The avatar brings her up to his face. Smooch away.

"Announcing your dating life to the network is your best day?" Couldn't be him.

The avatar leans in to the kisses because why not. It gives her a little nuzzle with its big monkey nose.

"Things could definitely be worse in your life. Let me know if you ever want to screw around with it, I'm up for that." Why not, really.

He laughs. Her enthusiasm is super cute.

"Whenever, then. My room is big enough for a slightly smaller version." He's not sure about the logistics but she has experience.

"That sounds fun. Miyuni did that to me during her rut. I was stuck in my nest for four days." Ah, fond memories. A little wistful now, but still fond.

"They usually start about you-size. Choco cheated because of a special mystic connection, so hers is huge now too. But yours will grow in time. It can be whatever you like, but something that you have an affinity for works, as long as it's not based on another person. That's why hers is a pigeon."

It will nuzzle her back and give her a kiss on her head. Good human.

"If you catch yourself thinking about it, it can't hurt. Goals are good."

"I approve of those goals." Obviously.

"Shadows will probably be helpful at the research center too." If you're creative enough they can be used for nearly everything.

He idly picks a mango and peels it with his claws.

"If there's any other magic that you see me do that you want to learn, just say so. I know at least a little bit of everything except healing magic."

"My clones are a specific kind of magic combined with the shadow magic. So short answer: yes. Longer answer: yes, but it'll take a while."

"That is usually the way. It took me about two years to make my first clone, but I didn't have anyone to show me how. I did also practice constantly. I spent the first good while of my life pretty much alone so I didn't have anything else to do."

"I figured, given your announcement and considering how much of my time my partners take up."

"Payback? Like what?" He can't really think of anything he needs.

He laughs. "You know that my records were made by immortals, right? Aren't you an ambitious one."

"If you want to try it, sure. I like the enthusiasm." He's willing to let her attempt.

Truth be told he gets by far the most out of sex with someone he loves, but that's not to say he doesn't get anything out of a more casual experience, it's just different. Demisexual things, that's all.

"I've done a fair amount of training with MK when we were screwing around, actually. Double duty. I would bind him up and see if he could get out of it while I was very distracting, things like that."

"Yep, no problem. I'm very creative with it." He's creative in general, both with shadows and with sex.

"You don't say." It's quite obvious, which is gratifying.

"You want a portal back to your place? Somewhere else?"
