[In light of certain questionable polls she was made privy to, Nami feels that a balance needs to be righted. Honestly? She doesn't much care about the answers. She just wants to have fun. |D]

[Filtered to the ladies of Luceti 8|]

So, ladies. I have a burning question, which I am asking for no reason at all. [Uh huh.]What's your vote for

Comments

[semper_cogitans]

[Intrigued by this statement.]

Are you perhaps a gynephilic person, then?

If so, I am pleased to meet another person who falls outside of the usual spectrum.

[aero_dienamic]

I'm sorry... but what do you mean?

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert pauses before he responds.]

A person attracted to those who identify as women. And, judging by the filter here, I presume you identify as a woman yourself.

[aero_dienamic]

I am a woman. I simply don't have any interest in men.

[semper_cogitans]

Then we are similar, albeit on opposite ends of the spectrum - I am a man with a strong preference for those who identify as men. [Robert's pretty much a... 5? on the Kinsey scale, though he'd put himself on a spectrum rather than a scale.]

It is reassuring to meet another person here who identifies as such.

I think that your opinion is as valid as anybody else's here, though. And there is no harm in discussing what one finds beautiful.

[aero_dienamic]

I see... Don't take this the wrong way, but I've never met one before.

Well... there are many beautiful girls here, but I'm already spoken for by one of them. I think... I'm not supposed to look at the other girls, am I not?

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert's voice has a bit of a smile in it.] Then I am honoured to be the first.

That is quite true. Though... I believe that would be up to the discretion of your partner. Still, your partner herself would count as a beautiful woman, would she not?

I don't believe we've met before, though. [He wants to keep up the formalities, here.] I am Professor Robert Alexander Hastings. [He wants to add the rest of his title - but doesn't, yet anyway.]

[aero_dienamic]

Oh my yes, she is quite the woman~ It was quite something to be her for a week~

[[This is right! She hasn't given HER title yet.]] Oh, my apologies. I am Valvalis, Lady of the Wind.

[semper_cogitans]

I am honoured to meet you, Valvalis. Or do you prefer to go as simply Lady of the Wind?

[aero_dienamic]

Valvalis is quite alright.

So then... you WOULD have an opinion on Nami's question though.

Well... let's go ahead and hear it, shall we? [[There's two names she hopes not to hear.]]

[semper_cogitans]

[And now he's suddenly shy, if only because he has to say it again and damned if he doesn't want to mention them both.]

Ah... w-well. I have only met a few of the venerable men of Luceti, but...

Mr. David Jordan, the partner of Doctor Faye-Ling, is quite handsome.

[Robert says the next part quite shyly, in a very small tone. Really hoping this isn't going to get around. Probably with his luck someone will go right up to Helios and say it to his face.] I'm also, er, p-partial to Mr. Sprensonne.

[aero_dienamic]

I can't say I really know either of them. I do know Miss Litchi a bit, but...

Well, as long as it wasn't that damned dragoon boy...

[semper_cogitans]

... Dragoon boy? [Robert has absolutely no idea what a dragoon is. The closest he can think of is "dragon" and he is certain he hasn't seen any of those - unless dragons can somehow look very hominid or something.]

I... have no real knowledge of whom or what you refer to.

[aero_dienamic]

Well, you're all the better for it then. If you don't know him already, then... it's nothing to worry about.

[semper_cogitans]

One of the less-than-agreeable people here, I presume? [Robert is thinking Jack Horner-esque, of course.] If he is, I would likely have steered clear of him myself.

[aero_dienamic]

It's that he's intolerable... He and I have a rather unpleasant history...
