"...hm?"

"....then I guess that'd be another person whose opinion would matter? I don't care either way, right, none of my business."

"...why? Are you - using the word 'girlfriend' in a bizarre way, or - "

"Maybe? The word in Osirian is different - uh, some people pursue romantic and sexual relationships with people of the same sex."

Permalink

" - okay, right, but not - married people don't have other relationships? Not while they're married?"

Permalink

"If they want to?"

"And you're just - fine with that?"

Permalink

" - yeah? Like, it's considered a pretty bad sign if a man is getting jealous of his wife's girlfriends."

Permalink

"I thought adultery was illegal."

Permalink

"...it is."

"...okay. When use words, if you have sex with someone while you're married to someone else, that's adultery. Unless - I guess some people feel that it's fine to have sex with other people as long as your spouse doesn't care, is that what this is - ?"

" - no? I mean, I guess it's less bad but it's still really bad! Uh, adultery in Osirion is understood as a married woman having relations with a man not her husband, or a married man having relations with a woman not his wife."

Permalink

" - okay. Chelish people don't, like, distinguish based on gender, there."

Permalink

" - huh."

Permalink

"I guess it doesn't, like, matter, it just means I have no inclination to look for anyone else while I'm - here. Not that I had any before anyway.

 

" - are you gonna - "

Permalink

"I don't - I want you to feel important and be happy."

Permalink

" - okay. I don't - it did not actually occur to me that that would be an ask."

Nodnodnod. "I'm glad we bumped into it now. I don't think it's a very big problem but I want to think about it a little bit before I say we can definitely do the Chelish thing? If we were married I would just say that, of course, but - since we are not."

Permalink

"Mhmm. I - I dunno if I have a hard line around it but - I'd wanna think about it."

Permalink

"I think..... sometimes it does really important things for people? And I'd want to think through how I was sure that those really important things would happen otherwise. - and Mahdi will be very annoyed if Fazil and I both marry foreigners with different monogamy norms and drop him at the same time but this is a secondary consideration really."

Permalink

" - oh wow, are you all - I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, s'not funny. Uh. I - that makes sense."

Permalink

Patpat. "'s not - very notable. Adventuring parties spend lots of time out on their own away from the rest of the world -"

Permalink

"Sure, yeah, it makes a lot of sense. - I am mostly just finding it unbearably funny that I spent some amount of time assuming that I was the sluttiest member of the group on the grounds that I, I dunno, occasionally spoke to people alone."
