Dealing with the Opposite Sex, Friday, Period 2, Class #1

As students entered the wooded area, they would notice the woman in black leather perched on the picnic table, which was surrounded by chairs. Anyone familiar with Aeryn Sun might be surprised by the similarity of their appearances, except for the white streaks in Vala's hair and the more relaxed and lounging demeanor.

"Good morning," she said, sipping from a large mug of what was probably coffee, "My name is Vala Mal Doran, and I'll be your instructor in matters of learning how to deal with the opposite sex. Now, anyone who thinks I can teach you everything on this subject in seven weeks has clearly been imbibing intoxicants and not sharing, but hopefully you'll have enough of a basis by the time we're finished so you won't blush, stammer, and pass out every time you speak to someone of the opposite gender."

"My lovely assistant," she gestured in Jack's general direction, "is Jack Harkness. His knowledge in this area is very reliable, and you should feel free to ask him any questions that you would--or wouldn't--ask me."

"So, as a unique getting-to-know you opportunity, I'd like you to introduce yourselves, explain what you hope to get out of the class, and tell use your most embarrassing story about interacting with a member of the opposite sex."

"Who'd like to start?"

"Well, what's your reason for asking her out? Is it just because you want to spend time with her, or are you aiming for sex at the end of it?" Jack frowned and studied Robin thoughtfully. "Can you have sex?"

Robin knew what sex was. He might be a bit embaresed about the topic, and though he couldn't blush, his body language certainly conveyed that.

"Not till I'm much, much older and wiser." He mumbled. "Uhm, spending time with her, maybe some kissing or snuggling." Yeah he was starting to be sorry he'd asked. Poor sheltered Muppet.

Jack felt bad at his obvious discomfort. "Hey, it's okay," he said, and went to pat him on his wee muppet shoulder. "I just don't want to give you bad advice. For you? Tell her pretty much exactly that, though I'd leave out the snuggling and kissing goals. Honesty, especially in someone as cute as you, is pretty effetive. And plan something. Have somewhere in mind. There's nothing worse than getting a yes, and then havig to flail about where to go." Or so Jack assumed. It had never actually happened to him.

That all made very good sense. And now Robin scuffed at the ground in modest embarrassment due to being called cute. "Thanks, I'll remember that." he nodded.

Okay, the wee muppet was very cute. Jack smiled at him. "You're welcome. If you need any advice, grab me, okay? I'm happy to help out, and this is my area of expertise, after all."

"Thanks again!" Robin bounced.
