If there is anyone with a penchant for feet who would take this ridiculous toe ring off my hands then I would be much obliged.

Whyever not? There is no shame in it.

Oh, but if you mean in a public channel then, well, there is a reason I attempted to frame my enquiry delicately.

[scooba]

I guess not. I just never thought I would hear about it here too.

Although, I'm not sure if a 14 year old should be talking about this.

[emet_sulk]

Why? 'Tis one thing if you're being solicited for such acts at your young age but we are simply discussing the topic. If you have the awareness and intelligence to ask about it then you are old enough to talk about it. Age is an arbitrary barrier.

[scooba]

Uh....are you sure?

I'm still not sure if I completely understand but I always thought that I need to be a lot older to discuss these things...?

[emet_sulk]

What a ridiculous notion. You are clearly self-aware enough to recognise or suspect what the topic entails. Keeping you in ignorance is only doing you a disservice.

Do you think one magically gains awareness of the body past a threhold of age? No! Growth is an ongoing process and knowledge is a bottomless well. I would certainly stop short of encouraging physical exploration but I don't see why one cannot forewarn a youth of what to expect from intimate relations in the future. It may even prevent you from being taken advantage of.

[scooba]

I suppose not...

I just never thought I would ever get into a relationship no matter how old I get. It's not something that ever crossed my mind before.

[Because for someone like him?? In a relationship?? What was that???]

[emet_sulk]

If you do not desire a relationship then that is your prerogative. There are some who simply enjoy carnal acts for the pleasure of them and others who find no pleasure in physical intimacy but desire close companionship.

Mayhap you are someone who is content with their own company. There is no shame in that either.

[scooba]

[Was he really having this kind of conversation right now????]

Uh...I just don't think I'm ready for any kind of significant other. It's just way too much for me.

[emet_sulk]

[ Emet-Selch is somewhat passionate about combating ignorance. He'd like to be surrounded by one less idiot. ]

Then all is well. And now you're at least somewhat prepared for whatever may come in the future.

[scooba]

I sure hope so. I still don't know as what will happen later on...

There is still a lot I don't know.

[emet_sulk]

Oh? Do you have plans to be a scholar? Or were you sheltered as a child?

[scooba]

[There was SO much he wanted to say but again, he just couldn't.]

No, I don't plan on being a scholar nor was I sheltered as a child. I just...don't have time for one.

I have a very busy life.

[Nor does his job allow it.]

[emet_sulk]

Hmm, too busy saving the world or some such thing?

[scooba]

...You can say that. It is something a little similar.

[Before, it was more about saving Fontaine and protecting its citizens along with doing some.....questionable things but....!]

And I have a feeling my siblings wouldn't leave me alone if I did.

[emet_sulk]

Doesn't it grow tiring? Even a hero needs their rest and the mind needs as much nourishment as the body.

[scooba]

Which is why I try to dive and make penguins as much as I can. If I ever feel stressed, I try to indulge in my hobbies...

[emet_sulk]

An artist, are you? Why penguins in particular?

[scooba]

No, I'm more of a diver.

As for the penguins, it's something that came to me. I just find them interesting and they remind of fairytales.

[emet_sulk]

I thought you said you MAKE penguins?

How are you making them if not through some creative pursuit?

[scooba]

Through metal and other machine parts I can find.

That's not a bad thing, is it...?

[emet_sulk]

No, I simply failed to understand what you meant. My apologies.

You must be quite the skilled engineer then to create functional mechanical creatures. Have you been assisting in the development of magitech?

[scooba]

Uh...I want to. I made a penguin before here but that was because I was curious...

As for magitech, I kind of want to but...I have to admit, I'm not the best with all these new technology...

[emet_sulk]

Forget the magic part of it - you know enough to make your creatures, yes? That in itself would be helpful.

I would like to see one of your penguins sometime.

[scooba]

Uh...well, I have Pers with me.

Do you want to see him?

[With that, he quickly sent over a picture of him holding his mechanical penguin]

[emet_sulk]

[ Oh no, that's adorable. ]

Well now, what a well-made little thing. What powers it?
