Woah woah, it's okay, I promise I'll stop. [For now.] There is no set pace Vivi. Some couples go fast, some go slow, some choose to not go there at all. It's up to what is comfortable for you and your partner, this is the same for you and Fern. No one should feel pressured to rush into anything they're not ready for.

Mamo-chan and I had a very long and serious conversation before we decided to go all the way, we both had to feel ready emotionally and physically before we decided to share ourselves like that with one another.

So if you and Fern are at kissing and hand-holding right now, then that is what you're ready for. Go at what feels best for you both and no one else.

[droptheious]

[Sorry, Usagi, Varian's currently having a quiet, internal freak out that he's managed to miss out on some unwritten relationship rules. Unless they ARE written. Oh man, they're probably written down somewhere and he just never took the time to read them because he doesn't know what he's doing here- as evidenced by his awful, awful flirting. Maybe he should go to the library and-

Usagi's words are finally seeping through past the panic and he sloooooowly raises his face back to the screen. He's still red-faced, but there's a twinge of relief there, too. Oh, boy is he for sure not ready for any of that yet. ]

Oh-okay. C-cool. Good to know. Thanks for clarifying. [He lets out a nervous little hah-hah laugh.] At least me and Fern are good at that? The... talking thing? Yay us?

[Yay them.]

But yeah- you don't have to worry about that for... a while. I am definitely not ready for that yet.

[lightthedarkness]

And here I thought you were bragging you're a good kisser. [Back to teasing.]

But talking is good. In fact, talking is going to be the most important thing to make sure your relationship stays healthy and successful. Well, talking... AND listening. You both need to hear what each other is saying... even if... Fern uses a lot of slang I have no idea what it means.

You know, it's honestly okay if you're NEVER ready for it or if you're ready for it tomorrow. Like I said, Varian, your pace is for you and you alone to be okay with. Not even Fern gets a say in how comfortable you are with how fast or slow things are going, and vice versa.

[droptheious]

Hahaha- oh, god no. The first time I tried to kiss him, I ended up choking on a mouthful of grass.

[Romantic, it definitely was not.]

We're good at that, too. Listening to each other. We've been best friends way longer than we've been dating, we got the whole communication thing down to a fine art by now. And it's ok, he gave me a dictionary for all the Ooo slang.

...But yeah, I know. And I know Fern would never rush me on that. I know he's pretty volatile in... almost everything, but he's always patient with me with the whole... romance thing.

[lightthedarkness]

Romantic. [She chuckles.]

Well, just keep practicing the flirting, remember, you're gonna be usually better off stopping at the second sentence, third at MOST.

[They're both good boys trying their best. It's sweet and adorable and she only wishes the best for them.]

He's way less volatile than he was, I mean, when we first met in person he wanted to stab me but look how far that relationship has come!

[droptheious]

I was trying to be!! I just... inhaled at the wrong time.

[And he learned an important lesson about kissing someone made of grass, so that's... got to count for something right.]

Right. Right. Notes made. Stop at second sentence.

[Pray for him, Usagi. But hey, talking up Fern's progress is a welcome subject so:]

Yeah! He's really working hard on all of that. We dealt with a few of the weird memories of like... Cynthia and stuff and he's learned not to always jump right to violence. He's doing great, I'm really proud of him.

[lightthedarkness]

I'll take your word for it. I don't really want to make out with anyone made of plants if I can help it.

[In the whole "monster fucker" relationship, Usagi IS the monster, all things considered as the alien from another planet.]

I hope he's proud of himself too. And... didn't... hurt Cynthia. She's been hurt enough as it is.

[droptheious]

Fern's the only one here anyway, and he's spoken for. Unless you count the Moss King?

[Fern probably doesn't.]

He is! And he didn't. We planted her... hearts? I guess they were. No violence at all.

[lightthedarkness]

No, no I don't and no thank you. Fern isn't really my type. [Not that... anyone found her to be THEIR type, considering. She was Chloe's and that was about it.]

Mnn, that's how I got so many elixirs actually, was constantly going back and planting the hearts.

[droptheious]

Who is your type, anyway? Out of curiosity.

[Sorry, Usagi, maybe one day you'll be lucky in love here!]

Oh, so that's how you did it. That's pretty smart.

[lightthedarkness]

[Her type is Mamoru.] I mean, most of the time I compare people to Mamo-chan but I guess if we're talking like... IN GENERAL without comparing them to Mamoru... [And finding them lacking.]

Mmmmmmmmmm.... Well, personality-wise, I want someone supportive, and kind, and not in the "I'm only nice in private" kind of way. I want someone who wouldn't mind my hugging them, holding their hand, kissing them, or asking for kisses in public. I don't keep my attraction to someone behind closed doors, ya know? I want someone who is willing to try things for me, like at least ONCE. I don't need someone as energetic as I am. [Literally, only her kid is like her and it's her kid.] Someone who lets me help them and will help me. I want them to WANT to be with me, I want them to be happy with me. I've seen western romances, so many of them the couples feel like they HAVE to be with one another. I don't want to be teased all the time. Some teasing is fine, even I do it. But our relationship shouldn't be one where we're fighting more than anything else. I hate that.

My type is someone who sees me as an equal. Not needing me to save them, and not needing to save me. Someone who wants to be by my side.

[Which Mamoru is in all things.] .... that said if they can lift me up and carry me, well... that is incredibly attractive. [She's a rabbit that likes to be carried, don't judge.]

I have my moments.

[droptheious]

[Varian regrets his question maybe four sentences into this. He doesn't know what he was expected, some syrupy sweet comment that she's already found her type and that is Mamoru. He got... well, he's very informed now at least. ]

...That was very extensive. I'm gonna guess Mamoru ticks all those boxes?

[Look, if there's one thing Varian is not gonna judge on, it's that. He lets out a soft little awkward 'heh'.]

Y-yeah. That last one is pretty cool. I like that, too.

[lightthedarkness]

All of them and then some. He's my prince. [Literally. She takes a deep breath.]

But... [He's not here. She waved a dismissive hand.] anyway, we're talking about your flirting problem.

Does Fern know you like it? [She grins. He's ABOUT to.]

[droptheious]

Awww. That's kinda sweet.

[He lets out a soft whine at her calling it a problem. Such cruelty. He does blush a little at the question.]

Um, yeah. I'm- I'm pretty sure he's picked up on that by now. Pun not intended.

[lightthedarkness]

I'm a massive romantic at heart.

Oh good, don't need to call him and tell him, then. And we both know I would.

[droptheious]

I have noticed that. Just a little.

[Don't do this to him, this is torture.]

Oh, I know, I know- but it's really fine. He worked that one out, pretty sure.

[He's not subtle about it. ]

Woops, wrong tag

[lightthedarkness]

Oh, Oh Varian sweetie, you have no idea how bad I can be.

It's pretty fun, being picked up.

<3

[droptheious]

I don't think I ever actually want to know just how bad you can be.

[He lets out a nervous little chuckle.]

Y-yeah. It's kinda nice, too. Safe, y'know?

[lightthedarkness]

Well, a kiss between and Mamo-chan was so passionate and powerful it literally created a new weapon that allowed me to save the Earth... again.

[droptheious]

Oh. How does that even- how does that even happen?

[How does a kiss create a weapon? ]

[lightthedarkness]

Mamo-chan and I combined our powers. I don't know how else to explain it. I haven't really bothered figuring it out.

[droptheious]

[There's definitely a nerdy little whine on his end.]

Usaagiii why wouldn't you try to figure that out? A kiss makes a whole weapon? That's definitely something to try and learn.

[lightthedarkness]

I mean, if Mamoru shows up, I'll be sure to insist we practice and practice and practice until we make a new weapon. How's that?

[droptheious]

[A little sound of sheer mortification escapes him.]

Nope. No. Already regret this conversation track. I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

[lightthedarkness]

Should I name the weapon after you once we make it? The Vivimoon, kinda has a nice ring to it, sounds adorable.
