[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[ That sounds like f o r e v e r to her. But important details must be clarified. ]

So it's not like - I mean, you're already at shagging, right?

[ ...shagging. innuendos go over her head but wait, she might know this one. ]

That... means sex, right?

Right. [ She nods. Awkward. After a beat she follows with a disclaimer, just in case of alien. ] Basically all I have is strictly earth-human advice?

[ She ends it in a question even though it really isn't one. Her own relationship knowledge is probably limited compared to other people, she consciously leaves that out. ]

[ OOC: When I said fourteen jumps, I meant five. I'm an idiot. I was drunk. I knew something looked wrong. Etc etc. ~~Kill me~~. ]

[ Well, yes. Earth-human would be the correct classification. Except she's never seen Earth. Just heard about it. Maybe. In stories and stuff. ]

Yes, we have been for a while now.

[ Cool, they can skip a few steps then - and she doesn't even know this girl, so she shrugs off any jealously before it ever hits her face (it's more pride at work than compassion). ]

Do you ever like do normal stuff for each other? Not like you can buy proper gifts or anything in this shithole, but you could cook for him - or try to. Stuff like that, you know? [ This place is kinda limited on ingredients. ] If you talk all the time then you already know what he's into.

Normal stuff? [ Obviously Cibo missed that 'cook-for-your-other' memo, because they've barely eaten together let alone cooked for each other. ]

I don't really know how to cook, but I think he might like that. Do you think there is anyone who could teach me?

[ Watching films and going out count too, but also an issue on a giant metal space bucket. ]

Put out another message or just hang around the kitchens, shouldn't be that hard to get someone to give you lessons. [ She hesitates for a moment then continues like that never happened, eyebrow cocked. ] I'm no top chef or anything, but I've got fuck-all to do usually. If you want to get together sometime I could show you simple stuff.

[ Normalcy is good. She misses normalcy - but she doesn't have the energy anymore to complain about that anymore. ]

[ Oh my god, Cibo is making new friends. This is exciting. And makes her smile. ]

I'd enjoy that actually! I'd like to be able to make anything for him.

[ She gives of a half smile of her own. ]

I'm Alisha, by the way. [ Important info. ] They've got me on the thirteenth floor. [ Her luck. ]

[ Oh, right. Names. ]

I'm Cibo. I'm on the ninth. Room fifty-eight, in case you ever need to find me!

Got it. [ She tilts her head just a bit. ] Unless he's a complete dick he'll appreciate whatever you do.

Yes. It's easy to make him happy. Just as easy to confuse him, but I don't think that'll be a problem...

Thank you so much for your help, Alisha. Please let me know when you'll be willing to teach me.
