Yeah. So. Wth?

First off. Someone on Pandora's box compared me to an author I'd never heard of despite the fact the author is SF. I was pissed.

There's a freaking SF author who has written a lot of stuff and I haven't heard of them? Blasphemy!

I can't really find information about her books though so I was sort of like. Okay

Secondly. I wrote this then turned into a conversation in real life about women parts. Yes, I am female, yes, I have lived a very ... 'sheltered' life. But the whole bit where I wrote this and THEN we got into a conversation about ... basically this and I didn't start it... was like. Wtf.

Chat tomorrow morning. If I'm a bit late, please forgive me, though I highly doubt it.

Read, Review and Enjoy.





“I… may have told Rel he could be moved to the program building,” Mik said with a wince as he poured Paw his morning tea.

Paw looked baffled for a moment, eyes moving from the tea, to Lillow and back up to Mik, “who?”

“One of the males…”

“Oh. Oh… that may be bad,” Paw murmured, “though male has almost stopped screaming. Which is strange,” Paw frowned and picked up his tea, sipping it as Lillow settled into the chair beside Paw, “but not completely abnormal. He’s been taken from an environment of daily torture and to one of calm where everything he could want is given to him. He should be suspicious and not trusting yet he is. Odd for one so abused, no?”

Paw waited for Mik to reply, as if the man would know such things. Mik poured Lillow a cup of tea and handed it to the teenager to buy himself some time.

“I. Guess.”

The Sidhe blinked and turned to Lillow instead. The girl shrugged her shoulders and sipped her tea, giving Mik a pointed look. Mik poured himself a cup of tea and set the kettle on the table so that any of them could refill their cups as they wanted.

They had eaten a nice, light breakfast and then somehow stayed at the table. Paw had drifted about, moving off the dishes and Lillow had played with the mesa on the table top and Mik had made tea. They just sort of. Drifted together. And stayed there. Even though it was likely time for Mik to head to work, even though Paw and Lillow really should have been down in the community floor.

“Will I have to tell him now?” Mik asked Paw, “it was sort of, off the handle, not thinking. I was upset and-”

“No. Mik,” Paw looked flustered, turned his cup about as if adjusting it so that he could reach the handle more easily, “no. Allow us time to speak with the others. With the Elders. While he is not tribe, it is the tribe that may be put into danger and thus the Elders need to discuss it, agreeable?”

“Yes,” Mik worried what the Elders might decide. Souse had been very clear that he wasn’t going to risk his members for anything. Would that mean that Rel and Mm would be stuck at the program building indefinitely?

“Good,” Paw nodded and then sipped his tea. The Sidhe pressed his lips together as if considering something for a moment, “Lillow needs to learn about sex.”

“She… didn’t learn before. In. The wild?” Mik was surprised that he managed to not sound like he was scared witless about the idea. Teaching a Sidhe about sex? That was like… like. Showing a boy where the pornography channel was and then telling him not to look at it! Or. Something like that.

“She learned some. But there are holes in what she knows.”

Mik bit his bottom lip and glanced at Lillow. She was going bright red. Lillow was obviously uncomfortable with the topic of the conversation.

“What kind of holes?”

“Like how to attract a male.”

“She’s got that pretty much covered, if you haven’t noticed the giant male who follows her around like a lost puppy dog, I think you need glasses. Or. Telescopes installed into your eyes.”

“Other males,” Paw stressed this as if it were very, very important, “There are a few near her age which she could play with-”

“As in have sex with.”

“Who have good blood.”

“Paw.”

“It’s completely normal for a Sidhe female of her age to have casual sex with boys her age and she has none whatsoever. I worry about her growth, her maturing.”

“Paw…”

“If she doesn’t have sex with others, how will she know that Hohi is doing it right?”

“Auhi.”

“What?” Paw blinked at Mik innocently, “it’s true.”

“If Hohi doesn’t do it right, how many tribe members will kill him, gut him, render him useless or maim him in some way or form? If Hohi doesn’t perform as well or better for Lillow as he did for Taln, what are our rights as parents?”

“Well… yes. That’s all well and good but if she doesn’t know that it’s bad sex…”

“You can tell,” Mik muttered, almost disgusted as he sipped his tea. He thought of the last bad sex he had had, “trust me. You can tell the difference between bad sex and good sex.”

“It’s not just about poke and hump and female orgasms!” Paw snapped, slapping his hand on the table.

Mik and Lillow shared a look before Lillow said, “it’s not?”

“No.”

“Then what’s it about? You’ll have to excuse the question as our sex is often a poke and hump and one of us orgasms,” Mik muttered, giving Paw a look that told the Sidhe he was on dangerous ground.

“Often, but not always. Sometimes not poke, hump and orgasm. See. To get female preggers apparently the,” Paw launched into Sidhe, describing bits of female anatomy that made Lillow turn bright red and that Mik guessed at. Paw had never taught Mik the words for female anatomy as they weren’t exactly necessary to the pair of them. Mik would never really encounter a female Sidhe to use such words on and while Paw might, he was not about to talk to Mik about the bits.

When Paw finished, Lillow was looking into the bottom of her mug, obviously upset. Mik bit his top lip and looked at Paw.

“Are you aware that…” he started, meaning to tell Paw about Lillow being molested.

“Don’t you fucking dare,” Lillow hissed out at Mik.

“Now I do,” Paw muttered, an annoyed tone to his voice. He looked at Lillow and sighed, “thinking of the thoughts and the seeing and the understanding.”

Lillow sighed loudly, “but when people know-”

“Changes issue from Lillow not being accepting, from Lillow being frigid to Lillow needing a strong male for first time. Not Hohi.”

“I can have who I-”

“No,” Paw gave his head a shake, “first time, like after long time, cause pain. Paw will not have Lillow associating that with Hohi.”

“But after…” Lillow sounded confused.

“Maybe,” Mik said quickly, “we should go find Essuan and Essuan can explain a bit about long time without sex. Or… better yet, my mother. She went a really long time without sex.”

“Ohhhh,” both Sidhe looked at Mik, seemingly liking the idea.

Mik realised too late that he shouldn’t have said ‘we,’ he should have said ‘you,’ he never liked talking with women about sex. Too embarrassing, too. Too much information about stuff that he didn’t really care about.

Because he didn’t like women.

Though. Considering the fact that he had a teenaged daughter, he doubted he had any choice about learning about the parts of a woman.
