So the term 'Rejehejet'e-Euugá' refers to your combined species. It's a biological distinction?
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Purely from a Kree standpoint? We don't court or even mate primarily to reproduce, for one. It would be inefficient for half the population to deal with gravidity, so most Kree children aren't carried.
Kree usually do battle before the first date to determine compatibility, but personally, I'm into music. Bring me what you like to listen to, I'll bring food.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
We'll talk over dinner about things we like, our personal philosophies and views for the future--that sort of thing, if it appeals to you. You're a dedicated carnivore, correct?
[He mulls that over. On Hala, and in most of his military interactions, respect was simply a CO's due, and in exchange, it was their responsibility to be or become deserving of that respect. Mutual social responsibility. In a fascist, imperialistic society like the Kree, it works. The shift in viewpoints explains Warrior's laissez-faire attitude.
This is refreshing.]
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I feel like I understand more, now. Is this the common view among all the instructors?

And I suppose taking it all off would be off-limits. Do you take it all off to eat?
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Do you have any kind of image of yourself? Your public file shows only your suit.
A naked body is pretty intimate by our standards. You still haven't told me what I would owe you in return.
[He's one of those people who seem to consider most clothing optional unless they're in public. Thankfully, he hasn't reached that level of comfort with his rovermates yet, but his uniform tends to disappear from the waist up with alarming frequency.
Still, his main thought remains both Warrior's comfort and the equivalency. Kate knew what she was getting into when they slept together. This is light-years from that.]

A multi-year courtship that ends in nesting.
But it should start with food.
no subject
I don't think I'd be able to provide that, not in the long-term, at least. Are Kree and your species even biologically compatible?
I can do food, though.
no subject
Probably, in a pinch. Euugá are all capable of reactive-adaptation.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
If you're bringing me food as a measure of respect you can bring it to my rover.
If you're expressing interest, present it to Armada.
no subject
Interesting. What is the nature of your bond? Kree don't have courtship rituals in the same way humans and Euugà do.
no subject
All Rejehejet'e vary. Euugà tend to be picky, but I'm especially so.
Since only two of us are left, Armada is uniquely protective.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
What are your Kree expectations?
how did their first actual conversation turn into this...

wizards.
Yes.
But it probably isn't necessary anymore.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I'm not asking about reproduction. I'm asking about the date you're going to take me on.
don't think I didn't see that comment in dagger's inbox
You brought up 'nesting' first, to be fair.

so now you're stalking me? senpai is impressed.
Nesting isn't directly related to reproduction for a Euugà. I can nest as long as I want before I consider
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
1. us biologically compatible
2. and/or my systems consider reproduction imperative
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
Battle is a common practice among us as well. Or something like it at any rate. But music would be easier.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I consent.

So nesting is more like marriage? Forming a household?
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I do have one last condition. A personal one.
no subject
It's demonstrating the means and willingness to provide comfort for the partner that agrees to carry the eggs.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I'm listening.
no subject
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I want to see your face, first.
no subject
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
Why?
no subject
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Admittedly, to gauge physical attractiveness, somewhat. But mostly mutual respect.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
If it's too personal, I'll understand, but this is a deal-breaker on my end.
no subject
If you're the only one getting something from it, that isn't really mutual. Unless we have different definitions.
You're also assuming I respect you.
Which is interesting.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I consent.
no subject
But my helmet and suit are attached.
no subject
Then what can I give you in exchange?
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
They can't be detached?
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
And I was under the impression that some level of respect was included in the whole 'going out' package. You'd date someone you have no respect for?
[See, that's offensive to him.]
no subject
I don't know yet.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
And no. It all comes off together.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I would investigate something I was curious about. And I would spend time on pursuits that pique my interest. It doesn't happen often.
But respect must be earned.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I don't anticipate that it will be granted to me by you. The inverse is also true.

I speak for myself. Not for them.

But no. It isn't off-limits.
I have nothing to be ashamed of.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
But I could find something to put on underneath, if you prefer.

You only have permission to look. I'm not concerned.
When I figure out what I want, I'll tell you.
no subject
All right. I accept this arrangement.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
How much meat is a meal for you?
[Does he need to go hunt down an ajnabou for this date...]
no subject
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
I like to snack, not gorge. Madu is fine.
It doesn't need to be cooked.
no subject
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Raw, cooked, seasoned?
I'm not much of a chef, but if you have preferences, I'll try to meet them.
