[Cyril seems much better to anyone who happened to see him during his bender. He's put together once more, perfectly groomed and wearing something that compliments his frame. He seems cheerful, though a little thoughtful.]


I think I have a rather morbid question to ask, but one I find myself dwelling on recently. Bear with me...

If you knew you were facing your death, perhaps through illness or some magic that was slowly tainting your body, what would be the one thing you'd want to do?

When I try to think of my answer, all that comes to mind are lewd, shallow things. For once, perhaps, I'd like my answer to have more meaning. Perhaps hearing what you would do will help?

Why would these things be shallow just because they are lewd? Sexuality is a powerful force, one that transcends many things.

[samahl]

Something I would do well to remember and instantly feel less guilty about.

[sandywolf]

I believe the world would be much more relaxed in general if people stopped thinking of this as something shameful. Humans can be really strange about these things.

[Yes, he said 'humans' as if he were not including himself in the category, even though he looks like an adult human male himself.]

That being said, you can always look for another type of answer.But I don't think yours is inherently wrong either. Someone about to die would want a powerful connection, and sex is one way to get it.

[samahl]

I would like to point out that I am not human but that may be beside the point.

[sandywolf]

Oh, my apologies. I am unused to non-humans that are not supernatural, so I do not always notice unless I see people in person.

[It's not quite true, he noticed the ears, he just figured it was rude to ask and the rest of him looked human enough.]

[samahl]

It's all right. Though there are many other elves who would take offense, I don't mind. Some humans are nice.

[sandywolf]

yes, some of the are.

but I surmise it works for your kind much the same way it does for humans, or for my kind. So in the end, wanting a powerful and meaningful connection isn't a bad thing.

[samahl]

I think my issue is that I tend to want to avoid what others would call "meaningful" connection. I'm really rather shallow.

[sandywolf]

Is sex really something so meaningless to you?

[He's not asking to be rude, he's curious. He is a committed man now, and has been several times before, but he is also no stranger to sleeping around simply because it felt good at the time.]

In my experience, people who way this are not shallow. They are afraid.

[samahl]

Then I suppose I must be afraid. [Said in a way that sounds friendly and thoughtful, more than anything else.]

Sex is something I sometimes do with friends. Friendship is the meaningful part. Sex is just for fun.

[sandywolf]

You said it yourself. Friendship is the meaningful part. How could anyone call that shallow?

If in the end you value the relationships, does it really matter what word people use o describe it?

[samahl]

I suppose I should say that it doesn't.
