[ It's been a while since Cibo put herself on the network, hasn't it? She's a little nervous looking, which is different because what she wants to ask is something she knows nothing about. That makes her a little embarrassed for no real reason actually. I mean, it's totally understandable that she doesn't know about— ]

What is a girlfriend supposed to do for a boyfriend? [ And why isn't she asking Scout? Because he probably doesn't know either. They're both a little clueless on this. Baby steps and what not. ] We already talk to each other and... [ You know. ] I just don't know if we should be doing anything different now.

I've never been in this sort of relationship before, so...

[ What is dating even supposed to be like? She has no clue.

With a little smile the video ends. ]

You talk to each other. ... Please don't tell me that's all.

[watashinonamaewa]

Well... We also have sex. [ Blunt. Excuse her. ] Should we be doing something else too?

[yardbird]

[Murphy's first thought is "Scout? SCOUT? Better not be Scout." And then "It's probably Scout." Those thoughts are then followed by a resounding "Fuck."]

...

Uh, Cibo?

[Fuuuck.]

[ Murphy! She's so happy to hear your voice. That means you want to help give her advice, right? :D ]

Yes, Murphy?

Give one another manicures.

[watashinonamaewa]

[ give one another...whaaaaat ]

Manicures...?

voice.

[shoyu]

Ah, young love! Well -- I suppose the old standbys would be long walks through the hallway, holding hands? Or romantic dinners together in a quiet spot?

[watashinonamaewa]

[ It makes her happy to hear from you, Soy! Listen to that smile! ]

Scout doesn't like to move slowly, so I'm not sure walks would be best... But I can ask him about dinner. We haven't done that yet!

[breathalyser]

[ She notices the nervousness and makes the decision to private this. ]

How long you been with him?

[watashinonamaewa]

[ Cibo doesn't mind at all. Maybe some things are best kept private anyway. She just doesn't have that concept down to a fine art yet... ]

He was the first person I met when I woke up. That was fourteen jumps ago, I think.

[ like Raven honestly has aNY IDEA ]

I don't think there's anything you're supposed to do. You're with him because you like spending time with him and talking to him, right? So. Why change anything? Especially here, it's not like there are too many options for a romantic getaway or anything.

[watashinonamaewa]

[ Bird of a feather, am I right? ]

I assumed that's what we should do. I just wanted to make sure before I forgot to do something I didn't know about.

What exactly do you mean by romantic getaway though? Maybe he would like that...

[skindeep]

Be his friend. I can't think of anything more important than that.

[watashinonamaewa]

That's what I thought at first. Thank you.

There is no set "supposed to" for this kind of thing.

"Boyfriends" and "girlfriends" simply evolved as a ridiculous system for humans to carry out their reproductive instincts.

[watashinonamaewa]

I understand that the titles may be the result of human society simply naming their process, but does that mean that I should not do something special for him? I still feel compelled to even though I know it is not for reproduction.

[fuckinghysterical]

[Never mind the fact that LB has never been in a relationship, she is so determined to help her friend in this.]

Well -- eheheh -- if I had a boyfriend, I'd make sure that he was safe. You know, if he wasn't strong enough to take care of himself. [Granted, LB probably wouldn't ever go for someone that couldn't protect themselves.] Does he have any enemies? Because you should probably make sure he doesn't have any enemies.

[watashinonamaewa]

Although I think Scout is able to handle himself here on the ship, I would still do whatever I could to protect him.

[ Well, now that she thinks about it— ] But he most likely has a few... [ I mean, it's Scout. ]

[learnedtosmile]

[God what even, why is he responding to this?

Oh, right. Because he's in a new relationship, too.]

I think talking is good. I think - listening is good, too. Just... being there for each other. This place is tough, just having someone to relax around is... nice.

[watashinonamaewa]

[ Blaaaake! :D She's over the same-face thing, don't worry. ]

Yes. I was hoping that there wouldn't be much that I would have to do different around him. We usually have a good time just doing what we normally do. Maybe I was just worried that I would have to do more now that we gave each other these titles...

[ Also. ]

It is good to see you again.

This is a complex and difficult question that's hard to answer without knowing both parties. Otherwise you will only get generalist advice.

Also I assume you have a specific, boyfriend-related reason for asking.

Text | ohmygodiloveyou♥

[watashinonamaewa]

I do realize it was a broad question, but I am actually looking for anything as a response. I have never had a relationship like this before so I'm not sure of what my responsibilities are meant to be. Anything at this point helps.

So far, I have been told that 'romantic' getaways and dinners are normal. Except I do not understand exactly what is romantic and I do not know how to cook. Hopefully I can learn these quickly...

Pleasure him sexually.

[watashinonamaewa]

We have been doing that since I arrived.

Unless there is more that I should do? I feel that I am still inexperienced...

[executiveassistant]

[wow this is just an affront to her life.]

The question is not 'what should I do for my boyfriend', but rather 'what should my boyfriend do for me'.

Video |

[watashinonamaewa]

I don't really mind what Scout does for me. I'm happy knowing that he's safe.

[ but... ]

Is there something that I should want him to do for me...?

[felinely]

[ she sat and listened to the others long enough.


sooo... ]

I'm in agreement with the red head [ which yes, has her faintly smiling at (she doesn't agree very often) ]

You really should be asking yourself what you want out of this relationship and not asking what you should be doing.

Video |

[watashinonamaewa]

I agree too. Like I mentioned, I don't really mind what I get in return. As long as we are both happy with each other.

So far there hasn't been a problem. I just wanted to start doing more for him. It would be nice if he did the same though...

I'm going to talk to him about it.
