voice; 001

[tekhartha]

I had never given much thought to sexual intimacy before I arrived here.

[The soft, sonorous thrum of Zenyatta's voice comes drifting across the network like a cloud on the wind, punctuated haphazardly by the faintest of chimes as his orbs circle, unseen. His tone is carefully neutral, curious and undemanding, as he continues.]

When my omnic brothers and sisters liberated ourselves, some among us chose to forsake such human forms of sexual gratification as symbolic of our subservience; our bodies were built for the use of humans, and our ability to feel physical pleasure merely a supplement to human pleasure. To use them as free, sentient beings was to agree that we were little more than shallow imitations of our creators.

I had not considered my own path at all, until now- and, for my ignorance, it is all I can think about for a few days each month!

[Wryly amused for a second there before he continues. If he is being perfectly honest there is one person in particular who is driving him to distraction, but... he hums.]

I believe I would like to try it for myself, under the right circumstances, yet I find myself-- quite unsure. Would any of you be so kind as to share your own first experiences? [brightly:] "Virginity" is merely a social construct, of course, but I am sure each of you has a story you might care to tell!

[Ah, Genji! He should have known you would turn up sooner or later! Considering how many private moments and intimacies they have shared over their time together, he should be surprised that this is not one of them- but then, Zenyatta supposes, he must have always seemed quite chaste to his pupil, and perhaps he was so, albeit inadvertently.

It is food for thought, but for another meal. The first story is charming, bringing to mind that bold, handsome young man he'd seen so many times in the photo on Genji's dressed; the second...]

How artless of you! [Tsk tsk. He's teasing, of course.] If I were that young man I would never speak to you again.

[wireable]

It was a bit rushed but we had fun!

[ he defends it. it was two young men kissing and basically dry-humping in a well-kept arcade bathroom. not the most romantic - genji wasn't very much a romance kind of person when he was younger. ]

Although I suppose that did come to pass - we fell out of favor with each other eventually.

[ more like the pressure of genji's family scared the young man off, despite genji's blase attitude towards it. ]

I promise I am much better at romancing now.

[tekhartha]

[This time Zenyatta cannot hide behind mock-gravity; he outright giggles at Genji's objection, though when he speaks he at least has the grace to sound somewhat wistful for him and his juvenile dramas.]

So turns the wheel- but you left him with sweet memories. I am sure it was not an event he soon forgot.

[As for now...]

Of all your skills, I must confess, I have never seen you exercise that particular one.

[wireable]

I remember Ishiki and him both fondly, so I have very little regrets regarding them.

[ more regrets for his behaviours after that.

zenyatta says he's never seen him practice it, and genji chuckles again, a little abashed. ]

I have not had much of a chance to exercise it when we are together. When I do, it is usually in writing...

[ he sent an awful lot of letters to one angela ziegler, you dig. ]

But I was very focused on sex in my youth. As an adult, I realized that it is not necessary for me to utilize it to have strong relationships.

[ he and zenyatta have never done such things, and yet genji knows zenyatta is one of the most important people to him. ]
