#004 - A Girl's Gotta Have Options

[kryptonian]

 So I've been super busy. (No pun intended.) In the past three weeks I have:

• Eaten chocolate I shouldn't have eaten, but thankfully DIDN'T get bitten in the butt over.
• Sewn two new uniforms. Sort-of conservative ones. People keep giving me looks for wearing midriff-baring tops in the snow, so this is more for them than me.
• Ate a ghost pepper and a hanabero pepper to see if I could taste the difference. Result: positive. I could practically feel the ghost pepper moving through my intestines. I don't know how people eat them without dying.
• Hung out with my BFF, but that's not really something anyone should be surprised by.
• Walked Krypto daily. I have walked Krypto more here than I have in the rest of my life.
• Obtained scratches from walking Krypto. Dog, my arm is not a chew toy.
• Read some truly terrible YA romance novels. Now questioning my taste in guys.
• Met the Easter Bunny, who I have things in common with. I'm not sure what that says about me.

How's your weeks been? Devoid of energetic dogs and ghost peppers, I'd hope.

[She laughs!]

Wow, Romeo, you sound like you walked off the pages of one of these books, yourself.

I'm too young to worry about love and that kind of stuff. It'll happen when it happens, I'm not too concerned.

[whathedoves]

My little dove heart is just a romantic one, mon amie.

You shouldn't be! Love will always find a way, whether you're chasing it down or not.

So these YA books - are they aimed at your age group?

[kryptonian]

[Haha this guy is cute :')]

They are. I'm seventeen, so "young adult" works just fine for me.

[whathedoves]

Ah, we're not so far away in age, in that case!

But then, I'm not sure "adult" novels will do you much better! Hahaha. Victim to the same problems, probably. And more.

[kryptonian]

I'm pretty sure only bored housewives read "adult" novels.

[whathedoves]

Harsh! You don't pull any punches when it comes to your literature, do you?

What other genres captivate your interests? I'm not much of a reader, but - !

[kryptonian]

I wouldn't really describe myself that way, but hey, I know what I like. I like teen dramas and adventure stories and fashion magazines and stuff. I'm not really into "classic" or super heavy stuff.

[whathedoves]

Better to know what you like and let everybirdie else know. Only a real un-suave jerk wouldn't respect a girl who speaks her mind.

Good taste! I just hope your recent adventures haven't turned you off from romance for good, mon amie.

[kryptonian]

You know, I like the way you think.

And don't worry. I've had so many adventures that at this rate, I don't think anything could turn me off romance for good.

[whathedoves]

I'm flattered. I'll never turn down a compliment from anybirdie!

What a relief. That's one horizon I hope you never stop chasing - though no one says you can't fool around a little in the meantime, right?

[kryptonian]

Anybirdie? Never been called that before.

[whathedoves]

I doubt you have! It's part of the vernacular where I'm from.

I'm a dove, mon amie.

[Pause.]

I've gotten into some trouble not being forthcoming about that immediately, so it's best to get that off the table early.

[kryptonian]

A dove, huh. I've met my fair share of unusual people in my life, but never a talking dove. Are you like, a normal Earth dove, or are you huge or something?

[whathedoves]

Hmm, I've been told not to brag, so I should say I'm none too extraordinary! However, I believe doves have grown a bit larger than the ones hailing from the home worlds of many of my friends here.

I've always been taller than most of my peers; it helps with the rakish look, doesn't it?

[kryptonian]

[She giggles.]

I bet it does. I bet girl pigeons like that in guy pigeons, just like how human girls like it in boys.

[whathedoves]

Oh? Do human girls like it as well? You, too?

Guess I lucked out! The castle's done its fair share giving me a stint in a human body before. Luckily, the height carried over - though I can't see why it wouldn't have.
