Sasha didn't speak until after she'd taken a small bite of the pie. It was good - it was really good - but after the first bite she set the fork down and rested her chin on her hand. Ofie was given an odd look. "This is.. really strange for me to talk about, Ofie. I mean. I grew up alone, my whole life, but I still knew what certain changes in my body meant." She tilted her head to the side and puffed out her cheeks slightly. "Granted, it wasn't until I came here that I really acknowledged them - please tell me you know what sex is, Ofie, and how it works?"

"Ah really dun see how yer growin' up an' knowin' changes has anythin' really ta do wit' mah problem - no offense ta ya by any means." The sun teen mentally smacked herself. "Ah mean, what Ah'm tryin' ta say is. . .we're all different yeah an' maybe - "
It was then that Ofelia almost did die during the course of the conversation, a piece of pie going entirely down the wrong tube as soon as the word sex escaped from Sasha's lips. The redhead quickly got up and went to the sink, sticking her head beneath the faucet, and she forced water down her throat to prevent a horrible accident from happening on account of her cooking.
Even if it was her own death she didn't want any word to get out that her baking and cooking had killed someone because Rep would be forever a*****e about it. Also she'd be dead and that was sad. A few more mouthfuls of water cleared her out, not to mention she was able to wash her face, and a very, very tomato red Ofelia came back and sat down in front of Sasha.
Meekly, like a child being scolded, she opened her mouth to reply. "Ah...do know what sex is, an'. . . a vague bit 'bout how it works." She said, all the while getting redder and redder. Sex was not something she talked about, thought about, or anything like that. Ofelia wasn't a modest person so it wasn't like nudity (he own nudity, that is) bothered her too much and occasionally she could overlook someone else getting naked. It was only when thoughts of them and her together entered her head that she had a problem.
Just like in her dreams, with her and Before. With her and Deryk, and then that one time with Melvin that had actually turned out to be a nightmare. The touching of lips and limbs, the holding of torsos together, and tongues that -
Well great, now Ofelia had a nosebleed. A thin trail of it started out from her nose and ran down her chin, puddling before it dripped onto her hand.
Awkward.
"Well, uh." Ofelia had no idea what else to say.

Sasha had been about to open her mouth and go on about the things that might've probably maybe been happening to Ofie's body, and then suggest that maybe sex might be something that she should look into doing with someone - and she could probably suggest a few handsome single men if -- --and suddenly Ofie was choking, and Sasha rose to her feet in alarm. "Are you ..." Sasha wasn't sure how to handle the situation when Ofie's nose started bleeding. Her first thought was that maybe there really was something wrong with the other hunter. Sasha silently moved to snatch up a roll of paper towels before ripping one off in order to offer it to Ofie. "I.. you.."

"Ah'm really sorry." Ofelia managed to pinch her nose a bit before rolling the paper towel into a nice plug. She pushed it up the nostril that was bleeding, a look of utter shame (not unlike a kicked puppy) on her face, and she glanced back and forth between her pie and Sasha several times. She must look so stupid, so horrible for panicking, and so she decided to come clean.
"As...as soon as ya mentioned sex Ah thought 'bout mah dreams an' then mah nose started ta bleed 'cause it was jus'-." She trailed off, not wanting to say much more. Her cheeks were still scarlet, her eye still kicked-puppy syndrome, and she had a wad of rolled up paper towel in her nose.
What a champion for womankind Ofelia was. Thankfully though everything was starting to click, or maybe she was doing her best to connect the dots so she didn't look like a complete retard in front of her companion.
" . . . . so...um...Ah take it. . . .sex is why Ah'm like this?"pinchmonster ofelia is pretty sure everyone on the island thinks she's retarded or crazy )=

"Yes, well," Sasha pushed her plate of pie away and gave Ofie a concerned look. If the teen got a nosebleed every time the topic came up, it was rather horrifying to think about what might actually happen if ... Sasha sighed. "It's a natural thing that happens to us, I guess, is what I'm trying to say, Ofie." She gave a dainty clearing of her throat. "And. Well, life is short - especially as a Sun - so what I'm suggesting is you find someone you trust and just." Another clearing of her throat. "You know."

" . . . Ah know what? Ah should find someone an' do what? Tell 'em 'bout mah dreams? Aren' Ah doin' that wit'cha?" If talking was all it took then that would be okay, she'd easily swallow her pride (what little there was) and shame (which was practically never there anyway) and tell anyone and everyone about it so long as it got her some decent sleep and stopped ruining all her clothes.
And then...more dots connected, her face once again lit up, but then it quickly fell into a shadowed state of sorrow. It took less than three seconds so it probably looked like she was having a small seizure. Stupid horrible no poker face.
But now she needed to admit the truth. "Jus'...so yanno. . . Ah'm pretty sure all the guys on this island think Ah'm crazy an'/or hate me. Or they're taken by someone, or jus' can' see me as anythin' but that weird redhead who cooks an' has a deathwish." It was getting painful to talk badly about herself but it was what always came easiest to Ofelia. She was well aware of her faults, her strengths, and because of her stubborn nature it was even easier to hate herself continuously. "Ah trust lots'a people but the problem is no one trusts me back."

Sasha let out a low puff of breath when it all seemed to dawn on Ofie. She hadn't even realized she'd been holding her breath, but she felt like she could relax when Ofie connected the dots. Sasha hadn't wanted to have to explain how the slots and tabs issue worked, so she was thankful that Ofie could figure that out on her own. "I think that maybe people are confused about you, that's all." Sasha cleared her throat. "You don't have even a .. a friend that might help you out?"

For what probably would be the hardest thing to admit, even if she didn't think about it, Ofelia closed her eyes and smiled sadly at Sasha.
"No. I don't."

Sasha pursed her lips and soaked in the expression on Ofie's face. "You could always just. Talk to someone in your division. They seem like something of a brotherhood." She shrugged. "If all else fails, you can always ask, ah," Sasha's mouth wrenched slightly, "Allan." Ugh. "As a final resort, maybe you could find someone while out on leave?"

"Um....pretty much all the guys in mah group are gay or taken or Jerry." She ran down the list of names she knew on her fingers. She hadn't met many other suns, as far as she knew she and Madeline were probably the only females? She at least hadn't seen any others so that was okay and the guys, well. There wasn't much to pick from there because she was certain she'd met all of them as well.
Ask Allan for help?
Ask Allan.
Allan.
Ofelia had to cover her hand with her mouth to prevent the snicker that came out, her eye watering with tears from the quick and sudden onset of laughter that Sasha had called forth. She was doing pretty well, all that could be heard was muffled chuckles, and she did her best to clear her throat to try and move on. "Al...Allan Ah'm not even sure. . .likes guys or gals or real life people or sommin'." Ofelia gasped as she laughed, still biting on her lip. There was no room, no room at all for her to pinch an inch, but she just did because Allan.
Then came the topic of a stranger on leave, and she...felt a bit awkward about that. "Shouldn'...yer first time be wit' someone ya know or love? That's...what Ah always believed anyway, sorry if it sounds old fashioned." She looked down at her hands, which had folded in her lap, and then back at Sasha. "Wasn'...yer first time wit' someone ya loved, or at least cared fer deeply?"

"He's your division lead, I'm sure he could.. ehm. Point you in the right direction. And Jerry is." She cleared her throat delicately. "Jerry was always a very devoted companion. It's .. complex. He's a little off-center lately - I mean, I'm sure he could use a friend to talk to. He really isn't.. I think he has good intentions, but." She honestly had no idea what to say about Jerry, not since their last interaction. Ofie's final question had Sasha meeting Ofie's gaze straight on. Her first time had been with someone she trusted beyond measure, someone she held in high esteem, someone who had been there for her during her darkest days. "Yes," Sasha replied faintly, "it was - I'm not sure what other advice to give if there's nobody on the island who you trust, love or care for deeply."

When Sasha started about Jerry, they way she talked made Ofelia feel like she might have stepped on a landmine. If she could recall now then yes, this was Sasha - the person that Jerry had seemed head over heels in love with. They weren't together now but from what Ofelia could see and understand Jerry still wasn't over her.
That also meant, if they weren't together, that Sasha's first time probably had not been with him. A more curious day would see Ofelia wondering who this mystery person was and she'd try to subtly (impossible) pry information but today was about her and well, Sasha deserved some measure of privacy. She was going to say sorry about talking about Jerry that way but maybe leaving it in the dust was for the best.
". . . . well, there is one person. Ah...wasn' really bein' too truthful 'bout it 'cause Ah'm certain there's someone he loves an'. . .mah feelins' will probably jus' be a bother fer him." Her cheeks blushed this time again but not the color of a tomato or any other red plant. This was a blush of admittance, one that had taken her a while to accept, and it was a dusky rose-red on her tanned face. "If Ah were ta ask him or tell him Ah dunno what it would do to our friendship which Ah've already nearly burned ta the ground."

After gathering certain supplies for Rin just a few days past, Sasha had seen a few things - things she hadn't even known existed. While the graphic magazines had been dismissed as a bit too bawdy for Sasha's tastes, the life trainee had gone digging a little deeper. She'd seen things. Things."Well, Ofie, I mean. I think that there are other ways to go about, ehm." Sasha pursed her lips. "Taking care of business. I've got a friend - Rin - and she's.. well. You could always talk to her, too, I guess. Advice and whatnot. My, ah.. knowledge is rather limited." A brief pause. "Or you could just talk to this person, explain things, and go from there - see what happens." Sasha gave a quick shrug of her shoulders.

Ask Rin? Wasn't Rin like...Rep's only girl best friend and a person who seemed to hate her even though Ofelia didn't really know her? The redhead's brow line creased as she tried to place the name with a face, only vaguely remembering that there had been a Rin who was promoted alongside her and a few others. Was that the same person?
Why would Rin want to help her? It was on Sasha's advice though that she did so and (for the moment) Ofelia felt that Sasha knew best about what was going on even if the other woman said her knowledge was limited. The fact that she'd already had sex before placed her well, well ahead of Ofelia and her problems with having wet dreams.
"But....what if Ah talk ta him an' then everythin' gets worse? Should Ah jus'...try ta sweat it all out or really go an' talk ta yer friend . . .Rin? Ah dunno who she is, Ah mean the name sounds familiar an' Ah might'a seen her 'round but Ah'm not sure we've ever properly met."
Also taking care of business what. Ofelia had heard of sex, sure. It was in the movies she sometimes walked in on when she brought food to people in the life labs, and she wasn't so stupid that she didn't hear people going at it when she walked the halls at night thanks to insomnia.
Masturbation, if that was what was being implied, was totally, totally out of her grasping range at the moment.

"I'm saying that if you think that speaking with your friend about this, just to get it out of your system or," she waved a hand, not entirely keen on explaining everything word for word, "whatever - if talking to him will ruin everything, then maybe you should just go see Rin and maybe she'll have ah.. ideas on exploring other options."
Sasha cleared her throat.
"If you feel uncomfortable doing that, then.. well, you know.. there are a few men on the island who would be more than happy to do the friendly thing - and if that's not an option, either, then I suppose at least now you know what's going on, and you can take care of business as you see fit."
She was starting to get a headache.
