shaker, meet stranger

[mrglam]

Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.

He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?

Giggles all round.

[msglam]

And kisses?

[first_and_final]

Those too!

[msglam]

Okay she's getting over her panic over him figuring her secret out.

(Mostly.)

[first_and_final]

That is good. Panic and kisses don't tend to combine well.

[msglam]

They don't!

...Sadde should not get too carried away, this is their first date.

[first_and_final]

It is their first date. And Ashras seems pretty content with the kisses. Kisses are great. Sadde is great. Lots of things are great right now.

[msglam]

Eeee! Kisses are great, Ashras is great, everything is great.

(Except for the fact that someone knows her secret now.)

(...she should probably stop thinking about that and focus on kissing the cute boy.)

[first_and_final]

The boy is very cute. And kissable. And enthusiastic about Sadde and the kissing thereof.

[msglam]

That's good because Sadde is managing to stop thinking about that and is starting to pay the enthusiasm in kind.

[first_and_final]

Excellent! There will be so much kissing.

[msglam]

So much kissing!

...possibly some accidental shirt rumpling. They are on her bed, after all.

[first_and_final]

Shirt rumpling is totally fine with Ashras. Look how fine he is with the rumpling of his shirt.

[msglam]

She is a bit sad about rumpling the shirt. It's a pretty shirt.

(...she should not get carried away.)

"I find myself wondering how much cultural difference there is between dates here and in Aluvanna."

[first_and_final]

"The basic idea of 'spend time with a person, possibly in a public place, possibly involving food or some form of entertainment', seems to be about the same... there are a bunch of varying customs depending on where exactly you live."

[msglam]

"Ah, so the kissing's new?"

[first_and_final]

He laughs. "That seemed obviously universal."

[msglam]

"Oh, I don't know, some moms tell their children that they shouldn't kiss on their first date."

[first_and_final]

"But kissing is still a component of dating in general. One hopes."

[msglam]

"Yes, it is."




...there is something on her mind, that is pretty clear.

[first_and_final]

"...Are you trying to get at something with all this interesting cultural exchange?"

[msglam]

"Maaaybe."

[first_and_final]

"Would you like to be more clear about it?"

[msglam]

"We-ell, there's something else they say you shouldn't do on your first date."

[first_and_final]

"Is it 'see your date naked', because that wasn't my fault."
