[video - a few hours after Zelos's post]

[Ram's hair is a bit messy but he cares little about it as he turns on the video feed of this communicator.]

My partner Zelos is trying to get me in bed. [He smiles lopsidedly, barely awake after sleeping 14 hours.] Any polite way to tell him 'no' without hurting his feelings?

[ooc: This makes sense in context, as Ram is being literal, but feel free

[Well. This is a new topic for the network today.]

2/2

[gunsmokeangel]

[Might as well help.]

Well, you tell he's a great guy with a swell personality but he's just not your type and besides that, you have a fear of commitment!

[It's a lovely topic! c:]

He is a great guy, that's not a lie. My type? What does that mean? [Hello Vash, meet a clueless program.]

I do not have a fear of commitment, that would be lying.

[gunsmokeangel]

[Poor RAM. A clueless virgin user's not gonna help the situation.]

You know, the type of person you're attracted to that you really like.

Though, it doesn't sound like that's your problem. Could you tell him you're just not ready to take that next step?

[r_a_m_1982]

[That is a very good point. When is Meryl when you need her.]

I don't think I have one, but I like Zelos very much. What does that have to do with the bed problem?

And if he gets angry at me?

[gunsmokeangel]

[Sob. We need insurance girls.]

Some people consider it the next step when two people like each other! Sharing a bed, that is.

[Vash contemplates this.]

But whatever you two guys do in that bed is your own business!

[r_a_m_1982]

[Yes, urgently ;A;]

Oh...then perhaps we should do it.

I do nothing in bed, that's the point. And I think Zelos sleeps.

[gunsmokeangel]

It can take some getting used to, that's for sure. But after a while you get used to having another person there! Just try and stick it out!

[r_a_m_1982]

Having another person where? [UH? What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?]

[gunsmokeangel]

In bed! ...right?

[And now you lost him.]

[r_a_m_1982]

What for?

[This conversation will end well...I can tell.]

[gunsmokeangel]

Cuddles? With your partner? In bed, right?

[It was pretty much doomed from the get-go.]

[r_a_m_1982]

We never cuddle before. That's what people does in bed?

[That's true. I apologize for my muse.]

[gunsmokeangel]

Well, that, sleep, and a few other things. But if you haven't even cuddled yet, I think you have a way to go before that sort of thing happens!

[Vash still sounds confused.]

You are talking about you romantic partner, right?

[This is why I have a form letter so I can distribute Vash's apologies efficiently.]

[r_a_m_1982]

Dunno, I never asked him if he wants to do that.

[Ram matches his confused face.] I am talking about my Meister. I doubt he could love.

[Oh, smart. I need one for Ram.]

[gunsmokeangel]

Oh! That kind of partner. Well, that's completely different! Why does he want you in bed then?

[Then it sinks in a second later.]

And what do you mean you "doubt he could love"? That's a terrible thing to say!
