Do you think girls can be pretty with scars?
[Oh hey, there's a totally out of the left field question from Miss Peony this afternoon.]
[Oh hey, there's a totally out of the left field question from Miss Peony this afternoon.]
No. But. Big scars.
I asked Titania to remove mine and I feel sort of strange about it now.

[So Corbin would have kept typing except this whole thing is kind of a pain in the ass]
Hey, sorry, it was a bit easier for me to do it like this, but you can still write if you want.
But I mean... it's your body Pea, you can do what you want with it. If you didn't like the scars and wanted em gone then that's your business. But I don't think it makes a girl any less pretty just cause she's got some scars.
[He's not sure if she had them when they first met or if this is a more recent thing or if they've been gone for awhile, but he does think that Pea would be pretty with or without them]

[She's sticking with words because somehow that feels easier than admitting this is a big issue for her.]
It's okay.
It is but I also didn't let anyone see me with them other than two people. I used to hide them.
But now they're gone I feel guilty for asking for them to be gone. Because Titania wants me to be here and doing this which is like I never argue wit her I would die for her (I literally have!) and I got them doing something she asked me to do and
:(
I don't know. They made me feel ugly. But I feel weird without them.

[It takes him a little while to read her comment, and since he didn't turn his tome off she might be able to see him mouthing the words.]
[And then he has to think about it for a bit]
That's rough. I mean, you didn't like 'em, and that's fine, you know? Maybe you just feel weird cuz you're used to seeing em and now they ain't there?

[Illiteracy is nothing new to her. Dealing with Red Kite - the ranger who literally grew up in the wild - had been an experience in patience for her for some time now.]
I don't know. Maybe.
Thanks Corbin.
You're a good advice giver.

[If asked, Corbin would assert that he knew how to read and write, thanks. It wasn't his fault the letters kept switching around as he tried to read them. It made reading a trial that he usually avoided, and the bad eyesight didn't help]
[He smiles after reading her last message]
No problem, I'm glad it helped.
[He smiles after reading her last message]

Oh! I learnt something for you!
[For all of Corbin's advice about a serious topic Peony sounds surprisingly chirpy? And she starts to play a song. It's a proper thank you.]

[Peony at long last shows her face as well.
Might as well take the praise visibility.]
I found the sheet music in the library. There was a book of Earth songs. Even some from home I didn't know about.
There's lyrics but they're pretty...dull I guess?

[Corbin smiles and gives her a wave when Peony's face pops up on his page]
Hey Pea.
[He thinks about it a moment before he nods]
I guess so, I ain't never thought about it much before, but they don't tell much of a story, do they?
[He does like things that... well they aren't ballads, but he likes songs that tell stories more than ones that are just, whatever the lyrics to Wonderwall are.]

Not really.
And what is a wonderwall? I've never heard of one before.

Oh. Um well, it's mostly just a respect kind of thing? Since when we met it was cause I was helping you with the garden, so you were in charge. And you're older than me, not like that's a bad thing or you're old, but you know. It's just how I was taught I guess.
I ain't got to if you don't like it.
I ain't got to if you don't like it.
Oh okay, I understand!
I don't mind being called ma'am, exactly? I guess I just wasn't sure if that meant you saw me as like. A mom. Or a teacher or something. Cause neither of those are very sexy to me.
I mean, sometimes it's sexy, but not so much under those circumstances, does that make sense?

Oh no, not a mom. But um, you know, a teacher can be sexy, you can uh, learn a lot from someone and some of that could be sexy.
But um. Yeah. I get what you mean Miss Keyleth.
Would you like it if I didn't call you Miss Keyleth neither?
Sorry, I just wanted to know.
[Hold on a second...]
Why are you uh, thinking about if what I call you sounds sexy or not?
Cause I do. Think you're sexy I mean.
But um. Yeah. I get what you mean Miss Keyleth.

Really? [Keyleth has never considered this before, because her teacher growing up had been her dad, and so she puts the role into a very familial light. But HMMMM, if she's not being viewed in a familial, motherly-or-sisterly light, that could change things. She'll have to think about that more.]
Oh, yes, did I not say that? I didn't, did I. It's more, I was going to ask you if you wanted to have sex, but I was afraid that you saw me a certain way? Because of the ma'am and the miss.

Yeah, it's like a whole... thing where I'm from? Sexy older teacher and younger student.
Oh... oh yeah yeah sure that'd be great.
Like, most of the folks here are older than me, if I had a problem with that I'd never get any. And you're real pretty, Miss Keyleth, I ain't gonna lie. I just thought you weren't interested.
[He knows that plenty of people here found him attractive, or adorable, or cute, he's accepted that, he just hasn't figured out quite why]

Huh. Is that how you think of me? I don't think I'm actually that much older than you, honestly.
Oh, well, I like sex and you've been nice to me. [That is kind of Keyleth's only requirement. She can find something attractive in almost anyone, but if you're genuinely unkind to her or have a mean sense of humor, it's a complete turn-off.] Is there something wrong with being cute? I get called cute all of the time. OH do you think it's because we have red hair?

All and Wall are pretty poor rhymes, Corbin.
Is all music from your world like this?

I've heard worse, trust me. Lotsa folks like to rhyme the same word, lazy shit like that. I mean, I can't sing worth a damn, but I can tell you not to rhyme away-oh with hey-oh.
But nah, it ain't all like that. That's like... rock music? Sorta, I wouldn't put it in the same category as Aerosmith or some other bands that are supposed to be in the same category? And there's a buncha other kinds of music, some of it's good and some of it's pretty damn awful. It gets complicated when you get too much into it.

Oh? I just kinda assume most folks are. Except for Harry, I know he's the same age as me. You kinda seem... you don't act like you're my age.
I mean, not really wrong, I just ain't ever been called cute that much before I came here. Kind of weird when you're a guy, but I guess it ain't such a bad thing.
I don't know, do you think Caleb's cute? He's got red hair. [For the record, Corbin absolutely does think Caleb can be cute, but that's not the main descriptor he'd give] Oh, or Flint that works at the bookstore, he's got red hair too, but I don't think he ever gets called cute.

I'm 25, which is pretty young for a half-elf. [Corbin are you saying she acts like a mature adult? That's like the nicest thing anyone's ever said to her! Almost no one ever mistakes her for that!]
I would call Caleb handsome more than cute but I think that's more to do with his disposition than his looks, he seems too serious for cute.
