She's gotten tall. I keep forgetting that she's not tiny, like she was when I first started seeing her around. Still all awkward, skinny limbs and joints, and it reminds me a little of Wendy, back when we were that age, and the brief amount of time that she was actually taller than me.

I jerk to a stop, arch a brow at her and say, "Uh, yeah, sure." I'm not real sure what to expect, but I know her well enough to be a little wary.

"It's about- it's about kissing." Coraline said quickly. It was sort of like ripping a band aid if she said it quick enough it wasn't quite as embarassing or humiliating as if she said it slow. "And well, sex. But mostly kissing. Like how do you know if you want to properly kiss someone or have sex? And what's venerable diseases? And... I have a list."

"Whoa, okay. Slow down," I with a snort of laughter, pushing a hand through my hair and looking around for a relatively isolated table where I can sit her down.

It's slow, the dip between lunch and dinner, so there's really hardly anybody here, so I steer her toward a booth in the back.

"First off? It's venereal disease. Not venerable."

Coraline paused, taking in a huge breath as she stopped talking. Coraline followed Neil and slid into a seat looking at him curiously.

"Venereal? Oh, so that's why I couldn't find them in the big medicine book. What are venereal diseases then?" Coraline asked. "How do you get them? How do you know if you've got them?"
