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.

	"Once or twice. A friend of mine worked at the bar. I came to socialize and not get bothered by creeps. I'm not what most guys who frequent these places are looking for so it's a safe environment for me." Nell watched as a girl came up on the stage with a whip. "Ah. And now the kinky part begins."

	"Wait, using a whip is kinky?" Sengai looks over at Nell. "I use a whip often myself, but in battle. What use does it serve here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 01:53 pm UTC (link)
	"The context makes it kinky. Do you use the whip in a manner that either gives or suggests sexual gratification?" Nell gestures as the woman with the whip begins spanking another dancer. "That is what makes the use of the whip kinky in this context." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes widen at the scene before him. "No..I haven't. I wasn't aware it could. So 'kinky' is..an unorthodox method of pleasure?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a pretty good description of it, yeah. There are all sorts of varieties of kinky. Some of them are really freaky and weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	"I see..wait," he looks over at her with a slight smirk. "so when you said I'd have to carry you back to the Consulate 'caveman' style you said that would be kinky. Were you implying you would take some 'freaky' or 'weird' enjoyment' from that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai blushes a little at her directness, temporarily forgetting the dancers on stage, which was impressive in and of itself. "Thank you. That is very flattering." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	"It's not meant to be flattering. It's honest. You're handsome and pretty cool. And you blush a lot, which is ADORABLE." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	Sengai tries to look serious, but he still laughs a little. "Perhaps I am the former two as you say, but I am a proud warrior Ms. St. Croix. We don't do 'adorable'." He takes a serious look at her. "And you are beautiful yourself and interesting despite what you may think." By this time he was pretty much ignoring the strippers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And I make you blush adorably which is entirely against the rules of warriorness. Clearly this means I win some sort of cosmic contest." She nods sagely and barely notices that he's ignoring the mostly-naked women around them.

"This whole world is so fake and artificial, Sengai. Everyone is trying to be something they're not. Don'tlet any of the crap you see overwhelm you. Take it one thing at a time. I'd hate for you to get lost in this sea of humanity."

"Yes, I'm certain even now the ancient beings that codified what it means to be a warrior are shaking their heads in shame as we speak."

He frowns a little. "I think I understand what you mean. What happened in District X was..very difficult for me to understand." Memories of his helplessness in that situation causes him to hang his head low, not looking at anything.

	Nell put her hand under his chin. "Hey. You did everything you could, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	"I did nothing!" Sengai almost yelled. He startled the stripper closest to them. He consoled her. "I'm sorry." He then turned to Nell. "Maybe we should go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Nell snatched her hand back from his face, her eyes briefly wide before she righted herself by looking way under the guise of getting her purse. "Yeah, maybe we should." She pulled a few bills out of her purse and gave them to the stripper before turning to head out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The moment they got out of the club, Sengai nearly broke into tears. "Gods, Nell..I'm so sorry. I didn't mean..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Whoa, hey. It's alright." She turned to look at him. "It's okay, Sengai." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai takes a few deep breaths. "It's just..that child's face..everything they did to those people..and I couldn't do anything. What would Father think of me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But you couldn't have done more that wouldn't have created worse. I know you feel helpless--I get that very, very clearly because that is precisely how I feel all of the fucking time--but if you had done more, things could have gotten worse. You did your best. You did honorable things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"I know logically that's right. Giovanna said the same thing, though not quite like that." Sengai moves to a bench and sits down. When sees no one's looking he takes his glasses off, exposing the ever-present glow for a moment as he rubs them. "It's not the first time I've been helpless." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Won't be the last, but there'll be more times than not where you're helping instead." She sighs. "I wish you didn't have to wear the glasses." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It would be nice, but as far as problems go mine is minor. There are mutants out there whose mutations don't allow them a normal life at all. In truth, I'm lucky..in a sense." He looks at Nell with a sad smile. "I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to have the adventures you wanted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-07-11 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Dude. I took you to a strip club. That's a pretty fine adventure all things being considered and I think Gio will kill me when she finds out. So worth it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-07-11 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Heh, maybe we'll skip the specifics. Say we went to a 'dance' club, which is technically true." He slips the glasses back on. "Still, I appreciate what you've been trying to do for me, Nell." He grins a little. "Still, it may be best if I not bring this up into my next letter home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeeeah, I somehow doubt your mother would approve much of me if she knew how horrible I was in actuality. Make up something nice about me being pretty and introducing you to pizza without letting you overeat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
