No problem! I'm glad you had a good time. :D

- Cissie

I did. It was amazing, Cissie! Best birthday ever!

As it should be!! ♥ Birthdays are super-special so they deserve super-special celebrations.

I hope you liked your gift, by the way. [Said birthday present was a boxed collection of young adult books - specifically, this world's equivalent of The Babysitter's Club (teenage girls babysitting, hilarity ensues).]

Right! I'll need to find out when yours and Eugene's is. And Touma and Edward.

I did! I hadn't read those books before. I'm almost finished the last one.

I don't know about the others, but mine was back in March, LOL. I was born March 10th. :)

Oh I'm glad! They didn't have it in my world, but they had something similar, and I read them all the time when I was a kid.

Oh. I guess I've missed yours then. I'll just have to think of something really amazing for your Graduation then!

I only had three books back home, so the library here and the books you gave me are amazing!

Aww but you don't have to! :) Just being there's more than enough for me.

Oh wow, really? I had no idea. I'll have to buy you more books, haha.

I want to, if I can think of something special.

Yeah. I'm working towards reading everything in the library around classes and everything else but that will keep me busy enough for now I imagine.

If you insist! ♥ LOL I won't stop you.

Probably but it's always cool to actually own the stuff you really like.

I'll see if I come up with something.

It's definitely nice to own it yourself!

haha okay :) we're still going out for dinner though! You, me, Eugene, Maria, Touma, Edward... it'll be fun!

Dinner would be great, yes!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate. Not without some kind of party, at least. [Plus, Cissie doesn't really WANT a party.]

Exactly. It doesn't need to be anything big and fancy.

Yeah :) I'm not going away so there's no need for that.

I'm still really excited about this internship! Can't believe Dr. Kadowaki's letting me be an apprentice counselor!!

Well, you have no plans to, at least.

That would be neat! So you'd just intern here at Garden?

That's the plan! I'd have to figure out my hours with Touma, since I want to focus more on the psychology than the medicinal stuff, but I'll basically work as a counselor under Dr. Kadowaki's supervision.

If people're feeling stressed or tired or whatever, then they can come talk to me. I don't bite and I'll have chocolate in the infirmary. :D

I'm sure if you talk to them you can figure something out where you can do both.

Sounds good to me! I'm sure you'll be great, Cissie. You've already been helping me a lot, at least.

Really? I'm glad but you've helped me out just as much :) I don't know what I would've done without you some days.

Of course you have. Actually, there was something I wanted to ask you about. Well, I was going to ask Eugene but he said to talk to you about it.

Sure thing! :o What's up? Or well, what do you want to ask me>

I'm not sure if this might be better in person or not? If it's something Eugene didn't seem to want to talk about, I mean. So if I remember, I'll ask next time I see you, or you can come see me in my room at some point?

If he didn't want to talk about it, maybe. :/ I'm free anytime this week so come on in!

Artemis might be around but she's usually in the Training Center in the evenings.

Okay then. I will come by sometime later this week in the evening. That works.

Okay, see you then :) I'll make extra cookies!

[And later that week Rapunzel does show up at Cissie's room, knocking and waiting, trying to ignore that Pascal seems less than amused at the situation but curious. Eugene had said to ask Cissie, so that's what she was doing. She wouldn't have known to ask Cissie what the word had meant if he had not mentioned it in the first place.]

[As soon as she can, Cissie opens the door and grins.] Hey! Come on in.

[She steps to the side to let Rapunzel in. Like she promised, she made extra cookies (and milk) that're sitting on the countertop.] So what'd you wanna talk to me about?

Hi. [She gives a small wave, entering as Cissie steps aside to let her in, considering how to start. How to ask. Somehow she gets the feeling it might be best that she asked to see Cissie in person about it. She takes a cookie, biting it and swallowing her mouthful before sitting down on one of the chairs.]

Eugene mentioned a word I wasn't sure of before. We were talking about my birthday and how he said he would restrain me if I tried to help and saw any surprises. I told him I was probably better at that than he was, you know, with my hair.

[Might be starting to mumble a little as she runs her free hand through her hair before shaking her head and shrugging her shoulders.]

Anyway, um, he asked me if I knew what the word 'kinky' meant. I said I didn't and he told me to ask you.

He what.

[It's a good thing Cissie sat down before Rapunzel started talking, else she might've hit something in frustration. Goddamit Eugene! Why did he leave her to talk about this? God, and she thought Mother Gothel must've given Punz the Talk, but considering her friend's track record...

Cissie's not sure how she manages to smile, even though she wants to facepalm and wonder why she's the one explaining this to her.]

Uh... the short version is, "kinky" is a word that's only talked about during sex. You... do know what that is, right?

Mother might have mentioned it but it's not really something she seemed to worried about explaining?

[For obvious reasons, given it was a non-issue as far as Gothel was concerned since it was just her and Rapunzel at the tower and all.]

I mean, she sort of told me a little when I was growing up but it didn't really come up after that. I'm not really seeing what it has to do with my hair.

[Pascal is pretty much mutual but then he has never really liked Gothel, and figures the chances are that Cissie would be better than Gothel trying to scare Rapunzel explaining it.]

[Ah, right. Gothel wouldn't have needed to explain it if men weren't coming and going into the Tower...

Cissie feels dirty just thinking about how to explain this.] Well, when a guy and a girl like each other, they have this thing called sex. It's something pretty intimate and reserved for when you really like someone... mainly because it's much more personal than kisses. [On the upside, if Rapunzel doesn't know what it is, Eugene probably isn't taking advantage of her.]

You've tie people up with your hair before, right? It might've turned Eugene on. That's... pretty much what a kink is; it's something you do during sex that makes you or your boyfriend or husband or whoever really happy.

Oh....

[She takes a moment, considering all this. If it involved a guy, it would make sense that Gothel hadn't explained this; she had never expected Rapunzel to meet anyone else besides her, after all.]

Eugene didn't seem to like being tied to the chair when I first met him though. But...I think I get it?

You also weren't trying to seduce him the first time. I hope. [Why is she actually having this conversation with her best friend... there are some things you talk about with your friends, but she's not sure this is one of them.]

Some guys're into that kind of thing. Eugene might've not appreciated it at first if you meant it violently, but he could be interested in it now...

Well, no. If that's what he meant with that 'smoulder', it was more him trying something.

[Rapunzel had been clueless, merely raising a questioning eyebrow at his attempted seduction. She's not sure whether Eugene mentioning this and telling her to talk to Cissie about it means he would be interested or merely trying to teach her, unsure on explaining this himself.]

Well, I guess he might. The first time I just wanted to restrain him while I asked him what he was doing, how he had found me and the tower.

Smoulder?

[She's not sure she wants to know, considering what kind of guy Eugene is and how clueless Punz is about these kind of things. Still, she's starting to relax - if only a little bit.]

Wait, he actually climbed up into your tower? [she can't help laughing] That's kinda impressive. That thing's supposed to be pretty high up, right?

[She nods.] That's what he said. He said I gave him no choice, that he had to use it and made some face at me.

[And here would be where Rapunzel tries to imitate his expression before she had moved and caused the chair to fall down.]

It was pretty high. I think he used these arrows to help him climb up, that was how he was getting down, anyway....
