I have three gallons of liquid sugar.

They are free, you need only pick them up if you've need of them. If you are going to use them for some asinine purpose that will irritate me in the future, don't bother speaking up.

[dragonfall]

Do you not produce enough Chroma normally?

[ Asked bluntly because Estinien has no tact. ]

[mingyues]

[ lmao, i love ]

Ah. No? No. Why would I?

[dragonfall]

It isn't terribly difficult to participate in sex, given the incentives. Have you no partners?

[mingyues]

It

No.
Yes.
I

I would just prefer not to.

[dragonfall]

Why not? Is it not to your taste?

[mingyues]

I
I do not like to think of moonlacing and sex together.
They're not
For me they're not the same thing at all.

[dragonfall]

As I understood it, sex was an intimate act. The most intimate possible.

That has been my experience.

[mingyues]

Yes, exactly
So
To perform such an act with just the purpose of chroma
I

It is not an act I wish to participate in.

[dragonfall]

Then do so for your personal enjoyment. The Chroma in that case is not the goal, but a beneficial largess.

Surely there is a partner that suits you, that you might welcome their company.

[mingyues]

If it is not too bold to ask, do you enjoy participating in it for...personal enjoyment?

It
It's a complicated matter of personal believes. My lifestyle before this place does not leave room for
that.

[dragonfall]

Mm. Yes.

When it is in a time and place of my choosing, with a partner of my choosing, then I have come to enjoy such dalliances.

If it is any help to you, my own lifestyle did not allow for such things before, either. If I was not on the battlefield, then I was in my own company and no other's.

[mingyues]

I see.

I am sorry to burden you with these thoughts, I just.
How did you manage to find a balance?
Do you not feel like you are betraying a part of yourself?
My life back home was dedicated to training and fighting evil, protecting the common people.
This almost makes me feel selfish.

[dragonfall]

There is more to a man than his duty.

That would be true here, or anywhere. You are the summation of your duties and your desires and so long as one does not compromise the other, you are allowed both. An evening with a partner does not so incapacitate me as to make me unable to fight come the morn.

And to be entirely frank, neither you nor I can see to our proper responsibilities here, regardless of what we desire or how we feel.

[mingyues]

You speak the truth it is just
part of my training requires...
purity of mind and body. Mostly. We are supposed to be above these acts to focus on training.

Thank you, your words are
They have given me much to consider too.

[dragonfall]

In that, I cannot help you. I am no monk nor priest, only a soldier.

If you've the need, I can be contacted on these devices. My name is Estinien.

[mingyues]

You have already helped me, I am very grateful for your words and experience.

I'm Xiao Xingchen, it is a pleasure to meet you. If you ever need anything feel free to contact me as well.
