I have confirmed commander Hirato's location. As his subordinate it is my duty to be at his side in order to assist him.

I am unfamiliar with the validation you are seeking before taking action. Where are your sense of priorities? It is of the utmost importance that I contact him right away, in a place like that--....................

[and it's finally beginning to sink in that Zodion is a place fueled by the sexual acts of it's inhabitants... in the beginning such minor details were unimportant compared to the confirmation of Hirato's whereabouts.]

H-How indecent--! Are all residents required to take part in such lecherous acts?? I will not succumb to behaving intimately with strangers in order to survive!

[ . . . ]

Well, if Hirato should need me there then I would go without a second thought, of course but .... I can not comprehend how something like that would work.

Hehe
I can tell you're lying.

[motherhens]

I have no reason to lie to you. You have simply misjudged the situation.

[8reaks_8balls]

I call them as I see them ::::P

[motherhens]

One can not always assume things and expect them to be correct.

[8reaks_8balls]

8ut you're getting all defensive about it, what am I supposed to think?

[motherhens]

I did not mean to give you that impression. I was taken off guard by your initial statement.

[8reaks_8balls]

Sure.
Though purely hypothetically.
If you were to tell me a secret lik that.
Just to get it off your chest I would keep the secret and never tell a soul.

[motherhens]

Tell you a secret...?

I thought I made it clear that there aren't any hidden feelings. There is nothing I wish to hide.

All I want is to be useful to him. In whatever way he sees fit. I am honored to aid him as his subordinate.

[8reaks_8balls]

May8e I was wrong then and you're his moirail in a weird situation?

[motherhens]

I'm sorry, what is a moirail? That is not a term I am familiar with.

[8reaks_8balls]

w8 you don't know????????
It's supposed to be someone that keeps you out of trouble and you keep them out of trouble.

[motherhens]

Ah, yes!

[Though at times really it seems like she does most of the work in that respect. Not that she's complaining...]

That is an excellent description of our relationship. I shall have to remember that term for future use.

[8reaks_8balls]

Alright but I think I sort of forgot how humans work
Humans only have one romantic relationship, right?

[motherhens]

That is not always necessarily true. I can not speak from experience, but there are those whom hold many romantic relationships, not usually all at once, but over the course of their life.

In my opinion you are lucky to find so much as one person to love, who truly loves you in return.

[8reaks_8balls]

What I mean is that you only have one type of rel8tionship
A troll with all the rel8tionships has four
Though only two of those are involved in making new trolls.

[motherhens]

Four relationships? That seems like quite a lot.

If it's alright with you, could I ask you to elaborate a bit more on the subject?

[8reaks_8balls]

Sure I'm not an expert but I guess it is kind of basic information anyway
The two involved in procre8ion are matesprit and kismesis
Matesprit is the only one you guys actually have.
It's a rel8tionship founded on liking the other troll or person in your case

A kismesis is the opposite
You h8 the other troll but through natural attraction you form a rel8tionship

[motherhens]

So trolls.... choose to partake in intimate relations with those whom they dislike to the extent of hating each other?

That appears rather strange and counter intuitive to me.

[8reaks_8balls]

Well that's just how we work.
I mean I know you have stories about love that shouldn't exist socially
Attraction is a powerful thing
8ut our 8rains work differently so I understand your confusion.

[motherhens]

Yes, I am aware of infatuation that is not considered socially admissible. Though, I must confess to never having heard of relationships of the kismesis variety before now.

However, if that is normalcy for trolls I can accept it as such. We all live in worlds full of a variety of different cultures. I have no place to judge what you deem to be acceptable for your kind.

[8reaks_8balls]

Of course, the other two sort of exist in your culture I think 8ut you don't consider it a form of romance
There is the moirail I already told you about and then an auspistice which 8asically is a troll that acts like medi8tor between two trolls that don't like each other
It could be someone mediating for a kismesis relationship but it doesn't have to be.

[motherhens]

I can understand that. There are people of that variety back home who exist in all sorts of social situations.

We are not so different after all, we just have contrasting labels for relationships.

[8reaks_8balls]

I guess so

[motherhens]

You have given me such abundant information about the relationships of trolls, is there anything you wish to ask me about humans pertaining to the subject of relationships?

[8reaks_8balls]

No I think I'm pretty caught up.
Well unless there is some sort of practice to courting a human that I'm not aware of.

[motherhens]

[O h. She shifts, seemingly feeling a bit uncomfortable.]

I'm afraid I do not have much knowledge in that department.

Though I do know people who are highly skilled in that area of expertise.

[Namely one.]

[8reaks_8balls]

Oh?
Who????????

[motherhens]

Colleagues of mine whom I have observed. However the title of most skilled in manipulating the feelings of others, of the romatic variety or otherwise, would have to be awarded to Hirato.
