I have a question.  How do you know when someone is flirting with you?  I just do not understand flirting at all so I do not know how to recognize it.  Or how to even flirt.  It never really seemed like such an important thing.  But apparently it is?

I mean, for us sylvari we are blunt.  If we like someone we tell them.  We do not see a reason to beat around the bush, you could say.    But it seems to be a thing the other races do.

[Silence for a few moments, as if she's debating on adding anything else.]

We have some new arrivals again.  Hello!  I hope you can find a way to make this place feel like home.

Well, yes, but sometimes silly is fun.

[nonedible]

That is true.

[gunsling]

And that's the whole point of flirting in the end. For as confusing as it can be when you're first starting off, it's all meant to be fun.

[nonedible]

Yeah. But I still don't get how to tell if someone is flirting with me.

[gunsling]

Well what sort of behaviors have been going on that make you unsure about all this?

[nonedible]

It's just experiences in the past. Back home there would be many men that would try but I didn't understand so they became frustrated with me. Sometimes angry.

[This also happened a couple times while on that mission before everything went crazy.]

[gunsling]

Woah there! Now I can understand wanting a good flirting partner, but there's no reason for them to get hostile towards you for it!

[nonedible]

I...think they might have been angry because I take things so literal.

[gunsling]

Oh, well I could see how that might wear a bit on one's nerves. Still, a little bit of an overreaction on their parts.

[nonedible]

I suppose so.

[gunsling]

I'm sure in the future just giving a forewarning when people start to flirt with you should be more than enough! Though uh... I suppose that does require being able to identify the flirting in the first place.

[nonedible]

...Yeah.

[gunsling]

Hmm....

Well I think compliments about your appearance are definitely on the top of the list of flirting techniques! Not that all compliments are attempts to flirt either, mind you.

[nonedible]

And that's where it gets confusing.

[gunsling]

No kidding! I wish I could help you out more on this one, but I never expected it to be this complicated until I really got into it.

[nonedible]

It's okay. I'm sure I'll find some way to figure it out in time.

[gunsling]

You're a smart lady, Taicea. I have no doubt in your abilities.

[nonedible]

Thank you, Jake.

[gunsling]

Any time!

[ That is he'll tell her she's smart any time, because he sure as fuck didn't help at all. ]
