Girl Talk
(Backdated to sometime closer to K'hym's "date" with "Virgil")

K'hym, in her guise as ordinary human Kim Johns, sat herself down in a booth at Warriors. What a strange set of experiences she'd had lately.

She needed the advice of someone with more experience doing human things that her. Preferably someone female. She had seen on her television shows the idea of the Girl Talk, and believed this was the solution she needed. Avia, however, was out on tour, and Dinah was busy with the Titans, and Cindy was likewise busy.

Fortunately, Petra was still available and had been willing to meet with her.

	Petra sat down a minute or two after K'hym, all smiles and free drinks. "Hey greenbean. What's up?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Oh, it is very exciting, Petra! I need to have the Girl Talk with you to tell it all!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-04 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"'The Girl Talk'..." Petra blinks. "Just to make sure, is this about shopping or hair or something like that, or some kind of weir-- some kind of Martian biology thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-04 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Now K'hym looked a little confused. "This is about a boy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-04 01:04 am UTC (link)
	She grins. "Okay, that's girl talk. 'The' girl talk is generally to do with stuff that happens to girls as they get into their teen years. Don't worry about that. So! There's a boy?" She pushes an oreo milkshake towards K'hym. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-04 01:07 am UTC (link)
	She sipped happily from her milkshake for a moment first, enjoying the Oreo goodness. "Yes! His name is Virgil. I met him when I was in the city not long ago. We went to a vegetarian restaurant and then a museum." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-04 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Petra tilts her head. "How did you meet?" Kimmy's got so much innocence around her that Petra wants to make sure she's not getting played by some pick-up artist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-04 01:15 am UTC (link)
	"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Neither of us were looking where we were going and we bumped into each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-04 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"...normally people just apologize and keep moving. Is that really all that happened?" She raises an eyebrow, sipping her mojito. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-04 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"Well, he said he was a tourist and that he was kind of lost, so I offered to show him some of the city sights." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-04 01:46 am UTC (link)
	Petra manages to keep her composure as she gets some more details on the meet. ...okay, make that the 'meet cute'. Dude, Kimmy just had a straight-up romantic comedy moment. This has to be some kind of play by the guy. "So you had a date. That's sweet. What did you talk about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-04 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing truly significant. He is interested in journalism and looking for a good internship, we talked about school, our families, that kind of thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-05 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Uh...huh." Petra lets that sink in for a bit, one eyebrow still drifting upwards. "You didn't let anything about your family's hometown, did you? Real hometown, I mean." She was pretty sure Kimmy understood the point of secret identities and such, but it couldn't hurt to make sure. "What did he tell you about his family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-05 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"Please. I am an ordinary Earth girl, living with her father in Denver." She went on, "Just that he had lived with his father until recently, before deciding he needed to be out on his own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-05 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Hm. Single parent household? Probably used to getting lots of attention and his own way most of the time. "And you want to see him again, I'm guessing, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. Do you have anything in mind?" Petra was already plotting to spy on the date. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-05 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"I do not have any ideas," K'hym admitted. "I am afraid despite all of my watching of Glee and the shows on the Disney channel, I do not know much about what human boys like to do on dates." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-05 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Honey... you know those aren't real, right? You probably shouldn't break into song or anything like that in the middle of a date." She pauses. "And don't ever get on board with any ideas new friends of yours have to get rich. Unless it's Cindy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-05 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, I am learning that," K'hym said. "It was very disappointing to learn high school did not involve more singing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-05 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"You could always join the theatre group." She suggests, trying to be encouraging. "Just understand the time and place for that kind of thing. And real relationships shouldn't be as unhealthy and dramatic as the ones you see on tv. Also, an evil gym teacher will not try to destroy you, I promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-05 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, that sounds like it would be a good idea!" she agreed. "I am fairly certain my gym teacher is not evil. Or at least, not super-villain evil." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-05 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Hmm... how about taking him bowling for your next date? You can tell a lot about a guy by putting him in a position to compete." Not to mention seeing if he gets handsy. "How evil do you think they are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-05 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	She clapped happily. "Oh, I like bowling! I am quite good at it on the Wii." "On a scale of Kite Man to Darkseid, probably about a Crazy Quilt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-05 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Perfect. You ever play it for real? Just make sure you hold back enough when you throw that you don't bust up the joint." She smirks. "And, just between us girls, it's okay if you don't let him know you've got experience.. Guys like thinking they're helping a girl with something for the first time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-05 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"I have played it for real too," she told Petra. "I am quite good at holding back." She gave Petra a funny look. "So... I should pretend to play badly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-06 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Not bad... just see how he does first. If he gets competitive and douchey, then you CRUSH HIM and don't give him another date. If he's nice about trying to help you, let him, and gradually go back up to normal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-06 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"These are very complicated rules," K'hym said. "But Virgil is very nice! I do not thing he could be "douchey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-06 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Guys are complicated. Sometimes they can seem really nice at first, then turn into... well, themselves. Kind of the whole frog prince thing but in reverse." Hopefully Kimmy gets the reference. "Just be careful, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-06 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I thought humans were mostly limited to one shape?" K'hym asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-07 12:19 am UTC (link)
	Face, meet palm. "No, not literally... It's from a few different Earth folk tales about princes being cursed and turned into ugly animals or beasts, but then a kiss turning them back into a handsome prince. There's this whole supposed lesson about inner beauty. Sometimes in real life, people are pretty on the outside, and act like it, but are ugly inside." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-07 12:21 am UTC (link)
	"Ah yes," K'hym said. "We do not have a folklore like that on Mars, because our minds are open to each other." Or at least they did. Before Mars died. Before she lost her telepathy, leaving her alone inside her head, except for when her father shared his thoughts with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-07 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Petra senses the mood darken, and smiles, reaching over to put her hand on K'hym's. "Hey... don't worry about it. Chances are he could be a perfectly nice guy, and you always get a little funny in the head about the first dude you like. I just want you to be safe." She grins. "Okay, now what are you going to wear?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-07 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	K'hym smiled a little, but then titled her head. "Clothes, I would assume." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-07 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Petra chuckles again. "A bit more specific? How much are you planning on showing?" She winks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-07 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Um, just the normal amount?" K'hym asked. "I am afraid I do not understand the human rules for this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2013-05-07 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, thankfully, you're talking to an expert." Petra says happily. "Finish your milkshake, then we're going shopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2013-05-08 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"My father says you are a basically good girl who is very good at hiding her wild side when your father is watching," K'hym said. "But I believe you have been a good source of advice so far. So I like this idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)
