A Day in the Library
While Sengai was wary about exploring the city, he had been growing rather bored. To help with this anxiety, Giovanna had shown him the Genoshan Consulate's library. Sengai had to admit he was impressed. It was by far the largest collection of books he'd ever seen. Granted he never traveled from home before, but still. What was really astounding was the sheer number of books and articles by mutant authors. Gio had said he could stay in there and read as much as he wanted. She had since left for an assignment and had left Sengai to his own devices. He was currently reading an article by a Samuel Tyler, an advocate of a "Seperate, but Equal" approach to human-mutant relations.

	"It's pretty unusual, though there are people who are getting more and more adventurous with food. Me, I like the ordinary stuff. Pizza is just amazing." She squeezed his hand--she hadn't let go of it just yet as they set out on the streets--and grinned up at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He was suddenly very thankful for the power-dampening suit. Human life energy didn't attract to him like most forms of power, but when not presented with more immediate options, human life energy looked more and more like food.

'Maybe I should ask her to let go, for her own safety. I don't wish to offend her, and feels wonderful to hold a woman's hand again, but...' While not exactly speaking clearly, he was mumbling the argument to himself as he debated in his head.

	"Uh, Sengai, you okay?" She looked at him weirdly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai realizes he'd been mumbling aloud. "I am sorry Nell. I was just thinking. Even with this suit my powers can be difficult to control. I was simply worried what prolonged skin contact could do to you. I should have said so sooner, but..." Sengai's face turns a little red. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looked down at her hand and then back up to him. "What are your powers, exactly? I mean, other than having awesome eyes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's the ability to absorb various forms of energy and create constructs from that energy. The problem my body's constantly calling out to various energy sources." He opens his shirt a little, revealing the dampening device. "This lessens the compulsion considerably. The reason I mention it is because human lifeforce is one of the types of energy I can drain. It's..a big part of why I came here. You should be fine, Nell. I just..don't want you getting hurt because of me."

	"So if I pass out you have to carry me caveman style back to the Consulate? Kinky." Nell couldn't help but grin. She wasn't scared at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, he had to admit she was reacting far better than he'd expected her too. He smiles warmly at the woman's uncomplicated acceptance. Suddenly his face quirked a little in confusion. "Kinky?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-06 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"You...don't know what kinky means." Her eyes narrowed. "Sengai, do you even know what sex is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-06 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Sengai makes a perfect straight face. "If you're referring to the near-rabid act of procreation, yes. My parents are not discreet people. I imagine I understood what it was before most kids my age. Does 'kinky' have something to do with it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-06 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"It can. Oh yeah, I know what we're doing this afternoon." Nell blushed briefly. "And NO it is not procreating. But I'm going to explain kinky to you. Visually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai blushes a bit himself as he rubs the back of his head. "Well I certainly didn't think we were going to. I mean I've just met you, that would simply be uncouth of me to assume that." Sengai raises an eyebrow. "Visually? Please tell me this not another encounter with a man in women's clothing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh! No, no we aren't showing you off to tranny hookers. I'm going to take you to a strip club. A very nice one. This city is raw, Sengai. I want to make sure that you are at least safely exposed to things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-06 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Strip club?" Sengai asked curiously. "I'm sorry, I must sound like such an ignorant foreigner to you. If I was born in Sri Lanka proper I may have known some these things. Instead I was raised on the outskirts of a village. A village that had barely joined the modern world himself." Sengai was a little embarrassed at his ignorance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai suddenly smiled widely. "That's what my mother would say when she took me into the village with her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do trust you, Nell." Sengai says with a somewhat shy smile. He coughs once to regain his composure. "Soooo, pizza. Yes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
