We're getting new people in again. I was starting to wonder... To everyone that's new, there's a clinic at [x,y] that can help you out with starting.

Yeah, I figured as much. But, nah, hey, I don't mind. Important skill for a kunoichi to have.

...given that you're Gai's student, I'm guessing 'start with the basics' is in order here, huh?

...It's that obvious? But thank you.

Um. I've had the Talk, if that's what you're talking about. It was... awful. But I've had it, and I know the basics.

Yep. Sorry. You're nice and all, which sometimes works as a strategy, but more often not.

Um. [She's really, really hoping she didn't get the talk from, like Gai or something. Because she can just imagine what that would be like] That's good, but no, not those basics. Flirting doesn't always lead to sex, nor does it need to, y'know.

I guess it's even worse that it's not a strategy.

[It was. All four of them, together. Tenten wishes she could forget that day.] I know it doesn't have to. I... didn't know there were basics to flirting, though. I mean, there have to be, but.

Sometimes acting like yourself, what yourself happens to be is the best strategy, to be fair.

[Oh god Tenten you poor thing. Hopefully she's figured out it isn't all blooming and shit. That's just scary.] Of course. How to sit, how to walk--hell even how to stand. And, y'know, just how flirty you want to be, or need to be, depending on the situation.

I'm not sure that what I happen to be interests the type of guy I want. I get guys that seem charming and great and then they flip out and get protective and act like I can't take care of myself. I hate that.

[She did other research and knows the basics in a far less horrifying way now. But that's a big part of the reason Tenten's so far behind on this curve.] ...Oh. Wow. Um. I think when I see him next we'll be walking, so... walking? Or really anything.

You know and I know that you can take care of yourself quite well. But, y'know, sometimes guys like to feel responsible or 'protective' over the person flirting with them. A major failing in lots of men but hey. Can't change it, might as well use it as a weakness. Up to a certain point, of course.

[Completely understandable, of course] Right, no trouble. Walking it is. We can move on from there, hm?

I can't change it, I might use it, but I don't think I'll ever like it. I just can't ... I don't know. If they don't accept that I can defend myself, and that's so much a part of me...

Yes, please. Thank you. Um. Should I meet you somewhere, or would video work?

If it's gonna be a long term thing then, no, you're right, eventually you're not going to be able to keep any act up. But if he doesn't like who you really are, why the hell should you be so interested in him. But it could be he just needs to get it drilled into his head that you can kick his ass to next Sunday and back.

Either one'd work, though it might be easier in person. In private, of course.

Maybe. Or I could just not deal with him in that way, and be friendly with him, and go after the one that's smart and hot and respects me. I think I like that option.

Then let's do it in person, in private. Where at?

Also a plan. All depends on what you want from them.

Out of the house would be best. You know of any good places that aren't too cold?

From the one I like? More. Maybe a lot more. I... I don't know yet.

Are the greenhouses both occupied right now? Maybe one of them is empty of people.

Something to think about, probably.

Dunno. I would think so, due to the difficulty of, y'know, growing things in this kind of weather.

I've been. Since we got told we were going home.

Let's try Hughes' greenhouse? He's friendly to us too, as far as I know, so even if he is there he might let us be if he's not busy.
