She thought she was about as relaxed as she could get, but maybe not. Besides, relaxing seemed like a bad idea when one was trying to balance on something. Still, if Aislinn said so she should at least attempt to 'relax' a bit. It wasn't exactly easy, though with Aislinn's help she was able to manage a bit. By the end of the next hour though, she was more than a little sore. She hadn't ever sit still for so long in her life. At least, she had never been sitting in one position the entire time. [color=bc8dbf]"Urgh, I am sore."[/color] Charlotte complained, ignoring the cat comment. What came out of Aislinn's mouth next though, caused the Alchemist to stop in her tracks, turn her head towards the native and give her the most bewildered look one could possibly have mustered. Aislinn didn't exactly strike her as the type to just say something like that out of the blue for giggles, unlike Cait. Which meant either she had Aislinn all wrong, or she genuinely thought she was helping. Well, either one was annoying and a bit troubling. [color=bc8dbf]"I, uh..."[/color] For a few seconds Charlotte had to figure out how to even begin to reply to such an absurd idea. [color=bc8dbf]"Aislinn, you are so completely off the mark I can't even form a proper reply."[/color] Charlotte simply stared blankly at the other woman. [color=bc8dbf]"L-look, my people do not have...'springtime', as you call it."[/color] She continued in an even tone. She had heard Cait mention it a few times, and could hazard a guess as to what exactly that meant. [color=bc8dbf]"It's all this...[i]touching[/i] and being seen without clothing is just getting a bit embarrassing unless it's with a lover."[/color] Realizing that the native might not have a notion of what that word meant, she continued. [color=bc8dbf]"Typically, being seen without clothing is considered rude and uncultured, and touching people where I am from tends to happen only between friends and acquaintances, and is little more than a handshake or a small pat on the shoulder. Maybe a hug, if its a relative or a friend. Anything more intimate is reserved for a lover."[/color] Charlotte took a seat next to Aislinn, stretching again. [color=bc8dbf]"To be honest, I've never even understood all this...[i]touching[/i] required of people in certain social situations. It's nothing more than a nuisance."[/color]
