i haven't seen that many recent ones.

would dal be willing and open to be taught? i think that's an important question. he seemed willing when we were talking about sex, which he knows nothing about either...

[strewn]

i was going to say, mind if i introduce you to some? maybe i can rustle something up for later on when i stop by.

i think so. he's super curious about everything. it kind of doesn't surprise me he talked to you about sex. i mean, it sorta does, just because it's surprising he's being so open. but i can see how he'd feel at ease talking to you.

[foxtwo]

okay. like what movie?

i think he just wants to make sure he knows what he's getting into. he seems to be into the pianist. a lot.

[strewn]

tell me something you'd like to see in it and maybe i'll surprise you!

i think 'a lot' might actually be an understatement. he's never had anything like this before. i'm glad there's people around who can help him. i'm not exactly a huge help myself.

[foxtwo]

i don't know! um, i guess i like possession stuff, that's fun for me.

ah, so trying to seduce him would fail, do you think?

[strewn]

possession's a hot topic with horror movies today, that gives me lots of options!

i think if his pianist tried to seduce him, he'd probably do just fine. or are you talking about yourself??

[foxtwo]

i was just teasing. hasn't his pianist already seduced him?

[strewn]

seduction's something that happens over and over and over, not just one time, young grasshopper.

[foxtwo]

oh. right, yeah. i guess that makes sense, if you're going to see the same person more than once.

[strewn]

yeah, and i think dal intends to see myung lots, if you know what i mean. oh wow, what if he's the one doing the seducing?

[foxtwo]

would that surprise you? if he was the one doing the seducing?

[strewn]

would it? yeah, i think so. that'd be pretty surprising. he's kinda stoic.

[foxtwo]

but he's never been in love before. that changes people.

[strewn]

for sure, i think it must, right? he's going to experience lots of new things.

[foxtwo]

you think? you've never been in love?

[strewn]

in like? sure. in lust? definitely. in love? not so much, no. it'll happen when it's meant to.

[foxtwo]

fair enough. i've never been in love either.

[strewn]

so we're both just going on what we've seen in others?

[foxtwo]

guess so. it looks wonderful to be.

[strewn]

yeah, won't lie and say i've never been envious. casual relationships are fine, but something serious would be nice too, i think.

[foxtwo]

why not pursuing it, then?

[strewn]

i'm not sure i know where to start with that, honestly.

[foxtwo]

i guess it's about... giving people a chance, not just dismissing everyone after a night. which i'm not saying you do. i did that, though, before. but i wasn't looking for love, i had enough with the kids.

[strewn]

sounds like a pretty legitimate reason to me. not that you have to legitimize your lack of serious relationship history, of course. giving people a chance sounds pretty doable to me though!

[foxtwo]

is there anyone in this house you could have a serious interest in?
