text; an important survey

[indispensable]

Type: Text
Sender ID: indispensable (Alhaitham)
To: Public. So, so public.
Subject: A Survey on Romantic Relationships
Warnings: Potential discussions about sex? I guess?? But mostly this is just Alhaitham being the most obliviously shameless man alive.

This is Alhaitham.

I have a survey that I would like people to fill. There are no restrictions or stipulations to the nature of the responder. The only request is for you to be honest when filling it up.

1) Are you currently in a romantic relationship or have been in one? (yes/no)
2) If yes, does your current or previous relationship involve sex? (yes/no)
3) List down 5 to 10 words that describe what your significant other (past or present) makes you feel.
4) What is your main priority when you are with your significant other (past or present)?
5) How do you measure or recognize your feelings as love? What separates them infatuation or sexual attraction? Describe in 100 words or less.

You are free to leave your answers in this post or direct them to my inbox. I will be following up on whatever answers I feel are necessary.

Thank you for your time.

I can see that much~

Is it really okay for you to be conducting this kind of research so publicly, though?

[indispensable]

Why would it be an issue? I am not asking for anything invasive.

[Kaveh keeps telling him to get 'broader perspectives' and this is about as broad as he can get.]

[book2thehead]

I was thinking more along the lines of what might happen if/when someone figures out who you're talking about.

And also if/when who you're talking about sees how you've been conducting your research.

[indispensable]

[Heizou can't see it but Alhaitham is making a face right now.]

I made sure that the questions are generalized.

[He didn't list or hint at any names!! It's just a public survey!!]

[book2thehead]

Yes, but it may have also been helpful for you to not attach your own name to the survey~

[Not everyone knows you, sir, but the ones who do... Well.]

[indispensable]

People would be more wary if they did not know where or who their answers are going to.

[Would YOU respond to a randomly anonymous survey about love, Heizou?? Would you??]

[book2thehead]

Conversely, they might feel more comfortable giving their answers if the survey was entirely anonymous!

[So- Yeah, he would! SO THERE.]

[indispensable]

[Why does he feel like you're being contrary just to spite him.]

Regardless, its not as if I can remove this post and put a new one up now.

[Not that he would've, anyway. Too much trouble.]

[book2thehead]

[Is he? :3 He isn't, but that's also funny.]

That's true. Which brings me back to my original question: What happens if/when you're found out?

[indispensable]

If I wanted to keep this away, I would have done so from the beginning.

[He knows perfectly well how to be discreet, he just doesn't see this instance as something that needs it.]

[book2thehead]

[There's. A long pause.]

Please don't tell me that means you'd use this as a vehicle for a love confession if you had to.

[indispensable]

I'm simply gathering information at the moment.

[He will not confirm nor deny anything. At least not so publicly anyway.]>/small>

[book2thehead]

[Heizou has... some concerns. But fine.]

In that case, I can only hope you know what you're doing.

[indispensable]

I always know what I'm doing.

[Uncertainty is not part of who he is... well, most of the time. But that's neither here nor there.]

[book2thehead]

Do you? Really?

[DOUBT. SO MUCH DOUBT.]

[indispensable]

Yes.

[If he doesn't then he wouldn't have been able to rescue the Dendro Archon.]

[book2thehead]

Your early attempts at breaking down a small stone monument tell me that you're prone to at least occasional moments of uncertainty.

[indispensable]

How fortunate that small stone monuments are not what I'm tackling here then.

[Now are you going to answer his survey or not, Heizou.]

[book2thehead]

No. You're tackling on something significantly more complicated. How silly of me to think you might have any trouble navigating the subject.

[Why in the world would he do something like that.]

[indispensable]

[Because you responded to this?? The whole point of responding to this post is to answer the survey??]

If you have time to make such remarks then maybe you'll have the time to actually fill up the survey, then.

[Yeah he's calling you out.]

[book2thehead]

[Really? He thought it was to poke Alhaitham. Huh.]

Oh? It seems you have plenty of useful data already. You hardly need my input, senpai~

[indispensable]

[Maybe its time to get your eyes checked, Heizou. And your head too while at it.]

If you have no intention to respond, then I won't bother to entertain you any further. See ya.

[book2thehead]

[Rude! His eyes and head are fine~]

Thank you for indulging me this long, then~

[indispensable]

[Heizou doesn't get a response because he DOESN'T deserve it!!

But also because Alhaitham has nothing more to add. Have fun annoying little Inazuman child.]
