[Hey now, her idea of chilling only includes some mild sexual deviancy to occur during the night! The day is completely free for non-nympho activities!]
M&M's World is in Vegas, and there's this huge buffet with everything that has a great lunch time special! Oh, and we could go see the botanical garden at the Bellagio!
[Even her normal chilling is pretty active, all things said and done.]
[She's an animal when undomesticated, make an honest-ish girl out of her and she'll cuddle even more than usual! But road life isn't going to allow for a dating life, so this is how it has to be, right? Right.]
I'm sure that there's candy there, but I don't think that's all it is! There's the history and toys and memorabilia and stuff! I just want a plush of the sassy green one anyway, and a blanket.
[They could really be there for twenty minutes at the most, don't be a spoil sport, Krieg.]
[That's incredibly surprising, actually! But it also makes her consider something so important, so very thrilling that she looks over at him! And then her eyes narrow, she seems to squint, even leans in closer ...
[He's content to let the conversation end there, but eventually he realizes that Nariko is staring at him. He does a double-take, trying to keep his eyes on the road.]
[He has to keep his eyes on the road, but he keeps looking at her like she's going to elaborate. When it's clear that she's just going to leave it at that...]
Come on, you can't bait me with a story like that and just leave me hanging.
I mean, it's sort of like a bad porno. I was hot for the guy and I didn't give up until we fucked on his desk. I think that was, like, his first year teaching, too.
[She waves a hand before going back to writing.] He was one of those silent, kinda scary looking guys. Everyone was terrified of the guy, but back then I enjoyed getting a rise out of people for the sake of it, dude might as well have had a target on his back that said 'all of my desperate thirteen-year-old fantasies'.
[She gives him a deadpan sort of look, but since that might not be enough to get her thoughts across:] I didn't care about anything but blowing that man until he couldn't remember how to breathe, Krieg. When I get like that I don't really give a shit about what might come after.
[It's a habit she hasn't quite broken, yet, but someone once told her the first step to forming new habits was recognizing you have a very bad one! So she's been recognizing this one for about, oh, three years!]
Besides, he didn't lose his job. Instead he called my mom and recommended 'serious' counseling, even though I ditched his class for the rest of the year he gave me a 'B' and I pretended he didn't exist after that.
[She rolls her eyes so violently that it's amazing they don't tumble out of her head.]
[Forget being an animal, she's a real force of nature. No wonder the two of them had chemistry the very moment they met...
Still, the whole conversation has him feeling...odd. For a moment he's content to just let the conversation wane into silence, but he really can't let it go. His hand wrings the steering wheel a little, and figures...well, fuck it.]
[... The timing of that question is just amazing. And also kind of terrible. But since it doesn't sound like he's accusing her of anything, and there's no disgust involved, she might as well be honest.]
Yep.
[She's just going to leave it at that, since he's probably getting at something here, and he doesn't need the details anyway.]
[There's an abominable awkward silence that follows her answer as Krieg tries to figure out what to say next. How to admit it without...actually admitting it.]
[The words about tumble out of her mouth, is what hard except it ... Clicks sort of quickly, not that she believes it immediately. He's not, there's no way! But then, no one ever asks that sort of question unless they haven't.]
It's sort of like riding a bike. [If he really is then she's not going to make him feel bad about it! If anything she feels a strange need to be as informative and helpful as possible.
Maybe it's because this might be one thing she's more worldly about.]
For a lot of people it's awkward the first few times, you have to figure it out slowly, but then you just sort of get the hang of it - it can be very instinctual.
[It's nice to finally have someone he trusts to talk about this kind of stuff. Was he going to get it from his parents? Hell no. Was he going to learn it in school? Dropped out too early. Was he going to get it on the street?
No. He's crazy, not stupid.]
I guess I never really understood it. I've never looked at a person and went, "of anything else in the world, I want to have sex with this person." The idea seems cool and all, but I think...I think I've never felt like I trusted someone well enough to like...ask for it...or something.
[It's almost a little disheartening because, well, she figured that might be the case for him. She closes her notebook and leans back into the seat, glances over at him.]
There's usually a few more steps involved. First you meet someone that makes you happy in a way that's different from normal happiness, just being around them can make you smile or feel kind of at ease with things, and touching them is exciting - even if it's just holding hands or cuddling. Sex is usually the result of an intense emotional connection that can't stay within the boundaries of friendship. Trust and respect and arousal are things that come with time, and supposedly the best sex is had with someone you have all those things with.
[But she doesn't exactly know what that's like, so if he finds out he'll be the one to school her on it.]

Is...M&M's world just a candy store?
['Cause if so...pass.]
no subject
I'm sure that there's candy there, but I don't think that's all it is! There's the history and toys and memorabilia and stuff! I just want a plush of the sassy green one anyway, and a blanket.
[They could really be there for twenty minutes at the most, don't be a spoil sport, Krieg.]
no subject
Heh. You would like the green one.
[Look, he doesn't eat the candy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't watch the commercials.]
no subject
[Especially one made of chocolate.
That's really okay since the only reason she ever came to love the candy was thanks to the commercials! Advertising at it's best, yo.]
I like the yellow guy, too, I always want to give him a hug.
[She smiles at her own writing but it's really meant for Krieg, she just forget to turn her head the right way.]
no subject
[Yep. The wild rockstar drummer Krieg likes the calmer, bespectacled anthropomorphic candy. Goooo figure.]
no subject
[That's incredibly surprising, actually! But it also makes her consider something so important, so very thrilling that she looks over at him! And then her eyes narrow, she seems to squint, even leans in closer ...
H m m m.]
no subject
Wh-what?
no subject
You'd look extra hot in glasses.
['Extra' because Krieg is already perfectly attractive on his own.]
no subject
[Truthfully, he's actually a little nearsighted...nothing to necessarily need glasses, but still, it's not 20/20.]
no subject
[Don't misunderstand her interests, partner.]
no subject
[He's more, you know. Leather and gasmasks and chains
and ballgags.]no subject
[And she's not going to apologize for that! ... Ballgags, though?]
You'd kinda look like that hot teacher with tattoos that everyone wants to fuck.
no subject
Ballgags.]
That's a...pretty specific fantasy. Is that a "thing"?
[Krieg wouldn't know, because he dropped out in middle school.]
no subject
I mean, it has to be. [She looks up and squints at the road ahead of them.] ... If it's not I might have made a terrible mistake when I was thirteen.
[Well, to be honest.] Not that terrible, I guess, but still. It's good to knock things off your bucket list, I suppose.
[She goes back to writing. If Krieg would like to nope right out of this line of conversation that's perfectly fine, she won't drag it out.]
no subject

What. You didn't even wait until he was tenured? He could've lost his job for that.
[Krieg? Chastising someone for doing something reckless? Hell must be freezing over.]

You have a lot of sex, right?
no subject
Yep.
[She's just going to leave it at that, since he's probably getting at something here, and he doesn't need the details anyway.]
no subject
Is it...
[Hoh boy. He clears his throat.]
Is it hard?
no subject
It's sort of like riding a bike. [If he really is then she's not going to make him feel bad about it! If anything she feels a strange need to be as informative and helpful as possible.

For a lot of people it's awkward the first few times, you have to figure it out slowly, but then you just sort of get the hang of it - it can be very instinctual.
[Is she handling this right? God, she hopes so.]
no subject
No. He's crazy, not stupid.]
