Does this two never establish a safe word or i just forget they have or something?

They did on the spot before this punishment play, the word is "Honey" even though it wasn't established very properly.

AND karlyle was very shy Abt the word choice on the safe word but went along with it bc yk he loves ash, and I just can't help but assume that ash specifically choose that word 1. Bc he wants to hear Lyle say it, and, 2. Bc Lyle is more unlikely to say it bc of his shyness on said word thus he can continue to tease or do whatever to karlyle, but that's just me. I just found the whole coercion thing vry² weird when they could've talked and communicated it in a more normal way(?) considering also that karlyle is very new to bdsm thus he's very overwhelmed with whatever ash is suggesting but goes along with it bc HE LOVES HIM TOO MUCH
