"HA, served you RIGHT," a grinning Fastus pointed to the big black cat: "you WERE in the part with the goblins! You and Wireth battled a clawed tornado ALL BY YOURSELVES and you missed it too, so THERE."

Elsbeth
Once the two women were somewhere reasonably private, Elsbeth shifted uncomfortably for a brief moment.
"This is kinda complicated and confusing. Last evening, Fastus invited me to his place for a visit. He was alone and sleeping when I arrived. He awoke shortly after and seemed to be energized by my presence. I am uncertain but he seems to act oddly around me lately and when I am near him, I feel strangely uncomfortable. I cannot explain it. It;s not like being near him makes me ill or anything, it just gives me a weird feeling. I get a little light headed and my body temperature rises. Do you think I should see a physician?"

Kaodi
Legend
Slumped back slightly with his arm wresting on the back of his chair, Suldrel watches intently as Sachiko and Elsbeth go off to talk alone, a thought crossing his mind. The elf frowns and lets out a small sigh, then catches himself. He grabs his mug of water from the table and takes a sip. Then another. He does not say anything though. Suldrel does wonder whether his unusual degree of chattiness from the previous day or two will be a passing thing, or whether with danger it may become a trend. That unsettles him a bit. A bit more, that is.
Sachiko goggles at Elsbeth openly for a moment, honestly beside herself.
"Ells...has no one ever talked about this sort of thing with you? Parents or...anyone? Ah, all right."
The corners of her mouth twitched as she fought the impulse to fill Elsbeth's head with amusing lies. Contrary to all appearances, she DID have the ability to do this. She just rarely bothered. But Elsbeth and Fastus were good friends...and she rather wanted to match them. It would make everything so much more convenient.
"Fastus is...hm, all right, let me back up. You know how men and women get married, yes? And have children and so on?" Sachiko barely waited for a nod before plunging on. "Well, young men and young women develop feelings for each other. It's the beginnings of falling in love, you see. BEFORE they fall in love, they just like to talk and sit together and kiss and things. And then they fall in love and want to get married and so on and so forth."
She raised a finger, as if to point at the ceiling.
"Fastus has those feelings for you, and it sounds like you have those feelings for him. So...congratulations!" Sachi grabbed Elsbeth's hand and pumped it vigorously. "He's a good catch, honestly, but you can't ever tell him I said that. He's really a bratty boy in his brain, but he has a good heart. And if you like big muscley men who are always gleaming with sweat...well, you needn't look any farther."
With that she burst into a laugh. "But you already know all that! That's probably why you want to yank his clothes off, after all!"

Elsbeth
Elsbeth blushed. This was all new to her. She had led a fairly sheltered life for many years until Ameiko had rescued her from her adoptive parents.
"Of course I know how babies are made. I'm not completely uneducated." she protested.
"It's just that I've never experienced anything like this before. My adoptive parents had planned an arranged marraige for me. Ameiko helped me leave them before that could happen. Do you really think he likes me? You know, as more than a friend? I don't know what to do. This is all very confusing."

Elsbeth
Elsbeth sat quietly for a moment thinking about what her friend had just told her. She really was clueless about these kinds of things, having been raised in a loveless household.
"Thank you Shachiko. You're a good friend. Is there a book where I can learn about flirting?"

Jakira glanced at his mistress as she mentally told him to hold his tongue. He chuffed in a pout.
Jariah looked to Ameiko and asked, “How are you today? Has there been any news this morn?”

Sachiko giggled and shook her head...and then suddenly stopped and got an 'ah ha!' expression.
"Actually, I think there might be! I mean, I haven't read any MYSELF, but...there were a couple of books that looked like they were about men and women, but the bookshop seller...argh, I can never remember his name!...he saw me starting to take one off the shelf and he chased me right out of the store!"

Fastus frowned at the silent exchange between Jariah and her Companion... "Scareddy cat?" he offered to Jakira, like it was some sort of invitation or something.
