Oh! Do you want to come? I didn't think to invite you because we're not sleeping together, but if you want to come you totally can.

[dreamsofwings]

I dunno, could be fun...

[ He's actually thinking about it now. ]

But. I only sleep with men, you know.

[abnormalizes]

There will be men there! And if anyone tries to pressure you into doing something you're not comfortable with, I will physically toss them out of my house.

[She takes this kind of thing seriously! No creeps allowed.]

[dreamsofwings]

I'm not worried about that. I can take care of myself. Anyways, you wouldn't invite anyone who doesn't respect other people.

[ Not knowingly, anyway. ]

If you want me there, I'll come. I...don't know what kind of present to bring to a sex party, though.

[ Let's be real, he doesn't know what to bring to any party. ]

[abnormalizes]

[Definitely not knowingly, but she's been wrong about people before.]

You don't have to bring anything! But if you want to, just bring what you'd bring to a normal birthday party, it doesn't have to be sex-related.

[Helpful??]

[dreamsofwings]

You know I'm shit at giving people gifts, right? Back home, we didn't really have the means to do things like that. I haven't figured out how to know what people like.

[ He knows Evangeline has a monster thing, but that's not helpful when it comes to birthday gifts. ]

I'll think of something. Thanks, um. For inviting me.

[abnormalizes]

Oh. In that case, gift cards are the easy gift if you don't know what to get someone. If you know what food they like, pick a restaurant, or if they like books get them a bookstore gift card.

[Gift-giving life hack!]

Any time, I hope you enjoy it.

[ It strikes Eren that there are so many mundane things he doesn't know about most of his friends here. It just never occurs to him to learn; he can be myopic in his world view, but he's seen too much for too long. The details of everyday life still sometimes just escape him. ]

I don't know what kind of food you like, or books.

[ If he was more expressive, he'd look embarrassed. As it is, there's a little pink that creeps into his cheeks. ]

I guess I should learn this stuff about people.

[abnormalizes]

You don't have to! Some people are better at retaining that kind of information than others, I don't think anyone's going to get on your case about it.

[She's certainly not going to call him a bad friend for not knowing it.]

I like meaty foods - pepperoni pizza, hamburgers, steak. And I read a lot of supernatural romance, but I also read a little of everything else.
