Re: Soul Searching (sturm) Gmed by ranger
Sara was not annoyed in the slightest by Spring's questions. Rather, she took them to heart and she sat for awhile, the look on her face showing she was in deep thought. Some people could have wondered why the other nymph was so interested in Sara's relationship, but the human woman was too busy considering the question itself to wonder why Spring was asking it. She had no idea that Spring knew Lady Nyeri, or that Nyeri merited the title of Lady, or even that Nyeri was all that interested in her.
She sighed, "I honestly don't know. It could be that this journey is all that binds us together, and afterwards we will drift our separate ways. Or it could be that even once we have rescued her daughter, and we will rescue her daughter, we will be bound together by the fact. A wise man in my village said once, 'few can know where their road will take them until they come to its end. And so it is." Sara looked thoughtfully at Spring for a moment and then continued. "And I guess you could say I am very inexperienced. As I am sure you have figured out, I have had a very intimate moment with Asha, but other than that I have only ever had any such experiences with yourself, though I suppose you could say that was more a matter of business, although I certainly enjoyed it and I hope you did too. And there was one other, also a nymph as it happens. I...helped her out once, and she spent a great deal of time educating me on the ways to love a woman."
At this she laughed lightly, adding, "Though I hardly expected the repayment, it was my first, well, sexual experience and I certainly won't forget it any time soon, especially with my new looks to remember her by. You understand if I can't tell you her name, I don't want to seem boastful and I don't know what she feels about talking about lovers. Though in the human realm we have a saying that one should 'never kiss and tell.' Sara giggled, "Though we certainly did more than kiss, I'm sure you understand the sentiment, even though I don't know if nymphs share the same views on the matter, I would certainly never do something that might offend her or place her in an uncomfortable position."
Thinking for a moment, she brought herself back to the original question, concluding, "Anyway, to answer your question, I am not experienced in life or in love. It could happen that we become something more, though it might not. I know little of how your kind view sexual encounters, so I cannot make any assumptions. It also bears consideration that Asha has many human lifetimes worth of experience and maturity, and I...well I'm barely a new-born compared to her."
As she finished, it finally occurred to her that Spring was taking a lot of interest in her love-life, certainly more than she had expected, though she completely misinterpreted why she was asking the questions. She looked at her quizzically and asked, "Why are you so curious, if you don't mind my asking? Is there something I should know, about you or Asha? Oh goodness, do you have feelings for her? I...I don't want to interfere in someone else's relationship, so if you two were an item, just say so and I won't do anything more!"
