~♥SEVENTEEN♥~
[Video/Action]
[So, you guys remember Kida Radio, right? Well, the following post is brought you by Kida Industries. It's a video recording, with the journal propped up to give a good shot of Masaomi. Sure it's unseasonably cold, at at least it's not raining. As a result, he is outside in his hoodie (a PINK one, not a white one, I might add, ( Read more... )

So he actually speaks up, although his voice isn't particularly hopeful.]
Well, Mr. Kida, would you happen to have any advice for relationships with non-human sapient men?

[...Or non-humans? Well that might be offensive to Kaori or something. His face screws up and he shifts position to be off the crate. Better footing. He points at the book]
If that's your thing, that's cool, but I've never done- you mean someone who isn't human?

...That's kind of a strange fetish, don't you think? Non-human dating, I mean- if you like guys that's cool.

Ah, well, I was hardly implying you were, merely wondering if you had any advice...
And yes, I mean somebody who isn't human. But it's hardly a fetish. [Robert's tone is even, and he doesn't visibly seem to be embarrassed by the topic.] It's just that his body is relatively inconsequential when compared to his mind.
[That, and Robert does find him genuinely attractive, but he's not sure if he should mention that.]
There are so many non-human sapients in Luceti. Are you saying that with all your apparent expertise, you have never once seen such a relationship occur here?

And... [Now Robert's tone goes distinctly anxious. He isn't sure how to word this properly and it just comes out as something of an awkward mess.] I-I, er, am... n-not particularly good at emotional things, and... and I don't want to be a problem, and... I-I'm not sure if there is some manner of improving one's ability to... tell.
Th-that and... I... [... don't want to lose him. But Robert isn't sure if he can say that, and his statement trails off pathetically.]

Hey man, it's not cute when a guy does it. Slow down and tell me what you want without the tripping over your tongue.

He forces his breathing to something closer to normal and tries to repeat himself more coherently.]
... I... have trouble discerning emotions. And in a relationship, that tends to be an issue.
Is... there some way to... improve one's ability at that, effectively?
[People like Kida seem to have this confidence, this easy comfort with interacting with other people, that Robert has always lacked. In a way, he envies it.]

Oh yeah? Well, what sort of trouble have you run into with that little diddy before before now? Seems to me that if you have a relationship already you'd in a state of No Problem!

... Well... a multitude of problems arise as a result. For example, I find myself having difficulty understanding his cues, and because of this, things he says to me can be misinterpreted by myself, or missed entirely...
... A-And, I would not know this unless someone were to explain.
I... just don't want... to be a failure.

[And here he waves a hand, dismissively. Pushing that problem aside because he A) doesn't care that much and B) can't address it properly. He takes a seat on the crate, and then puts on a thoughtful expression]

You talked to your boyfriend about this yet, man?

He really deserves something good for once in his life. And a person who can understand him for who he is.
...
I'm j-just... afraid that my mental differences make that difficult.

Hey, what's your name anyway?
