Then the easiest way would be to create the reverse scenario, isn't it? Find someone who wants that kind of arrangement and then finding out you enjoy spending time with them in other ways becomes the added bonus.

But I assume you don't want to broadcast that you are looking to everyone?

Yeah, not really. Not because I care if they know. I just don't want any nice people feeling bad for me and trying to help me out at their expense.

Hmmm.

[ Crosses his arms and thinks for a moment ]

Are there perhaps people you have teased or flirted with on the ship but not yet properly spent time with outside of tasks or performances?

Hmm... [ thinks. ]

Yeah, but so far I get the feeling they're holding out for people they actually like?

How do you even tell that about someone...?

I asked.

Oh.

[ Tilts his head to one side, the furrow between his brow increasing as he processes this new information. ]

I suppose it never came up in the various small talk that I have done for the performances.

But I can see how this would be a key detail to know in the pursuit of what you are looking for.

I miss being in the city where I could just hookup with anyone that thought I looked good enough.

[ eats more of his fish. ]

Maybe I'll just practice abstinence until I get off this boat. That might be the smartest move...

May I ask how often you would hook up with people back in the city?

A lot. Very useful for getting information in exchange for. Really helped with investigative reports.

But that was a perk of your line of work, yes? In a way that you may have had access to more than you needed.

In lieu of that, how often do you think you would need a partner to keep yourself satisfied?

Yes.

No more than once every ten days, maybe longer.

Ah. I believe I am being insensitive.

Do you also wish me to help look for you?

... What, no. Why would I ask you to do that?

Because if I can tell someone is flirting, then it must be really obvious and therefore a good candidate for what you are looking for.

Haha... they would be wanting that sort of thing with you if that was the case.

Honestly, it's fine. Guess I'll just get used to my hand again. [ there should be thousand of people on a cruise to have sex with and yet...!

Sam shifts and eats more fish. ] It's not like the sex is going to bring the rush of obtaining the information I was after, anyway. So maybe it wouldn't be satisfying at all.

[ Furrows his brow a little as he also takes a bite of fish. ]

It seemed liked you were fairly convinced that it would take at least a little of the edge off.

I was, but after talking with you, I think I realize it's more hassle than it's worth.

I offered to one person. If they accept I'll go with it. Otherwise, I'll just have to hope someone new that shows up is an old fling.

Then I will hope that either of those things come to pass for you.

[ Sam nods. ]

So, how are you since we last talked?

[ Raises an eyebrow and reaches over to poke Sam lightly in the forehead. ]

Since last time we talked? So formal.

[ puffs cheeks. ]

Well I mean, you let me take that nap, which was amazing by the way and I can't thank you enough for it.

[ because he can't imagine how much worse his last couple days would have been without it, to be honest. ]

I wasn't fishing for a compliment.

But since you asked, I'm doing as well as can be expected. This afternoon I plan to start working on some of the criteria for restoring the library.

I known you weren't!

Ahh, that'll be nice.

Not gonna lie that the fact the rest of this ship sounds like it's in disrepair is really creepy, though. Yikes.

Are you concerned for its structural integrity?
