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.

Not someone that is here.

[applethief]

Oh
In that case

I don't know the whole situation
Obviously
But it doesn't sound like they were
Trying to endear themselves to you in any way
With that response
So

[nonedible]

I've had many reactions like that because I question too much. But how will ever learn anything if I don't question?

[applethief]

[ ... aw. now THAT is endearing. ]

Reading?
But you won't, really

I think most of it is just
Knowing when to ask
And how.

[nonedible]

I've been trying to read here. But I have to translate everything first. So it takes me a while to get through a book... [She's still learning the English alphabet.]

I suppose. But figuring out the right time to ask is kind of difficult.

[applethief]

[ pause! ]

Have you tried having someone read with you
Or to you
Whichever

[nonedible]

No. I don't wish to bother anyone.

[applethief]

Isn't that what these questions are doing, though?
Might as well take it a step further

[nonedible]

But if it's on the network like this people can simply ignore it. And it's not like they have to take time out of their day to sit with me.

[applethief]

I'm just saying
You're already asking questions
And people are already taking time out of their day to respond
One more can't hurt
What's the worst that could happen

[nonedible]

That's true. But it's kind of a fun challenge to figure out the books on my own. If I really get stuck then I'll ask.

[applethief]

Good plan

[ ... ]

And good luck

[nonedible]

Thank you.
