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.

	"So. Pizza's pretty good, right?" Nell was full and happy as she took a sip of her soda after they walked out of the restaurant. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yes," was probably the understatement of the year. He was so full he felt like there was a rock in his gut. He looked at her with a teasing smile. "Why did you let me eat so much?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because you were enjoying yourself and you looked really cute. Also, I ate about as much as you did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-10 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	He laughs at that. "I fail to see how watching a man stuff his face is 'cute'." He looked over at her. "Yes you dd, I'm impressed you can still walk. You must have a pit in your stomach somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope, just an incredibly high metabolism. It's like the one good thing I got in my genetics. Not quite a cool ability, but I can eat pretty much anything I want." She grinned. "But it almost doesn't matter. Where we're going next we will get to sit for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you said there was nothing interesting about you." His face turned questioning. "You've been alluding to this place for awhile now. Just what are you up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Being able to eat two large pizzas isn't interesting." She grinned. "Well. You didn't know what kinky meant. And you told me of...well, the incident with the guy in a dress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-10 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Sengai frowned. "No, no, Nell. I would much rather never seen THAT again. If that's 'kinky' I want no part of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh hell no I'm not showing you THAT again. I'm taking you somewhere else. Somewhere cleaner, more appropriate and I'm going to explain all you see to you. I promise, I won't let anything weird happen to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Smart man. But you do need to brace yourself. There will be mostly naked women. Keep in mind, however, they are being paid handsomely for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-10 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Naked women?" Sengai's eyes bugged it a little. "Are you taking me to a brothel? While I..appreciate the gesture, I'd prefer if my first ti..." He promptly shuts up when he realizes what he had been about to reveal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nell's eyebrow shot up. "You're a virgin?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He said nothing, but his reddening face was all the answer Nell would need. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sengai, that's really not a big deal. Honest." She tossed her empty cup away and curled an arm through his arm, walking close to him. "There's nothing wrong with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-10 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I..thank you. I appreciate you saying that." Sengai accepts the arm gladly. He enjoyed being around Nell. She was blunter than any woman he'd ever met, but she was also so honest. It was nice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"American women are skanks. It's just the truth of it. Okay, not all of them. But a lot of them are pretty free with the sex. I think this is a whole Westernization thing, but I assure you that not all people are like that. And I also assure you that all we're doing is watching. No one is going to touch you. I'm just going to show you things so that maybe they won't be so stunning to you when you either see elements of them on tv or hear things in conversation."

	"I was about to say. You are an American and you don't seem to be a..'skank' was it?" Sengai visibly calms. "Well, if you truly believe it will help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think it will take some of the shock off of things for you. And no, I'm not a skank. I just swear. A lot."

She makes generally idle chitchat with Sengai until they reach the club. It's still early in the day so it's not terribly crowded--or weird--inside, but there is definitely the idea of a transition from normal and something different. Outside is light, inside is much darker...and people are wearing a lot less in the way of clothes.

"Hey Steve," Nell says casually to the bouncer. Yeah, she'd been there before.

	Sengai hopes the dark doesn't make his glasses look out of place. He's about to mention so to Nell when he sees... "I..th..oh my." That was all he could say when he saw the scantily clad women. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 12:39 am UTC (link)
	"They're called boobs, Sengai." Nell tilts her head. "And they make me look like I have none. Damnit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Nell's voice snaps him out of his daze, "Uh, right." Now Sengai's intial response was to assure her, really it was. So he looked. "Really? They look fine to me." Sengai slaps a hand over his mouth. "I am..oh gods..I am so sorry. That was..that was inappropriate of me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Nell laughed. "It's cool, Sengai. You can look at my boobs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"That is..um, generous of you. But I..respect you..it would be rude of me." Sengai realizes the irony of trying not to be rude in a place like this. He tried to find a way out of his increasing awkwardness. "Um..should we sit down someplace?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"It's only rude if you look without permission. I grant you permission." Nell took a quick look around and nods. "Right over there. Far enough away for you to be able to ask questions, but close enough to get a good look." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
