I suppose I should step out of my normal fields of study, and into the more sociological.

Your favorite food, if you will.

I taught myself, for the most part. Read books, watched others, and developed through trial and error.

Hm.

[he's swirling around the water in his glass.]

Something on your mind?

[In goes some more shrimp; will get to his salad once he's done with the main meal.]

[he nods, but leans back forwards.]

Nothing too important.

Often untrue. What is it?

[There goes another piece of lobster.]

Often, but not always. I was just wondering what the other mes find in everyone.

Attraction is rarely consistent, or rational.

Hence, not very important.

[and he takes a shrimp. examines. then eats.]

Not necessarily. It depends on why the subject of attraction was on your mind in the first place.

[Finishes up his food. Onto his salad.]

[--erk. he's been caught.]

It's been bothering me. It's like every room I look at, people are having sex in. It's annoying, and useless, anyway.

Sex is generally done for pleasure, or to show affection for another, or both. I'd say reproduction as well, but the amount of heterosexual couples in this crossroads seems to be quite minimal.

Many things that are only for pleasure could be considered quite useless. It all depends on the value we lend to them.

In this situation, I would assume one of two things. That you are either asexual and simply frustrated with others constantly having sex, or you yourself are attracted to someone, and feeling a similar kind of frustration.

[s-sputters. his ears fluff up before he goes back to drinking like a normal person.]

For all of our sakes, I'd hope it's the first one.

[Lexaeus is insightful like that.]

It would seem it isn't.

I don't know anyone in this room, how would I feel attracted to someone?

[the stare you're getting isn't threatening, but actually quite confused and lost.]

I wouldn't know your history here, or how long you've been here - or perhaps your history in your world before coming here - but based on your behavior, it's the most logical conclusion. However, it is not a certainty, just the more likely of conclusions.

[he's sighing.]

... mm, sorry. I just--that's unsettling.

There is no need to apologize.

You should finish your food.

[and he does, like a good boy.]

[Once it's all cleared out, Lex patiently puts away the dishes into the dishwasher, cleans up the table, the stove, and everything else.]

Are you full?

[he's getting up, trying to help.]

Y-yeah. Thanks.

You said you don't know anyone here. Do you have a room?

I usually just crash on a couch, why?

Not the best of ideas, considering.

I can either help you find a room of your own, or you may stay in mine for the night.

[he's more than a little surprised.]

Th-that really isn't necessary. I'll be fine on my own.

Perhaps. Still, it's best to establish a room of your own. And if you are quite averse to sex, the couches really aren't a good place to sleep.
