I think I am. Because it might make it easier for me to survive.

[unkindled_madness]

I am not opposed.

I have trained men before.

[helpdesk_hero]

If you're willing, I'd appreciate this.

[unkindled_madness]

We can make it an exchange.

You can teach me about Earth things.

[helpdesk_hero]

You wouldn't be my only student. Yeah, I can do that.

[unkindled_madness]

You have others?

[helpdesk_hero]

My boyfriend.

[unkindled_madness]

I see.

What manner of world is he from?

[helpdesk_hero]

You're presuming he isn't local?

[unkindled_madness]

I thought you meant that you were also teaching him about Earth.

[helpdesk_hero]

That's... A really good point I missed. Hilarious. Yeah, he doesn't know a lot about it. His world is a bit 'old fashioned' by my standards.

[unkindled_madness]

Technologically speaking?

[helpdesk_hero]

I'd say more but that's sorta his thing to share? But he didn't have internet.

[unkindled_madness]

Ah. I didn't realize it was sensitive.

At any rate, that is good to know.

[helpdesk_hero]

It's more respecting another person's privacy. I wouldn't tell him about you either. Not that I know things to tell really. Still, it's respect.

[unkindled_madness]

Yes. I understand that.

[He just doesn't equate facts about his world to private things about him.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Thanks for understanding.
