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.

I suppose. [She doesn't think she'll ever get flirting.]

[whatsupcroc]

What brought this up in the first place?

[nonedible]

I am simply curious.

[whatsupcroc]

Curiosity's a good thing to indulge! Are any of the answers making sense?

[nonedible]

The only sense I've made from the answers is that it's near impossible to tell if someone is flirting.

[whatsupcroc]

Hahaha! Okay, that's true some of the time. I think when you get a feel for how more people do it, it'll be easier to tell!

Though kinda related, can you tell when someone's teasing you?

[nonedible]

I suppose so.

I um...no, not really.

i'm sorry she's so unhelpful alksjd

[whatsupcroc]

I thought you might not! Teasing is probably the easier thing to recognize. A lot of people tease the people they care about, and flirting is kind of like teasing with a...

Okay I think I had a point and then I lost it, let me get back to you on that.

haha its fine

[nonedible]

Um...okay?

[whatsupcroc]

Thanks!

Anywaaaaay have you met any of the new guys this massive transportation in so far?

[nonedible]

Not yet. I don't think anyway. There are a lot of people already here that I've never met.

[whatsupcroc]

Keeping track of them all is ridiculously hard! It's really fun meeting people, no matter how long they've been here or not. I think it's one of my favorite things about this place.

Oh, not to be off topic, but how has cooking gone for you?

[nonedible]

Same here! I really enjoy meeting new people.

I think I'm improving. It's just a matter of finding good ingredients. Everything here is so poisoned... [Compared to back home anyway.]

[whatsupcroc]

Oh geez, not you, too! I know it's not the same as... actually, probably where you're from is a whole lot cleaner, but there's a decent few places to go for "clean" produce. Snow and I have a whole list! She's been teaching me how to do more than rice and pasta.

[nonedible]

I've been trying to grow some of my own. But I can only do so much for the plants without some proper lighting. The light I have just does not seem to do as well as it could.

[whatsupcroc]

What kind of light do you have?

[nonedible]

One that's supposed to help the plants grow. But I end up having to coax them more than I feel I should if they had some proper sunlight.

They really aren't too happy.

[whatsupcroc]

Hmm, I wonder if anyone with the greenhouses has a good suggestion! Have you talked to a lot of the people who grow food around here? The exiles, that is.

[nonedible]

Not yet. It's been one of many things on my list.

[whatsupcroc]

They're really good to talk to about this stuff. I know a few people who might be good to start off with! Though hmm, I'm not sure how friendly they are to people who look differently than they do. Unless they figure it's something due to genetic manipulation... I just don't want people to be total jerks to you because they're stupid.

[nonedible]

I'm a walking plant...I'm kind of used to people being rude. It happens a lot back home because my kind are still so young and not as wide spread.

[whatsupcroc]

Still! I think that's not right at all. Usual, because people don't like things that aren't like they are, but still dumb.

[nonedible]

Yeah...it's not right. But I can handle it.

[whatsupcroc]

I don't doubt it for a moment! So if you're okay with it... well, we can go ask those guys I was thinking about when you next have time off.

[nonedible]

I can tomorrow evening if that works for you.
