Oh um... ah... I I really don't think I should be listening to any of this... I know where babies come from, but um... I didn't know that.. oh dear...

Th-this is all a little too much for me to handle.

I-I'll be um... hiding today I think.

I find myself made uncomfortable by the majority of these discussions, too.

[tiny_angelic]

I just didn't know there was so much um... more to it than having children. Or that people did it so much.

[i_am_ptolemy]

...Ah. I am not surprised by either of those facts, but I would much rather not converse about them.

This is a most awkward curse.

[tiny_angelic]

Y-You're not? Maybe it's just me then.

Y-Yeah.

[i_am_ptolemy]

That is not to say I have any experience in the matter, of course. My life was one devoted to learning, not such...worldly activities.

Have we spoken before? I have talked with so many people since arriving that I can no longer remember who I have and have not met before.

[tiny_angelic]

I I never even thought that far ahead. I um... had other things to think about too.

I don't think so. My name's Colette. What's yours?

[i_am_ptolemy]

That is, essentially, how I felt, as well. This City has a certain preoccupation with intimacy, though, and I have had reason to think on it lately. What were you so focused upon, that it did not cross your mind?

It is a pleasure to meet you, Colette. I am Ptolemy of Alexandria.

((OOC: They're, like...the innocence twins. O.O Except Colette's older, lol.))

[tiny_angelic]

You mean with all those curses and stuff?

Oh um...It It's nothing really big. Just some things I had to do, that's all.

Pleased to meet you too~♥

[i_am_ptolemy]

Yes; certain curses have forced me to consider aspects of my life that I would not otherwise have given a second thought.

In your world of origin?

[tiny_angelic]

You mean liking someone instead of just studying?

Yeah. Things I had to do back home.

[i_am_ptolemy]

That, and...other things. Things I began to realize after I changed, I have had more time to consider here.

I see. They are things you would prefer not to speak of?

1/2

[tiny_angelic]

You changed? What kind of things and how did you change?

Oh! I'm sorry if I'm asking you too many questions.

[tiny_angelic]

Not really... I just don't want people to know and treat me differently. But...

Um... I never thought about being able to really like anyone because I didn't think I was ever going to be able to grow-up.

[i_am_ptolemy]

I do not mind questions. I have no right to mind, considering how many I ask myself. What would be the best way to explain it? If I asked you to guess my age, what would your answer be?

...I see. Your death seemed assured, then? Did you die, truly, or are you alive?

[tiny_angelic]

Um... I'm really bad at this, but maybe you're about the same age as my father?

[tiny_angelic]

No... I didn't die, but if I was able to do what I supposed to do in the beginning, I would have died in a way.

But I'm very much alive now.
