How do you make someone...yours?

[daeshim's head tilts to one side with the last word, the corners of his lips turned down in a pensive little frown.]

Not just physically, but their heart too. It feels like...it must be a very different process from the way things are done in the forest.

You can't make someone love you. You can show them your affection and feelings and give them the chance to choose to reciprocate.

[faeshim]

[hmm. daeshim frowns, suddenly a little unsure of his chances.]

By...sleeping with them?

[doubled_speed]

[What!?]

Dude, I mean, hooking up with someone doesn't make them love you. Wow. Um, not to shame sleeping with people. That works if you're both into it of course.

[faeshim]

I am open to other suggestions! Perhaps flowers?

[doubled_speed]

You gotta make sure they aren't allergic.

[faeshim]

What is the meaning of this word, 'allergic'?

[doubled_speed]

Like... they don't handle it. Face swells up, they get teary, they sneeze a lot. Sometimes they have trouble breathing.

[faeshim]

[daeshim's eyes widen at the horror that tommy describes.]

Flowers can do this to humans? Oh...what a relief. It doesn't seem that he was allergic.

[doubled_speed]

Well, then you should be fine to try with that. Not that everyone likes them

[faeshim]

What are some other things that people like? [wait, that's not nosy enough.] What do you like?

[doubled_speed]

Dude, what I like isn't important. Especially since I'm not like an average person at all.

But you often can't go wrong with my dinner. Or chocolates. Some people like jewelry too.

[faeshim]

How are you not?

Food! Though one would be wise not to accept too easily...perhaps I should accept the chocolates instead of give.

You have done me a kindness. I won't soon forget it.

[doubled_speed]

Well, I can outrun sound itself, so you know, not normal.

[Dude's interesting here.]

Uh, yeah, go off on that gratitude I guess?

[faeshim]

[outrun sound?]

You did not lie. The ability to outrun sound is not normal.

[doubled_speed]

Nope. I mean, it's not unheard of at home, but it's still rare.
