So, darlings.

A couple of things:

Firstly, I'm wondering what people have against one of the oldest professions? Yes, yes, I understand how young I am, but really is that your only objection?

Secondly, I am looking for a hand to hand sparring partner. While my sword skills are impressive, I'm afraid that my hand to hand has gone to the way side. I find that... unacceptable.

[ Her beating had brought that home. But she's not mentioning that. She adjusts herself in front of the console, wearing that ridiculously fluffy robe that she loves. Of course it's white. ]

So, darlings. Anyone willing to step up and answer either of those?

[celticromanstone]

Ah, well then. I'm not sure how to describe it. Nursing is medical training? Meaning I help heal other people. Whoring is... the act of reproduction for fun and profit?

[ten_zero]

[ Okay, let's try to figure this out.

Medical training: oh okay easy enough. Makes sense too, why that would be an old profession.

Reproduction for fun and profit? That ones tougher. Presumably she means natural human reproduction rather than the way it worked in the Orokin Empire. So putting two and two together... ]

So you have children for money. [ One step short, whoops. Honestly the idea of capitalism still doesn't sit well with her, so she doesn't think about things in a service-industry mindset. And she doesn't think about pleasure as a end-goal that most people spend resources for. A child is an investment, it makes more sense. ]

[ Heather stops, stares and sputters out a huge laugh. It'll take her a minute. Give her a sec. When she stops, she wipes her eyes. ]

No, darling, just the reproductive act. No children involved at all.

[ten_zero]

[ Well, now she's embarrassed. She thought she had that figured out. ]

So sex is... fun? As a means to its own end? [ Her knowledge of human reproduction was clinical at best. ]

[celticromanstone]

Absolutely. If it isn't, you aren't doing it correctly.

[ten_zero]

So you would pay someone who knows how to 'do it correctly.'

[celticromanstone]

Oh, I never pay for it, but I do get paid to do it correctly.

[ten_zero]

[ Bisi smiles in amusement. It has been more of a general 'you' than meaning Heather specifically. She found it amusing that Heather felt the need to correct her. ]

And there's a stigma against doing this?

[celticromanstone]

From the foreigners? Apparently so. Either that or they're satisfied with themselves, for the most part.

[ Way to be crass, Heather. ]

[ten_zero]

Ah, you're saying that foreigners don't patronize... you? [ She didn't know the best way to phrase that. ]

[celticromanstone]

They don't no. Which is rather distressing.

[ten_zero]

Well, I apologize. I wasn't aware the service existed up until now.

[celticromanstone]

Quite alright, dear. If you're interested, I can recommend someone for you?

[ten_zero]

I- [ Hmm, wow. It's a little different thinking about this intellectually, but now she's getting unreasonably nervous when she thinks about actually doing that herself! ]

Ah, I'm not... not entirely sure what all that even entails.

[celticromanstone]

[ Squint. Are you young or just innocent? The latter she can fix, the former not so much. ]

A night, worth a few juulan, with one of my male coworkers.

[ten_zero]

[ In this context that sounds terrifying. ]

No, I think- I think I'll pass, thank you.

[celticromanstone]

[ Heather shrugs. ]

Suit yourself, darling. The offer remains open.

[ten_zero]

Thanks...

[ So- ]

So then you're only looking for particular 'clients' yourself, then?

[celticromanstone]

Oh, I'm always on the prowl for clients, it's part of the profession.

[ten_zero]

Yes, but I was wondering what the criteria was.

You offered to find me someone rather than take me on yourself.

[celticromanstone]

Ah, well, I generally prefer not to take on younger clients? And you are female, correct? I prefer male clients as well.
