WHO: Kaidan Alenko and Flame Princess
WHERE:Kaidan's place
WHEN: Super backdated to the evening of the 28th
WHAT: Space Dad and Fire Daughter hanging out eventually turns into Kaidan learning she has a boyfriend and deciding that this is probably a good time to give her ~*~the talk~*~
WARNINGS: Eventual awkward discussions about how sex works. So uh. Yeah. There's that lmao.

[A few days have passed since her last chat with Kaidan, and... Flame Princess is feeling much more clear-headed than she was before. Not that she wasn't herself when she contacted him, but she was still trying to sort out which memories were real and which ones weren't. At any rate, she definitely knows that Doctor Doomsday nonsense was all fake and so are any of the memories she has associated with it - and going back to being certain that she has friends is a plus, too.

It'll be good to hang out and talk to Kaidan now that she's normal and not yelling at everyone. Or threatening to burn down cities.

... Those were a weird few days.

Either way, she'll go ahead and knock at the door.]

Kaidan? It's Flame Princess.

[kanadian]

Like, uh --

[The pause takes a while. He's trying to figure out the most clinical way to describe it, and he's kind of falling short. He frowned. ]

There's uh, sex and...what he was talking about which is -- its -- FP how old are you, exactly? [ That seemed safer... ]

[wayhot]

I'll be turning sixteen soon. [Fifteen. She's fifteen.]

[kanadian]

Yeah, so fifteen. [ How did he even... start..... ]

Nobody told you about this? It's pretty -- [ Oh god, he was just going to have to dive into this and not look back. Someone help him. ]

So, when adults [ pointedly. Adults. ] care about each other, they sometimes try to share how they feel with one another. It's...pretty basic biology.

[wayhot]

So... like kissing. [Which she's already done. She's not really seeing what makes this a Big Deal yet.]

[kanadian]

No -- It's -- [ He has never in his life had to give a talk to a teenager. He'd never thought it was going to happen. His eyes flicked to the screen, and then back at FP, while he tried to think of a way to delicately explain it, without going overboard. ]

More than that. To break it down to the bare basics, [ he started, sounding a hell of a lot more clinical than he felt, ] it starts with putting certain body parts into each other.

[ Was that delicate enough? Dear god, FP, please don't make him explain what tab a and slot b are. ]

1/2

[wayhot]

[Don't worry Kaidan, you won't have to explain that part of it. Just... give her a minute to process this.]

So it's... [Not kissing, and just hugging wouldn't be a big deal. Certain parts... oh.]

Wait-

2/2 i'm sorry kaidan

[wayhot]

WHAT!?

[FWOOSH. And those heat-resistant gloves are pretty much burned to ashes now. They were not ready for the temperatures an embarrassed teenager could reach.

... Thank goodness she's wearing so much foil.]

[kanadian]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!! [ Kaidan had to scoot back from the couch, slid away from her, and away from the heat. ]

Don't set my apartment on fire, please!

[wayhot]

[Cools down a little, and goes back to looking more like a person.]

Sorry! I just... how does it even... why? [WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE.]

[kanadian]

[ He looked around, warily. Was anything on fire? No, nothing was on fire, but he thought that he was going to have to be more careful. How did he even --

Why would someone do it? Oh. Boy. ]

That's a good question. [ Kaidan was patting himself on the back for that one. ] Mostly because we're dumb.

[wayhot]

Well, yeah . [No argument here.]

But how is it supposed to... you know. Wouldn't it just hurt? [Thinking about how much larger Gamagori is compared to herself, and... nope. Nope nope nope.]

[kanadian]

Uh -- [ He didn't really want to...get into that. ]

It's, uh, not supposed to? [ God help him now. ] You should stay away from that stuff for at least a few years anyway. Not that you shouldn't...do some research, but... [ For the love of god. Please don't ask him. ]

[wayhot]

Oh. But... [CONFUSED GROAN.] None of this stuff makes any sense!

[At... least she's not asking for details????]

[kanadian]

I don't think it's supposed to yet!

[ He didn't want to go into his (lack of) a sex life, or how he learned about it back at Brain Camp. ]

Just... if you're interested, talk to your nurse at school? They can probably do it better than I can.

[wayhot]

Right. That's... probably a good idea. [She'll just. Do some research on her own and ask the nurse at school like he suggested yeah that's a better idea.

Clears throat.]

So... do you want to finish the movie? [Instead of talking about this more please say yes, Kaidan.]

[kanadian]

Yeah, let's...

[ He hit the play button, probably a bit too rapidly. Kaidan was no more comfortable with this than FP was, apparently. It was easier to just hit play and not think about that painfully awkward conversation.

He'd prefer if it never came up again. ]

[wayhot]

[Flame Princess doesn't say anything else. She'll just... watch in silence for the remainder of the movie.

Today has ended up being far more awkward and uncomfortable than she anticipated, and like Kaidan, she'd rather not discuss it any more.

Don't worry, man. FP has no intention of ever speaking of this with you again. Ever.]
