Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

Might be best. Or, you know, creches are actually fine? I do okay in a creche environment, twice?
That's why I asked. If you'd rather stay in your world until you're an adult we can wait until then.

Not necessarily till I'm an adult, but till I'm - stably opinionated. Maybe scoop me up when I'm nine or ten and then give me all my notes. - I have no idea if sexual orientation is "stably men only" or, like, "random", Aly was straight.
Let's try not to find out. Unless discreet enquiries to try to find others like you in your world seem worthwhile.

I will brainstorm ways to ask without looking insane enough to sabotage all nearby projects. Maybe I'll write a novel or something.
When he does Maitimo will feel better about asking him out. He just barely restrains himself from saying this.
That would be exciting.

They play Governor that evening. The festival finally concludes, with another concert. Fëanáro occasionally writes with questions about golem programming. And Findekáno asks him out again, to a historical drama that's been frowned out of performance in the city's main venues but is hosting underground shows.
It is a very good and only mildly provocative historical drama, unless there's subtext he's missing and the playwright is implying that Tirion's King was involved with his male counterpart in another city-state, in which case it's probably more than mildly provocative.
secondchance
Kib does not have social unacceptability goggles on today, so he asks Findekáno about that.
That is the reason it was unofficially banned. It's not - going sufficiently far out of its way to not imply that, you could say. Did you enjoy it?
secondchance
I'm not angry with you, I'm just a little cooled off. If this state were likely to persist I wouldn't have gone out with you today at all.
I would enjoy taking you to theatre events and up the wall even if you expected to persistently be disinterested in sex. For what that's worth.
secondchance
Well, Kib says, I might have gone to the play but I would have clarified that it wasn't a date.
