*Alex stops and leans back in his chair, looking back at Cora upside down*
Hey! How's it goin' baby?

:::Suddenly he seemed just fine...except he'd taken to calling her a baby:::
I'm fully grown, Alex. And...and how is what going? :::She looked at him wide-eyed, and already starting to redden around the cheek bones:::

Blushing, eh? I guess you figured a few things out. Glad to hear it.

I... :::she could feel her face getting warmer::: Yes. I understand now... and I need to tell you that...
:::Her fists clentched a little, and somehow, telling the truth felt a little painful. It was a new sensation, since the truth was supposed to just be simple fact, and hardly anything else. This, though, was about love...and it was hardly simple:::
:::With a last intake of air:::
I need to tell you that you are not the one that I should be kissing with. And that, you can't love me.
:::She awaited his reaction:::

*Alex started laughing*
Was there something else you SHOULD be doing with me? A little bit more intimate, perhaps?

:::She can't understand what he'd found so amusing...had she made a fool of herself. But then he asked...:::
No..! :::As though he'd said something naughty...he had, hadn't he?::: We cannot be intimate. I just said, you can't love me.

*Alex hopped up out of his chair and grinned devilishly. He began to circle her, holding his chin as if in thought*
But your logic IS flawed isn't it? Love is an emotion, is it not? And emotions are felt regardless of the approval or disapproval of the source of such emotion. So you are wrong when you say that I CAN'T love you, hmm?

Well...I...think I am right. If someone else already loves me, that means that you're not allowed to, right?
:::She was SURE that's what they said...or could it be something else they had meant?:::
You're only supposed to be affectionate with one person. And you are not him. So, therefor, you cannot be affectionate with me.
:::She thought, that ought to do it. She was starting to feel a little less bad about what she was telling him too...he almost seemed to be enjoying it, strangely:::

*Alex shook his head*
Someone has been feeding you lies, then. Most people feel love for a great many people. Even friendship is a kind of love, my confused little petunia. You see, love is an emotion that a person feels, like anger....
*Alex looks Cora over again*
... or confusion. If a person can be confused by many things, or angry at many people... why can't a person feel love for many people?

:::She began to look at him interestedly...maybe someone was finally explaining this all to her? Finally...maybe?:::
Oh, but I do... I love lots of people. But they already explained that the kind of love that you feel for someone that you are intimate with, is reserved for one person only. Just one person, and there is a person I am intimate with, so I cannot be intimate with you. Right?
:::She finally asked:::

Nope. I question your sources. Who are THEY to tell you what you can or can't do? Isn't that up to you? Shouldn't you be the one to decide what you can or can't do? Why is someone else allowed to tell you what your limitations are, hmm?

:::She paused. It seemed obvious:::
Well...! I certainly don''t know what they are. And I trust them. They wouldn''t lie to me. They''re the people that come here, my friends, the ones I love.

:::She nods passively:::
I do, I love you like a friend, like the others. But...I don't know that I love you the same way... I think I might trust them more. I've known them longer.
:::She began to squint, not at him, but in thought about what sort of thing this meant:::

*tsk* I think that you are just a little confused about your feelings. Thats okay though. Understanding your feelings for youself takes time. Believe what you like, but I know the truth. And I'm glad to share with you if you so choose.
