[daeshim's mouth is set in a serious, almost grim line. but in his eyes, there's a curious light.

...and in his purple hair, a leaf. that looks like it hasn't seen a brush in a couple of days.]

People ask a lot of questions here. I also have a question:

Which would you pay more for, sex or a kiss?

Comments

[faeshim]

Not my truth. Bet it's not true for everyone else either. So I'm gonna ask everyone until I find out.

[privatechat]

People pay me for sex all the time. No one would pay me for a kiss.

[faeshim]

Ha! See, I told you! I told you! You said no one, but I'm someone!

[privatechat]

You didn't pay for any kisses either! So!

There.

[faeshim]

I only want what's freely given now.

But humans have a thing about money...the more you're willing to pay for something, the more valuable it is.

[privatechat]

Now?

That is how value works.

[faeshim]

Mm.

Then how does it work?

[privatechat]

I was saying that's how it works. The more money you can get for something the more valuable it is.

[faeshim]

You kissed me. You did, and I didn't pay for it. Does that make it worthless?

[privatechat]

In terms of monetary value? Yeah.

[faeshim]

[he stares at him. urge...to turn into a mushroom...intensifying.]

...Wrong.

[privatechat]

How is it wrong?

[faeshim]

It had value. Every value. It was worth a million dollars.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon laughs, he can't help it. ]

How in the world is a kiss from a stranger that valuable to you?

And it's easy to say something is worth a million dollars when you don't actually have to pay.

[faeshim]

You're not a stranger. You're mine.

[privatechat]

I'm not anyone's...

[ He's still not accepted it!!! ]

You'll figure out I'm not worth keeping anyway.

[faeshim]

Wrong. I will keep you and I will take you back to my forest when the time comes.

[privatechat]

You sound like a neanderthal.

[faeshim]

What's a neanderthal?

[privatechat]

Nevermind.

[faeshim]

It's not like you have anything to go home to anyway. You said so yourself.

[privatechat]

But I'm not something to just... own and decide you can take me wherever without me saying I want to go.

[faeshim]

I'm not leaving you behind.

You'll like Jasper's bread.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon is quiet for a while. ]

Jasper might not appreciate you bringing me home or whatever.

[faeshim]

[daeshim tilts his head at that.]

Why wouldn't he? I think he likes feeding people.
