Sparkle was wonderful, though she said she was older than him by a fair amount, she was so young looking and acted like she was a care free teenager.<br/><br/>When she explained about the eating of plants, and that the death of something in the forest was like themselves dieing. He wasn't much of a botanist but he knew most plants, or so he was led to believe were alive, was the life of a plant less than that of an animals? He wondered since he himself was called an animal, a beast, if that meant his life was less than that of anything else. If they could feel the difference of life was his less?<br/><br/>Though the thoughts carried over to wondering how they could go without eating meat, he had never eaten a plant before in his life. Maybe a leaf on a pig or the insides of something that did eat plants. His race however called anything that only ate plants, food. They were weaker than us and there for were either breeding pods or something to bring home to the dinner table for Ramen, the idea of something eating plants and being strong, or even remotely worth keeping alive was foreign to his race.<br/><br/><b>“I've never eaten a plant in my life.”</b>He picked his next words very carefully.<b> “Ramen don't quite use the word vegetarian”</b>He chuckled at the thought of telling her the truth.<br/><br/><b>“I'll go talk to the smith myself before leaving, to see what he has. I do not want to burden you more than I have to.”</b>His thoughts went back to weapons, what did he really want?<br/><br/>The next question he asked got quite the reaction, she laughed at him, he just blinked and blushed, what had he said?<br/><br/>He simply looked at her and could not help but stare at the round orbs on her chest bouncing around with the beads clinking and jiggling as she did so. He wondered what he beads were for.<br/><br/>She finally gave her answer, and when she did he blushed an even deeper hue of red. His mouth parted and he looked awkwardly at the ground, so she had been with a lot of men and here he was a virgin. He realized he had no chance, and he also realized he wanted to.<br/><br/>he didn't know when but the thought of having a hot passion filled night of hot sticky sex with this bird lady thrilled him, and he felt  a twinge of regret and wanting when he found out he had a snowballs chance of doing so.<br/><br/>It had shown plainly on his face, a sullen smile, mostly for show, he wasn't in tears, or depressed per-say, but rather he looked a little disappointed with her answer is a depressed way. If that makes any sense.<br/><br/><b>“Oh, I see”</b>Was all he managed to utter. He walked in time with the little girl and her mother. She had said he liked to learn,<b> “Well, you said you liked to learn, do you want to know anything about Ramen?”</b>Though the race known for raping and killing might not have been a good topic with a child around it was better than asking her<i> 'so... how many guys have you been with? Like... more or less than fifty?'</i><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
