Hi, it's me again, and I know that asking everyone questions at once can kind of be a bad idea sometimes or most of the times, but...

I went to the store to prepare for this whole feast thing, and I was offered something free for... For pride? It made rainbows follow me, and I don't see what that has to do with being proud, so there's definitely something here that I'm missing. When I asked the shopkeep they went on about flags and representation, but I didn't really get it.

So... Is there anyone who wants to explain that to me, and am I the only one confused by this?

Oh? Then if you're not human what are you?

I just find it strange that there is a particular celebration for something everyone does, but I have never fully understood human culture anyway.

Something worse than a human.

Is it something everyone does? Sex with someone else? Because that's not something I've done before.

Oh? Well, now you have me curious; you write and spell correctly, so you couldn't be a troll or an orc. That sort of thinking you should leave to others anyway. Whatever you are, it's yours. If anyone else takes issue with it, make it their problem.

Sex is something everyone can do, and most everyone does. Whether or not they choose to depends on the person. Some only do it to have children, others do it to have a good time. Some people need to be in a committed relationship or involve feelings and others don't care if they don't know the other person's name, as long as everyone's enjoying it. Two or more consenting adults having a good time, that's all that matters.

You don't know very much about me, so perhaps your judgment is flawed.

I... See. It's never been something I could consider before, so I don't know much about it. It probably would've gotten me killed, I'm sure.
