Natalie nodded agreeably, needing to wash her hands herself after helping him.<br/><br/>"A play partner?  What exactly is that?" she asked him, glad they were where no one else could hear them, not wanting to be made fun of for her obvious ignorance.  "I didn't know they had whole communities for that kind of thing," she tried to explain, hoping he wouldn't look down on her and wonder why she was even here, if he had to explain something so basic to her.<br/><br/>"All of this stuff is new to me, I've only been with a couple of guys, and that was a while back.  I guess you could say they were pretty normal, they never asked to do anything strange, at any rate," she grinned, feeling easier when she saw his own.  At least he was amused, rather than put off.<br/><br/>"As for whether I've looked at anything myself, no.  It's true, I... I wouldn't know where to look even if I wanted to.  As for... exploring new things, I wouldn't mind, if it was with someone I could trust not to hurt me, and someone who would be patient with me in explaining things I don't know," she added shyly, hoping he wouldn't take it as flirting, only giving an opinion, letting him decide what to do with it.  She didn't want to risk looking at him, and busied herself at the fridge, looking for a drink, eying the bottles Erik had brought with him, feeling like she could use a bit of something to relax and not feel so jumpy.<br/><br/>She shook her head to Jake's offer of beer when he came by with them, hoping he wouldn't think she was rude, or stuck up.  She just didn't like beer, needing something on the sweeter end, if she was going to drink.
