<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/WbGeR0F.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong><strong>Dominika Nikolaev</strong>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=308599.msg15061990#msg15061990)<br/><strong>Age:</strong>21<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Heteroflexible<br/><strong>Hometown:</strong>Moscow, Russia<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>5 July, 2019 | morning<br/><strong>Location:</strong>outdoor Kitchen<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>see image plus worn out white tennis shoes<br/><strong>Coupled with:</strong>No one<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Logan | Harlan<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Harlan offered to make Dom some food as well. “Sure and I can make you some good ole’ southern comfort food, good for the soul and the hips.” He winked finishing up his plate.<br/><br/>Dom winked back at Harlan and nodded,<strong>"This I would like very much. Most food I get in California is Mexican. I have yet to experience southern US food." She was eager to try something authentic herself. </strong><br/><br/>It wasn't intentional, but her attention was drawn back to Logan.  She was also interested in knowing Harlan as well but Logan had had her engaged. She was okay with that. Highly entertained by Logan, Dominika smiled and nodded at his reference to missing one thing from his life. This man was on the hunt for a partner. She liked that but kept silent about it only responding with her smile and nod. The conversation continued down the road of entertaining when he played along with her spy revelation. But his very western ideals of political correctness shone through when he talked about not lumping groups of people into one defining category. Still, Dom appreciated his desire to do right by people, to her that said something about his character that she liked.<br/><br/><em>“Double O to the second power.” Logan chuckled.</em><br/><br/>Dom let out a boisterous laugh at this, partly because it was in the nature of her culture to not hold back when they laughed, and because it tickled her nerdy math side.<br/><br/><em>Logan leaned in, smiling all the while. “I could make you your own plate of food and a cup of coffee. But it seems you prefer to share what I’m eating.” He reached out, stretching his arm out slightly so that his finger could gently swipe over her lips if she allowed him to do so. “I’m not complaining. I can share, so long as it’s food and drink. But… I find it hard to share much else, you should know.” </em><br/><br/>Parting her lips slightly she enjoyed the feeling of his thumb on her mouth. Bold. Dom liked it. Her own fingers found their way up to his beard, she tickled it with her nails, raking them along his jawline, finally letting a finger trail down along his neck before cascading down the front of his shirt. She grabbed at the edge of it along the bottom. Holding on to keep him close, giving it a little tug anytime his body swayed a little bit back. Like fishing, she gave him some lead then pulled him back in.<br/><br/><strong>"You must be finding this place a struggle yes? Everything is shared here,"</strong>Dom's eyes rolled as she visually gestured to the entirety of the villa.<strong>"I wonder how long before it becomes psychologically formed normative behavior for this, yes? We speak of stereotypes but some of these things are less media-driven and more psychological."</strong>Dom raised her brows wondering if she was going to show to much of her nerdy side in this conversation but she couldn't help herself because she loved a conversation with depth.<strong>"Is true that our brains take short cuts when identifying familiar faces and patterns of behavior. Often things that we see as stereotypical. They merge together and we take no notice. Instead, our brains fill gaps for us based on repeated visual and audio patterns. Did you know that if you briefly display two images of a person's face to someone? And if the skin tone, general hair color, and simple structure are similar your brain will see them as being the same or possibly related. It isn't until you study them closely that you see differences. This is not interesting part, yes. Most interesting is that the older you are, the more likely your brain is to make those leaps and the fewer details your memory will retain. Instead, memory of previous visual experiences fill in the gaps or differences that you failed to see in the beginning."</strong>She wondered at this point if she was boring him or losing his attention. Her eyes narrowed a little while she peered into his.<strong>"If I am making this sense, yes? But children rarely see likenesses in images and spot the differences faster. This is because they have less memory so fewer experiences to draw from. That means fewer assumptions and more accuracy in distinguishing differences. Their minds seek uniqueness to learn from. It is product of eidetic memorization. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory) Not to say all children do this but learning and distinguishing differences go hand in hand so child may absorb new knowledge visually. That is a universal learning behavior. This is why it is almost unheard of in adults to have a truly eidetic memory but is occasional in young children."</strong>Dom had stolen a few more sips of his coffee before giving it back at this point.<strong>"Now you are thinking that I am mad woman perhaps? I tell you this so I am telling you that I was such a child. I am thinking that now you are learning more of me... Also, some of what you hear about Russians is true. We are often tested, selected, and trained for specific education based on natural talents. Occasionally, stereotypes are accurate."</strong>She gave him a wink and plucked another bit of pancake from his plate.<strong>"I am also thinking that sharing your food is far more fun than having my own. Perhaps you are better at sharing than you think."</strong>Chewing pancake with a smile as she said it.<br/><br/><br/>
