Robin shrugged, ignoring his little jab at them being new to Kansas, and tried to seem as confident as possible when Xavier asked about who Sappho had been and in doing so revealed that he thought her to have been a man, which might be a logical conclusion from what Robin had read to him.<br/>"Seventh century Greek poet. Biography about as fragmented as the surviving body of work. Few poets' status are as disproportionate to what remains of their work. Only about 650 lines have survived and there are really only four complete poems, the rest are fragments reconstructed mostly through the quotations of other ancient poets, dramatists and philosophers."<br/>They spoke slowly and took great care not to actually mention Sappho having been a woman or where she lived most of her life. It might put him back in a suspicious mood about the reason they selected that particular book for him to give to Abigail.<br/>"We haven't got that far just yet in Ms Saunders' class but it is on the reading list."<br/>They paused before adding that they had first read it some years ago, without specifying how many.<br/><br/>Robin had ordered spicy pork ribs with sweet potato fries, coleslaw, refried black beans and a cheese covered corn on the cob. It must have seemed like food for a week to an outside observer but Robin was going through a growth spurt and could basically eat around the clock if they wanted to. Once finished the patted their belly and let out a subtle burp.<br/>"Damn that was some good eatin'" they said trying to imitate the Kansas accent but failed miserably.<br/>Their own typical Brooklyn accent shone through like the sun on a clear blue sky.<br/>Not quite sure they wanted to go back to the school just yet they stepped out of the pick up and lit a cigarette. They leaned up against the open door and looked up at Xavier as he thanked them for the time they had spent together.<br/>"Y'know I could maybe show you what I mean before. I mean if you're unsure of how non-penetrative sex actually works?"<br/>It was perhaps blunt but it felt like a natural question to fill the awkward silence that followed his thank you.<br/>"That way you'll get an answer to the question you've been trying to figure out ever since you touched my chest last night," they added with a big grin on their face as they pinched the cigarette to put it out and put the butt into their pocket.
