"Oh! No, not at all. And who might you be?"

"I'm Audrey, I - saw you across the room and thought you looked..."

"Hot?"

"Lonely, actually."

"... It's both, really. I'm Aisha, by the way. How's your vacation going?"

"Um." A slight blush rises to her cheeks. "Well enough, I'd say."

"Oh, do you have a story to tell?"

"Well, um, I was a virgin two days ago, so... yes."

"Oh, I see! That must have been a fun time for you." She fidgets with a ring on her finger. 

Audrey glances down at the ring. It's on her left ring finger, inset with a diamond - 

"Are you married?" The question pops out of Audrey's mouth before she can stop it.

"Yes! My husband and I have an arrangement, you see - what happens in the Bowers, stays in the Bowers. I hope that's not - a problem?"

"Oh, not at all! I'm just surprised, is all. You think of the Bowers as a place for - singles, you know -"

"I guess I'm an exception to the rule!"

"We both are, I guess."

"Oh, how so? The virgin thing?"

"... That and my being trans."

"- wait, you - huh. I wouldn't have guessed."

"Assume True Persona is worth the money."

"I guess so! I don't want to be indelicate, but, uh..."

Audrey rolls her eyes and makes a "get on with it" motion with one hand.

"Do you have a penis."

"Yes."

"So you... decided to keep it, even though you'd rather be a girl...?"

"Well, actually..." 

She fishes out her hourglass pendant. 

"I go back and forth."

"More options is always better, huh?"
