For the latest birthday girl on LJ,
kilraaj! Because obviously, nothing could serve a fandom birthday better than putting a character you enjoy through some really humiliating circumstances. ;) And though this particular part isn't for our fic-exchange, you can see that part hopefully soon. In any case, I do hope you enjoy

Shouldn't he have already swam through a goddamn sea of willing women before he finally end up in the friendly waters of Lake Lady Sky Pirate?
Penelo, this is Larsa. He probably was working too hard to even think of having sex. (I was going to suggest that maybe he was keeping himself for Penelo in some "the purity of love" belief, but he doesn't seem to have any qualms about Penelo being more experienced than him. ...or maybe he didn't figure that out and just thinks she's more "talented". *snerk*)
I loved best how he so formally apologizes and asks for another chance. Oh, Larsa. ♥
Thank you! And thanks to mithrigil as well.

And oh Larsa. Dear, sweet, extremely-inexperienced-with-women Larsa. The truth is, he really was "saving himself" for Penelo! Part of it was just because I thought it'd be funny to see a reversal of the whole men-can-have-sexual-experience-but-god-forbid-women-do-the-same thing that's still a staple of romance novels... but part of it was due to the ages at which they met.
Penelo lost her virginity before she even met Larsa (Reks/Penelo is my OTP of sweet but utter doom) and it took her a few years (say, when Larsa hit around 16) to start thinking of him as a potential sexual partner. So she's already had two or three relationships under her belt by the time this takes place. This, of course, didn't make Larsa happy but eh-- exactly what could he do about it? ;)
Larsa on the other hand... well, he was clearly too young to have sexual relationship when he met Penelo and crushing on her far too ( ... )

(I kind of like the reversal of experienced guy/naive woman too...which is why I like Johnny/Shania and Larsa/Penelo.)

And yay to experienced ladies hooking up with naive men! I just love the gender reversal and comic possibilities of ships like that, I really do. ;)

But trust me-- Larsa didn't lie when he said he was a fast learner. And hopefully the next couple of parts will show why. ::whistles and walks off::

Awwww at the apology and blushing!Larsa.

And I support Larsa and Penelo blushing in any and every context! And he so would be the sort to do so, yes? ;)

(and I would so love the fic you and kilraaj were talking about.) Reks Lives! would be an awesome Alternate Reality story.

And that AU would be awesome. Who can we find to foist it off to?! And please, not me. I have too much on my plate already.

I love your buildup, I love his composure at the end, and I especially love the awkwardness throughout that comes of my knowing PRECISELY what will happen.

And my question now is... was your Larsa from Swansong just as inept during his first tumble with Penelo? And how did he make it up to her afterwards. ;)
