Characters: Namine, Iron Liz
Content: Namine has some questions for Liz
Location: Liz's room
Time of Day: Not long after Ammy pulled the lever to end the "raised by wolves" effect.
Warnings: Could possibly end up as a version of The Talk.
Normally, Namine didn't like to bother people with her troubles. Explaining herself wasn't always easy--she had trouble with words--and she didn't like to be a burden. Helping was so much nicer.
This was the second time Riku had acted oddly about being alone in one of their rooms, though, and if she was going to understand she needed to know why. The books on the media deck didn't seem to be much help, and he'd told her to ask one of the other girls, anyway.
So here she was, knocking at Liz's door, hoping her friend was home.

"No, it's something fairly specific. When we exchanged presents at Christmas, we opened them in his room, but he kept the door open, and when I asked why, he said something about people thinking he was taking advantage...but then he wouldn't say say why they'd think that." To her it was strange to think Riku would try to take advantage of her. "Then, there was the time we thought we were wolves? When we woke up from that, we were laying on my bed. He said we shouldn't have been doing that, but we'd just been sleeping...He looked really embarrassed, too."
Had she been given a little more social education, Namine would probably be embarrassed. As it was, her confusion was probably fairly obvious. Well, also maybe a little relieved to have gotten through the explanation. That was almost the most she had ever spoken at one time.

Welp. Liz guessed she was now starting to play more of a parental role than she thought she would coming onto this Satellite.
She fiddles with her fingers idly a moment before answering, sounding a little embarrassed.
"I think he might be worried the others will think you're having sex."

"Oh! I didn't think...Sorry!...But why would they..."
no subject
"I know, it's a ridiculous assumption." Most private time she spent with Linkara only really consisted of reading comic books on the futon, and they were both old enough to consider sex without society's weird looks.
"But that's just how some people think. Any time two people get into a relationship, everybody assumes that sex is involved."
She offers a smile, though, "At least it sounds like Riku's being a gentleman. I've known too many boys in my time who would spread rumors about girls they're with, whether anything happened or not."
Those two icons together...XD
"Strange." Namine sighed. "He wouldn't do anything like that...Other boys would?"

She really was lucky.

"At least some of them improve."
