The house upon entry seems like it may just be one big room, with the living room and dining rooms separate through only decorative arches and columns. The house looks much like the picture, with a small door off of the dining room leading into a modern, early 2000s kitchen. The bookcase in your house is built into the wall, with modest books about everything from investment practices to 50 Shades of Grey inside of it. There are lots of windows, and the interior is very bright: even the matching curtains can’t keep out most of the sunlight, but seem to do a decent job of protecting your modesty in the evening.. Off to the side of the living room there is a staircase leading up the floor above.

The upstairs floor looks almost like a duplicate of the bottom: columns and decorative arches separate single beds in the large area, with small curtains you can pull to give yourself some privacy. There are two bathrooms off of the back of the room (and one downstairs), all with normal American 2000s plumbing fixtures. One of your bathrooms also has a remarkably nice tub for some reason.

Exit out of a door on the second floor and you’ll find yourself on a nice second story porch, which has a set of stairs you can descend to reach your modestly-sized backyard, if you want to lay in the sun or sit out back.

Jo? Well... actually, I don't have a clue.

But age doesn't always mean equal, er.... naivety.

[bloodbiter]

That's true, but I wouldn't call her an adult by any stretch of the imagination.

[menially]

Then maybe this is just something popular on her world? I don't see how it would have ended up here otherwise...

[Casually.... flipping it open to a random chapter....]

[bloodbiter]

What does it say?

[menially]

[. . . well this is a blowjob scene so what the hell can he even read out loud from this passage that would be appropriate it any sense . . .

. . .though he has to stop and scoff a bit past his fluster at one line.]

Well, that puts it nicely.

"My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves."

[bloodbiter]

Are we supposed to know what that means?

[menially]

In context, sure, but...

[But I am not reading this out loud oh my god

Clears his throat!!!]

This is erotic fiction, Lace. So...

[bloodbiter]

That isn't... I, er, meant that I do not know what merengue or salsa are. I trust you wouldn't speak those words if they were... [explicit]

[menially]

Oh...! Right, well. I've heard of salsa - it's a type of dance. So I'm assuming between the two of them, it's a sort of metaphor.

A... little bit of a ridiculous one, but a metaphor nonetheless.

[bloodbiter]

[yes good subject change let's just cling to that]

I see! I didn't know, er, that you knew anything about dancing.

[menially]

I don't, really. Well, I don't think I do. Someone mentioned salsa as part of one of the games, way back.

Myself, well... I've never given it a lot of thought.

[bloodbiter]

Ah, I understand. I imagine you could find someone here to teach you, should you ever want to.

[menially]

You think so?

Mmm. Though, I can't imagine I'd be the best choice of a dance partner.

[bloodbiter]

Why's that?

[menially]

[BECAUSE!!!!! Ok no he's resigning a little...]

Well, it's not much fun if I can't dance at the hand of a lovely lady, you know?

[bloodbiter]

Mm. You know, I've quested for a variety of things, and I knw the echoes here can do many things with magic. It might be worth inquiring as to whether you can obtain something to make the fear lessen.

[menially]

You have to wonder. If they can completely swap our sex for a few days, who knows what else they can manage.

Though... [Pressing fingers to the bridge of his nose with a long sigh.] As convenient as it would be to have it lessened, I guess I could also explore just... getting over the fear itself. Not sure how, exactly, but I guess it's an option...

[bloodbiter]

Mm, you'd rather find a way to fix it yourself?

[a nod; that's something she can respect]

I understand. I think you'll be able to find a way.

[menially]

Maybe someday. Heh, it might be easier if I could remember when this even started, or why.

[A pause, before he shakes his head.]

Anyway. I won't lie, an easy way out would be... nice. But I'd rather operate under the assumption that an Echo's help is temporary. I won't have that luxury whenever I go home.

[bloodbiter]

Maybe you'll remember soon. I know Amalthea wins fairly often. Though I doubt it'll be very pleasant.

I think that's the wisest way to think of it.
