[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!]

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.

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.
