Earth culture is funny
Shanna had finally thought she got used to Earth culture. She had been working hard and taking care of herself pretty well. There had been very few bad reactions to foods in a long time. She was pretty happy with herself.

That was why she had decided to invite Vincent over. She was cooking dinner. She had found ways to make food that would be pretty filling and not make her sick. It was sort of like fried rice, except without the eggs of course.

She really hoped that Vincent was okay with this place. She had been told it was what was called a 'dive' due to the cracks in the walls and sometimes the lights didn't work right. But the heating worked almost all of the time. Her bed was usually dry and the locks worked properly so she could have her privacy. Now all she had to do was wait for Vincent.

And it isn't as if she is being too familiar. Though at one point latter on as the movie progresses her head rests just a little against his chest. Vincent feels very warm and the heat seeking part of her is enjoying that.

Vincent chuckles as she relaxes. "You seem far too content. I'm not sure if I should be jealous."

"Well you're warm Vincent," she points out smirking up at him. "If you don't want me huddling up to you, get chilly."

He laughs. "It's a demi-god thing. We run hot, I suppose.

And I don't mind, per se, I just haven't been praised as a replacement for a heating pad before." Another grin.

She doesn't quite blush but she looks very amused. Then looks back towards the TV. A thought strikes her about his warmth. "With my people we share heat with our fiends for good health and prosperity."

"Oh really? That's ni--" Vincent's brain catches up, remembering what Shanna already told him about her culture's concepts of currency and 'warmth exchange'.

"...Shanna... are you trying to seduce me?"

"Don't be silly Vincent!" That is probably a relief. But then she continues. "I like you as a friend. I merely think sharing heat with you would be fun. And it's good for your health. I care about your well-being. I'm not interested in you in the romantic sense."

That doesn't help him she just doesn't know it.

"I... err..." Vincent can't help but suddenly become much more aware of her proximity, to say nothing of her attractiveness.

"I didn't foresee myself ever saying this as a single man, but... I don't think I can right now."

He sits up, giving them enough space to hold a serious conversation. "First off, I want to say that I'm very flattered, and want you to understand that. Under ordinary circumstances, I'd be more than happy to exchange warmth with you, at length and in a variety of ways.

But.. there is the situation with Andrea. She was the only serious relationship I've had, and I'm not sure I'm completely over her yet; even though she seems to be over me enough to be dating again.

I'm not ready for a relationship again, and even though I understand you're not asking for one, I need to decide if... well, 'rebound sex' is respectful to not just myself, but to you and Andrea as well."

He bites his lip.

"Let me give you a more definitive answer tomorrow?"

She blinked and found herself smiling. She enjoyed the fact he found her very attractive. She also liked he was showing her that he respected her.

Though it was puzzling to her the Earth did not have professionals for rebound sex. Earth people were very weird about that.

"Thank you for respecting me enough to talk to me about this like you did. And I'm perfectly okay with waiting. I don't mind if you come to realize that sharing heat with me isn't wise."

Portions of his hind-brain immediately plug in three numerical values that would state warmth exchange to be a very wise decision, but they're overpowered by responsibility.

Vincent smiles and nods, relieved. "Thank you." He gives her a chaste hug, then lets them get comfortable again to watch the rest of the movie.
