You should meet Vanille. She's really nice!

[jemerite]

I don't want to flirt...

[mnementomori]

Flirt? What's that? I thought this was about meeting people...

[jemerite]

[She gives Xion a bemused look.]

You... "put the moves" on someone, when you want to have sex with them.

[She would know, she'd done plenty of that when she was alive. The idea of it makes her a bit queasy now.]

[mnementomori]

[she almost says "I see", but she doesn't, really.]

What's sex? Is it like ice cream?

zinc took this very seriously....

[jemerite]

[Well... if anyone is going to explain this to Xion, it may as well be Zinc. Her not!boyfriend maintained zombie prostitutes, and she herself had been a pretty serious nymphomaniac in life.]

Not... exactly. [Although, sugar had been her second fixation in life. She couldn't consume it at all anymore, it made her ill. Still, both were pleasurable, there was no denying that.] Sex is about bodies. You touch each other, wherever it feels good.

[She pauses for a moment to consider how to explain further. It was never something she'd tried to vocalize before. It had been introduced to her when she was thirteen: when she and Jacob had had sex for the first time.]

Nerves can feel pleasure, anywhere, but it's very strong, between your legs.

[She really working on dumbing this down and not using any slang, she knows Xion won't have any clue what she's talking about if no one else has told her about sex.]

It's, hm, exciting, touching the right place. Your heart beats fast, until your nerves pulse, and feel it all over. It's called orgasm, it's why people do it.

[That and making babies, but Zinc had gotten herself well and truly sterilized at 18 and forgotten all about something so stupid. Besides, there weren't any men here.]

It's easier to show, than to tell, but I can't.

[mnementomori]

[someone actually giving her a detailed, straightforward answer instead of skirting around the question. This is new. She listens very carefully.]

[it's likely she wouldn't even be able to experience it if it were allowed though, with her body as it is.]

[she looks down for a moment, considering it but not finding anything she can compare it to.]

Exciting, like...mm...like being around someone you love?

[jemerite]

[Zinc is silent, lowering her eyes.]

...no. Love is different. I guess... [She sighs, and concedes:] sometimes they go together. But they're different.

[mnementomori]

Okay...

[she still doesn't understand, not entirely, but she always feels self-conscious when she's brimming over with questions.]

Is it important, to do it?

[jemerite]

[Her expression pinches. It made her feel like a corpse, when Barbet refused her touch. She knew he didn't want her in his studio, and without even the pretense of lovers, she was barely more than an irritating pet. It was important to her, and losing it was an ache.]

No. You're too young, maybe.

[mnementomori]

Too young...

[people have told her that when they didn't want to explain things, but Zinc had never shied away from that.]

A lot of people say that about different things. How old do I have to be to do everything?

[jemerite]

Some people are never old enough. It's... about what you know. How strong you are. How smart.

[mnementomori]

Oh...I guess do still have a lot to learn.

Will I know when I'm ready?

[jemerite]

Maybe. Some people don't know, until they've tried.

[And failed miserably. Zinc generally laughed at them 8'| ]

[mnementomori]

Oh...

It all seems really complicated.
