[You'll probably want to discuss the first votes a little more, since the results for the first night will come along with breakfast tomorrow morning (7PST Thursday) . . . but after that, maybe finding a quiet place to sleep—together, or separately.]

You're not that old. What if the student is around your age or older?

[contrapostasy]

I've worked in private language teaching companies, so that's happened, and it's still the same. It's simply not professional and an abuse of my position.

[burdenshared]

Sounds like you got plenty of students crushing on you.

[contrapostasy]

Most of them usually don't do anything about it.

[burdenshared]

Clearly they didn't like you that much.

[contrapostasy]

Obviously. It's not like I stuck around long enough, anyway!

[burdenshared]

Would you date a former student? I mean, assuming it's been a year or two and they're a legal adult.

[contrapostasy]

... why are you so stuck on this...

[burdenshared]

Because it makes you kind of prickly and I wanna see if there's more to it.

[contrapostasy]

Well, there isn't, end of discussion.

Maybe you'd do well with a more prickly person that I.

[burdenshared]

[he's not making an IYAAA SO FORCEFUL joke, but dear god he wants to.]

Maybe. I dunno, I guess talking about my power feels like less of a hurdle now.

[contrapostasy]

It'll get easier the more you open up.

[burdenshared]

It's just this group. Kinda hard to be cagey when I'm one of the closest to regular human here.

[contrapostasy]

True enough.

[burdenshared]

Wanting to stay dressed will still be a problem, but there's a chance my match isn't romantic so.

[contrapostasy]

Even if it was, I'm sure they'd understand. Though my offer remains no matter how it goes.

[burdenshared]

Can your thing fend off anxiety triggers?

[contrapostasy]

It's not a blocker. I could make you more open to being okay with it, though - which would probably do the trick.

[burdenshared]

... I'm honestly not sure of what purpose it would serve other than like, weird you out. I'm not against it, I just don't see anything good coming out of it.

[contrapostasy]

I wouldn't be weirded out. Mostly it's just to prove to you that you can be completely comfortable in your own skin, and still attractive to boot, even as scarred as it is.

[burdenshared]

These are not aesthetically pleasing scars, Jun.

[contrapostasy]

I figured. I still bet I can prove the point.

[burdenshared]

This is where your competitiveness is a problem. Fine, I'll take my shirt off, you keep yours on, and we see what happens.

[contrapostasy]

Agreed.

We should find a bedroom.
