Benny considers denials and deflections for a moment, but she knows this topic won't simply drop.  And that innocence, that naivete.  Even in this horrific situation, it's enough to get her so hot all over again, and after all her fantasies about what Maddy must look like beneath that armor?  She may as well not be wearing anything at all, as Benny superimposes her own detailed imaginings on the half-elf's body.  She winces and stifles a moan as her hand defies her beneath the blankets, turning the false confidence of cover against the young soldier as her fingers toy with her clit, reminding her of the hunger yet left unsated.<br/><br/>A vision of a calm, cool, collected Benny would do passes through her mind.  She would stand up, unashamed and unafraid, she would walk up to Maddy and hold her close, and explain with her own two hands.  She would guide her in using her little metal friend, and they would share a long, exhausting night of unbridled passion in each others' arms.<br/><br/>The Benny that lives and breaths in reality, however, has one hand glued to her clit while the other slides down into her pack, pulling out a thick, well-marked textbook written in dwarven.  The title translates, simply,<em>Intercourse: Volume I</em>.  She tosses it towards the foot of the bed, and simply croaks, still stifling moans, "A-a-appendix C... section III.  Page 137..."  None of the information in that book had names to her.  That made what she was doing far too real.  Rather, everything had a chapter number, a section number, a paragraph number, and if it wasn't in the book, she imagined it in an extra appendix filed away in her own mind.<br/><br/>In this text, Appendix C exists solely for basic familiarity with human traditions regarding intercourse.  Section III explains the alien concept of 'single-person intercourse' with regards to females, in explicit detail, complete with pictures, diagrams, technical specifications of various implements, common practices when performing 'single-person intercourse,' and qualitative accounts of what humans describe 'single-person intercourse' as feeling like, and an extensive moral diatribe about how 'single-person intercourse' is shameful and unproductive and should not be practiced by any self-respecting professional.  It's extremely thorough, even including a brief blurb that Benny had completely forgotten about mentioning the unusual phenomena of humans fantasizing about a second person during 'single-person intercourse' and often saying their name repeatedly during the act, which is treated in the text as adultery and hypocrisy.
