WHO: Kenny McCormick & Liu Ying.
WHAT: Another chat.
WHEN: Sunday afternoon.
WHERE: The park.
WARNINGS: Talk about sex, language.
STATUS: Closed/Completed gdoc.
Spring had arrived - and with it, flowers that bloomed and cast their fragrance into the air. They fascinated Liu Ying: the Flower Tribe did not often visit the Demon Realm, and as a result flowers and other plant life were rare. Liu YIng still remembered the last visit from a Flower Tribe envoy, almost ten thousand years ago, when she had been gifted a cutting of nightshade. It still held a place of honour in her courtyard.
Here, however, there were so many flowers of different sizes and shapes, and they had such different scents and flavours. Liu Ying was in the park by the riverside, enjoying the sunshine and the flowers, when she noticed another girl picking daisies and forming a chain out of them. Fascinated, she watched, and then tried to do the same herself.
She had created one of the length she wanted when she was faced with a conundrum: how to close off the chain when the flower was so delicate? She would have asked the girl she had watched, but she had left by now. She would just have to be very careful, then.
***
Spring was, well, not really anything to Kenny. Aside from slight troubles with allergies and whatnot, he didn't mind the season. It certainly wasn't his favorite (that was winter), but he didn't exactly hate it either. Basically, he was pretty neutral about the slightly warmer weather nowadays.
He had been out and about, trying to find something to occupy his time before he had to go into work later. He ended up walking through the park and he happened upon Liu Ying near the river. He hadn't seen her since their meeting, though they spoke briefly about prom and how apparently she was going to go and see if she'd enjoy it or not. Kenny himself didn't care much for that sort of thing, but she probably would.
"Whatcha doing?" he asked suddenly. He then saw the daisy chain she was making and guessed what she was having trouble with. "Oh, that. You know how to close it off? Just make a slit on the first one and poke the last one through it."
***
Liu Ying looked up at the familiar voice. Yes, this was the immortal, the dishonourable one who spoke so casually of kisses and then left her without so much as a ‘by your leave’. Now that Liu Ying had been here for longer, she had come to recognize that such rudeness was - unfortunately - not an anomaly. She did not know if it was a matter of mortals or this time period, but it made her long for her own world at times. At least then, even the people trying to kill you were polite about it.
And now he was trying to be helpful. How capricious.
Well, she had dealt with both the Sky and Bird Tribes. She could handle capricious. “I have made an attempt,” she informed him. “It would not stay.”
***
Kenny didn't think there was anything odd about the last time they met and how he was trying to help her now. He didn't think too much about their last encounter because talking about kissing wasn't really a big deal to him. Hell, he'd talked about way more than just kissing plenty of times before. At least he didn't bring up sex, though he kind of wondered what would happen if he did.
Maybe another time, though. For now, he just glanced down at her.
"Yeah, it's kinda tricky," he shrugged. He used to make them for his sister when she was little. Sometimes they went to Stark's Pond and she'd pick flowers and he made her a little crown out of them. "I can try and make it stay if you want," he offered.
***
After a moment’s thought, Liu Ying handed over the delicate chain. She was curious as to how he would handle such a delicate item when his manner of speech was not so delicate.
“The men here are very quick of their talk of kissing,” she remarked as she watched him work. They had spoken of even more vulgar things, but she would not dignify those with even a mention. “This practice, is it what passes for courtship in the mortal world?”
***
Kenny took the daisy chain from her and began his attempt at making it stay. He'd done this before, but it was years ago when he and his sister were much younger. It had definitely been awhile, but as he worked, it all started to come back to him. Most things usually did when he hadn't done them in a long time.
"Are they?" he asked absentmindedly as he continued to fix the chain. "Hmm... sometimes. Or it can just be they want to have sex with you. It depends on the person." He usually just wanted sex. He already had whatever he had with Ella, so he wasn't interesting in anything more than casual.
He finished fixing the chain. "Here you go," he tossed it to her, being a lot less delicate than he had been just now. Miraculously, it managed to stay together.
***
Liu Ying easily caught it, her fingers wrapping gently around the chain. She took a moment to see how he had fixed the chain and took note. In the future, she’d be able to do it herself.
“Just wanting ‘sex’, that is even worse.” Liu Ying placed the daisy chain on her head, as she had seen others in the park. “I much prefer this custom.”
***
Okay, good, it didn't break when he had tossed it. He hadn't really meant to, but he was pretty careless most of the time. Probably because he never had to be, especially when it came to himself. He could do all kinds of risky and crazy things and even die, but since he'll just come back, no harm done.
"What's wrong with just wanting sex?" he asked. "I mean, it's fun and it feels good. And it's definitely a lot better than having dumb feelings and shit involved." Not that he felt emotions much in the first place, but he didn't like it when he did. And the deeper the feelings, the worse it was.
***
“It is an intimate act,” Liu Ying said, confused he even had to ask. “I do not even duel with anyone not worthy. To exchange such...intimacy, I would not welcome just anyone.”
She may be an immortal, but she had no wish to waste her time on partners who were not worth it.
***
"Never really thought of sex as intimate," Kenny shrugged. To him, sex was just some fun activity that adults did when there wasn't anything else to do. Or even then, when they feel like just having sex for no reason other than just for the fun of it.
"So you're not fucking anyone until you marry them then?" he guessed. He didn't understand why wait, but whatever. It was her choice, she could do whatever she wanted. If she wanted to save herself for marriage or just someone she deemed worthy, than whatever.
***
“Until I find someone worthy,” Liu Ying corrected. It would likely mean that that the person would also be worthy to marry as well. These things were intertwined. And unlike the practices of the Sky Realm, arranged marriages of convenience were not a necessity.
“You would have such relations with anyone?” She did not understand this manner of thought.
***
"Eh, either way," Kenny shrugged. It kinda all meant the same to him, but he supposed someone worthy didn't always have to mean getting married to that person. It could mean just someone who could be completely trusted or some bullshit like that. He wasn't sure and he didn't really care.
"Sure, I do it all the time," he told her. He slept with quite a few women, both here and back home. He never bothered hiding the fact either. "With friends, strangers. Really anyone who wants to."
***
Liu Ying frowned. It seemed that here, his viewpoint of physical intimacy was more common than hers. There were certain things she was willing to change in order to adapt here, but this was not one of them. And if that meant she would never be with anyone, that was not bad for her. She had not been with anyone for 25,000 years. Another 25,000 years was just a blink of an eye to her, and she would hope she would be home by then. She had heard some people were returned in as short a time as six years.
Still, she was curious.
“Why? Is it that enjoyable?”
***
"It's sex. Of course it is," Kenny said as if that was obvious. "Everyone knows that, unless they're a virgin and never done it before."
There was a pause before he asked, "are you a virgin?" Honestly, he wouldn't be surprised if she was. She did get all upset when he asked for a simple kiss. Or maybe she wasn't, which would be very surprising if that was the case.
***
Liu Ying pulled back. That question, it was very personal. But it seemed it was not so offensive in this world and time. “Is it not obvious?”
She did not think it shameful that she had not experienced it. As she had told him, she would not waste her time with anyone unworthy of it.
***
Sometimes it was, depending on the person. Kenny himself saw nothing wrong with asking, but he knew a few people always considered it a more private subject. "It is, but you never know. Maybe you'd surprised me and actually lost your virginity," he shrugged. Guess not.
"But wait, aren't you like old?" he asked suddenly. "Like 25, 000 or something? You've really gone that long without having sex?"
***
“That is not very long for immortals,” Liu Ying said. Kenny was a very different sort of immortal, however, so he might not understand. “I am still very young yet. Most immortals do not get married until they are 60 or 70 thousand years old.”
Some had intimate relations before marriage, but she could not think of any who had done so before they were 25,000 years old. Of course, she did not know all the immortals so it was very possible some were precocious that way.
***
"I guess it wouldn't be," Kenny shrugged. "Still, seems like a long time."
He had no idea how long he'd be around. He couldn't even see his own death when he had Death's powers. He had tried but he couldn't. He did see the end of the universe, though. But his own death? Nothing. So he didn't know how long he'd be around. Still, even if he ended up being here for thousands of years, he'd still think going 25, 000 years without sex was way too long.
***
“There are other ways to pass the time.” Liu Ying stood up in a graceful motion, without any stray grass clinging to her dark clothing. “For example, I am going to work on my cultivation.”
She touched the daisy crown on her head. “Thank you for helping me with this.”
***
"Maybe, they all seem boring, though." But then again, Kenny felt bored no matter what he did. He could do as many crazy, near death shit he wanted and he'd still feel bored. Sex seemed like one of the few things he actually enjoyed.
"Cool, you do that," he shrugged. "And yeah, sure. No problem. I'm surprised I remembered how to make one of those." It had been a long time since he had. His sister wasn't so young anymore and she pretty much grew out of flower crowns and things like that. It was sad but that was life.
"Anyways, I'm gonna get going. See you around."
