No! What is Kumari's obsession with touching strangers?

 

im a very tactile person

i will stop asking u tho! boundaries r important

 

Oh you were quite eager to play games last night!

 

Not this kind of game.

 

BARK?

(The dog's tail wags, eyes gleaming hopefully)

 

omg its a lusus!

where is ur baby lusus

do u want pettings

 

What now you discriminate against word games? For shame, Throttle, for shame.

 

So he is an ally of Throttle's, and therefore a relationship exists. Yes?

Good.

...that is. Ah. Thanks.

 

do ppl not touch a lot where u r from?

 

Scanner, I am not in the mood.

Allow me to ask you a question: Why do you care?

 

They are fairly close allies. It's just... *shrug* things are weird sometimes.

 

Funny you should say that...

 

Nonhostile physical contact is restricted to courting or sparkbonded partners and crewmates, yes.

...that's "crewmates" in the sense of telepathically-bonded social circle, not whatever other meaning the word has in your language, I honestly can't recall anymore who's heard that explanation here and who hasn't.

 

i see. where i grew up, in the sector workgroup, every was p close because we all had to work together and we couldnt leave, lmao. but now im on the surface and it's all, 'dont touch me' and 'fight fight fight fight' and 'u never can really trust people' and 'aaaaah why are u in the closet kumari'.

its hard. :c

 

I asked a question; there appeared to be a miscommunication, which I am attempting to resolve.

Fair. Life is rarely neat and orderly.

 

Are we going back to this again?

 

[with sharp sarcasm] Your attempt was successful. Well done.

 

Oh I think we are because why the pits not. It's not like we were done with Scanner's favorite hobby, arguing over whether I deserve something or not.

 

Throttle...
-he cautiously reaches a hand out for her-

 

And you say you're not punishing yourself. Amazing.

What, medic?
