[UN: swordcandy | Video] [CW: Talk of sex/virginity.]

[He gives a big stretch, his arms over his head, and then he relaxes with a groan. From this angle, he looks like a lounging feline, always up to no good.]

It feels nice to have breathing room, doesn't it? [Bringing a bottle of something that probably isn't juice or water to his lips, he drinks deeply before flashing a bright smile.]

I want to do a headcount - and this isn't serious so keep your complaints to yourself:

How many of you are virgins? Be honest! Some of you are young enough that you should be.

[Unless they've lived a life like his, that is!]

[ oh god. the network is suddenly as bad as the internet. ]

Is that number important for some reason?

[cultivatingsin]

It's important to me. [He says that, on the verge of pouting.] Why is it such a big deal?

Re: video

[100more]

Why would that be important to you?

[ He very much doubts it is. ]

It doesn't impact your life in any way. But you said it's important, so why is it such a big deal to you?

Entertainment.

[People squirm and he finds it amusing.]

I'm around a bunch of strangers. I need juicy details to get closer to them.

Re: video

[ There's a lot wrong with those statements. ]

And... you think asking sensitive questions for your own entertainment is how you get closer to people?

[ Clearly, this is not the way to go about it, but this person does not seem to realize that. Or doesn't actually care to know others that much. ]

[...just another normal day for Xue Yang!]

It's one way. [Plus he has had a drink and this amuses him.] I'm wondering how many people have the guts to be honest.

[100more]

But, don't you think it's hard to make friends with people by provoking them? They might respond, but you're not actually getting close to anyone. You might have more success with some different methods.

[cultivatingsin]

I didn't want to make friends with them. [Especially if they are so easily offended.] I know who I am and what I am. If they can't handle it, it's best if they stay away.

[100more]

Oh, I see. Sorry.

[ Hob supposes not everyone wants to have relationships with others, but he thinks it must be lonely. At least, Hob would be. ]

[cultivatingsin]

For what? [His voice shifts the slightest bit. Is that...some vulnerability?]

[100more]

It's just that... if it's best people stay away, that sounds lonely. I once thought that might work best for me, but I guess I like people too much.

[cultivatingsin]

It's safer, too. [His ability to trust was compromised when he was little. It has only gotten worse with age.] What happens when those people you like so much betray you?

[100more]

It's always possible something will go wrong, but when you meet someone that truly loves you, it was worth the risks.

[cultivatingsin]

It's still a weakness. Loving, being loved - it can all be used against you and then you can regret everything.
