've paid me to. Um, people might engage in and out of a desire to connect, to explore intimacy, or because they find it meaningful in some way, not just as a means to survive or income. You'll have the necessities and you won't have that struggle with income and money anymore as much. Um, people would want to more freely explore, whether that be going into sex work as a producer of um sex work or a client. Yeah, I think it like this is the problem with Scotland, it is quite a poor country in the UK. So if you looked at say London compared to Edinburgh, um get rid of like some population in London because there is quite a lot. Um you will find that people in Scotland want to spend less than in London, mainly because they can't spend more. Um and I explored England quite a bit, and I used to live in Reading, and Reading was amazing for sex work, absolutely amazing. The amount of Jaguars, Land Rovers that I went into and mansions that I saw. Oh my gosh, and the tips and stuff, that was nice. Not everybody tipped, but th there were still tips, more so than in Scotland. Um so I do think poverty and income and the necessities definitely will make a difference, absolutely. Um and there will be less exploitation, um, and it'll be less taboo, I feel. Yeah, the nature of sex work could become more about mutual respect and human connection rather than exploitation and making it about a transaction and it being more taboo because you're paying somebody. And as for romantically unlovable, I just want to give you a big hug because I don't feel like anybody should think about themselves in that way, bless. Whether whether it's um whether they're comfortable with it or not. Um, I just want to give you a big hug. Um as for people who are who feel romantically unlovable or have very niche fetishes, a post-capitalist society might offer some more opportunities for self-expression and personal um exploration without the pressure to perform in specific ways for financial survival. Sex workers might be more open to exploring a variety of niche interests in a non-judgmental and professional setting as well. So, yeah, it opens up a lot more avenues, I feel, where you don't have to think about um, can I eat or can I see a sex worker? Because I have absolutely had clients who would rather pay me than pay their bills, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I am a responsible mistress, I am a responsible sex worker. I do not want you to go into any debt, I do not want you to starve or anything like that. See me when you can see me. Like, it sucks. It really sucks when I only see a client like once a year or something, and it's because of financial, or I hear, oh, I've been saving up to see you and whatnot. Like, it sucks. It r it really breaks my heart that I only see some some clients once a year, or once every two years. Um yeah, and I think there might be fewer barriers to accessing the services and finding someone who shares your particular interests as well. Um, I feel like it would make things more open up. Like at the end of the day, um, society values diverse forms of human connection and professionals are seen as skilled in helping others without stigma and judgment. And I feel like if people were able to afford sex workers more, and no, I'm not saying sex workers lower your rate, I'm saying the politicians actually get their fum out of their asses and actually figure shit out, then I do believe us being taboo would lessen. There would absolutely still be hate, yeah. There always will be. But judgment and the stigma, yeah, I think would lessen. Because we are skilled individuals who know how to communicate with people, who know how to do things safely. And this is a job, and we cherish our years of uh service. In some instances where people some people are like quote unquote romantically unlovable, it's possible that social structures would evolve to better address intimacy and relationships in a way that isn't solely about romantic love. In such a world, people might be able to explore sexual experiences more freely and perhaps even participate in more experimental or niche forms of eroticism with mutual respect and consent with less shame attached. So it would it would all be for the better, and I think this also entwines with decriminalizing sex work as well, um, with people just feeling much more comfortable. Um in a hypothetical world, people with niche interests might still be able to work with professionals who are well trained in creating a safe space, respectful places for exploring these fetishes as the financial pressure diminishes. The focus could shift towards consent, exploring an emotional safety rather than simply the monetary exchange. There might also be stronger social networks for people to connect based on shared interests, where they can find like-minded individuals or to form meaningful consensual and non-judgmental experiences. Ultimately, the future of sex work in these fetishes could be more uh much more beneficial in exclusive experience where there's less stigma and more focus on personal agendas, like respect, exploration or desires, and they're free from financial constraints. So yeah, um I think that pretty much spells it out of that it would be much better if we could actually just live. The next question. Um the pro doms clean slash sanitize footwear, um boots, just j yeah, footwear after and before worshipping sessions. Uh I should hope so. I should really hope so, unless the person has spoken about um having unclean shoes, then please sanitize them. Please sanitize and clean everything. Like before you use like a paddle, um, impact toys, dildos, uh CBT torture devices, um, gas masks, any type of masks. Um, please clean it. Please. That that that's like health and safety. So yeah, I should hope they clean it, and I certainly certainly clean my stuff. Um yeah. Don't do anything unless you've been told, basically. Um yeah. So the last one is how would your engagement with sex work and the world of kink change in such a world, if at all? Um, going back to the question about um sex work post-capitalism, uh again, I wrote a very big thing for it. Um the ethical framework would shift. Again, being the shift from transactional or financial motivations to prioritizing ethics of consent, mutual respect, and emotional well-being. The abs absence? Yeah. Unfinancial uh worries could make the focus less about fulfilling a market demand and more about creating spaces that value safety, communication, and exploration. More engaged in ensuring that all parties involved are fully consenting, informed, and respected rather than navigating economic structures that might inherently create uh inequality or pressure. Uh again, it's normalizing sex work. Um, where I do believe it would be way more normalized. And we've kind of gone over these um in the previous question, but yeah, it would be destigmatized to an extent. Again, you'll always have the hears. Um you could follow more about exploring growth. Um, I feel like there would be more support where it comes with clients, and I've had clients where they've came to see me and they've gone, oh, this is actually much better than I thought, because you're not robotic and you get like an actual human reaction and a human feeling, and it's fun and it's lovely. Um yeah, again, the financial motivation, there'll be most likely more acceptance of it. Um, and of course, you get more control if you do want to work a certain day, or you don't, like there is there there would be a lot less survival sex work. Um, and you would I would imagine be able to work more freely. Ah, it would be so nice. Um, because you and your client wouldn't really have to worry about paying the bills um as much. Um I think that's right, that's it, yeah. So yeah, this has been Behind About a Podcast. Thank you for giving all of these awesome questions, and I very much enjoyed answering them. Yeah, I think that's it, yeah. Um, if you have any ideas on what you want to have on a future podcast episode, then comment somewhere. I'm sure I will find it. Once again, you will be able to find my own personal links within the behind the paddle links. If you are so kind enough to give us a review, I would absolutely love that. That would be amazing, thank you. Um, yeah, what else? You can find us on many vids, dark fans, spotify, apple, all that stuff. If you do want to see me, um naked, uh, because that's where I am right now, then go ahead and join the club on many vids and dark fans. Um I potentially will be doing like a little reading club on added as new episodes every week where I will read a few chapters of a specific book, usually to do with LGBTQ or sex work or um something that is a matter that needs to be discussed in some way. Um and yeah, I will sit even naked or cuddled up and video it and put it out as like an extra nice little episode so you can read a book together. Um yeah, don't know how that will last for. We'll see. But yeah, this has been Behind About a podcast. I am Paulson Victoria, and thank you for listening. Bye.
