...? I didn't tell you who I kissed.

But it was another person, wasn't it?

[ unless... ]

... It's hard fulfillin' envy alone.

[ She's silent for a moment, looking conflicted before she just asks, ] How'd ya do that anyway? Ya just ask someone to do stuff with ya?

Yeah, pretty much. Or they ask you.

We're all here for things we want, so we can't- I can't afford to be shy.

That's true.

[ She accepts this.

For about five seconds. ]

But what if they say no? Or they say yes but ya change yer mind? Ahhh, it's too embarrassin'!

[There's a very short pause.]

Are you interested?

[ Way to cut to the chase... But she crosses her arms, giving the question due consideration. ]

Interested... Maybe curious? I never had time for a boyfriend back home, so it never crossed my mind. Ya know?

[This place isn't the time to be coy. Still, he's quite relaxed about Yuel's answer.]

Yeah, I get it. Relationships aren't for everybody, and not everyone is comfortable with hookups.

There's no real reason to force yourself.

[ His answer gets her to laugh. ]

Yer right, I'm actin' like a kid. There ain't no rush... and now I know I got a guru to count on.

Ya got a lot of experience?
