She thought about the differences between courting and flirting. "Well, then... why flirt? If it's not important enough and you aren't going to last forever... why bother?" she asked.
"There are some back home who don't have their special someone, and though it is important, they don't worry so much about it because they feel that it will happen when it does." She blushed slightly at the notion of explaining what things were like where she was from. "Er... well, um... it's very.... traditional and old, I suppose. There are lots of things the men do to er... win the woman over, but um.... the traditions are all very complex and hard to explain," she said in a rush, trying to avoid talking too much about her origins.
"Well, if you don't think it's true, why are you with... I mean... it's not really my place... I was just... never mind," she said, blushing and casting her eyes downward. She moved her legs a bit, her once-broken one still smarting slightly, but not nearly as much. "Ow..." she sighed. "My leg still hurts a bit," she said by way of explaination. |
