[Video/Action]

[So, you guys remember Kida Radio, right? Well, the following post is brought you by Kida Industries. It's a video recording, with the journal propped up to give a good shot of Masaomi. Sure it's unseasonably cold, at at least it's not raining. As a result, he is outside in his hoodie (a PINK one, not a white one, I might add, thanks to Frey). He's on top of a crate he's set up a little outside the square, and making some dramatic motions by way of his opening.]

Welcome, welcome, to the one and only broadcast for self-betterment, Kida Radio! Today is yoooour lucky day, Luceti for I - a man without parallel, Masaomi Kida, am not stepping forward to give you advice for all the things you might need advising for in your life!

[And here he lips off the crate, leaning his face in on the journal, grinning ear to ear]

Need to know how to ask a girl out? Need someone to ask them out for you?! Need advice on what type of drink to have?! What about clothes and color coordination?! I know it all! After all, many a boy has looked at me and thought "damn, if I could only be half as good as Masaomi Kida, and my jokes only a tenth as good, I'd be set for life." Well, this is your biiiig~ chance!

Bold! Dynamic!! Come and I'll answer- [Leaping back up onto the box] All your problems! If you doubt me, know that even someone like Yuuhei Hanejima would be jealous of my brilliant mastery of language and the human psyche!

And ladies, please. Don't worry - I've got moooore than a enough heart to give all of you a good time. You don't need to rush!

[Feel free to respond to his video, or walk in on him performing to a book in town]

That would depend on whether you were older, younger, or equivalent to twenty-four in Terran years. Which... is likely similar enough to yours for the argument to be moot.

[In other words, yes.]

I have found that maturity and not age is the real indicator of anything helpful in this regard, though. [And as much as Robert doesn't like to admit it, he is not mentally mature in some manners.]

I don't look older than twenty, right?

[Inhale, exhale, and then he strikes a pose] Well then, if you're an adult, what about your thoughts on an adult relationship with this guy?!

... Adult relationship? [Robert piques an eyebrow.] Do you mean a sexual relationship, then?

[Completely deadpan. Like the topic is just as mundane as, say, the weather or what hair colour they have.]

---Yes, like that!

[With some color rising in his face. Holy God you don't say these things, man. He blanches a little] Not that I need to know the dets, but if you like the guy for the mind, you better at least find him... y'know, hot!

[HIVES. HIVES.]

[Not only can Robert not read social cues, but he has no sexuality taboo whatsoever. This is a bad combination for anybody who doesn't like hearing atrociously blunt statements.]

Oh, I certainly do find him attractive. For multiple reasons, but most notably the fact that he... is him. That supersedes anything else, to me.

... May I ask why you enquired about this, though?

---You really think that?

[Flatly. He doesn't answer the question, but an attraction and supersede something as basic as species? He still can't fathom that]

Why should I not? The most important part of him is his exquisitely-intelligent mind. That is the part of him that I love, and that loves me in return.

Were I only to want someone for zir body, it would be as superficial as being with an inanimate object. In that case, why bother? The emotional investment would no longer be worth the effort when I could simply turn to something like simulations.

[It's clear by Robert's tone - and his inability to effectively lie - that he completely and sincerely thinks everything he's saying.]

This isn't to say that his body should be ignored, either. But bodies can change very easily, even outside of things like experiments. Barring forcible intervention, a person's mind is much harder to change, and that comparable permanence means it is a much greater indication of a person than the person's body.

... Granted, the Malnosso have made it obvious that they can alter either at will.

...You know, Sensei, I can't tell if you're a computer or a pervert right now.

[Mostly to break up how awkward and overwhelmed her feels all at once. He chuckles a little at the tail end of it]

[Robert is... exceedingly confused by this statement.]

I suppose I could understand sounding like a computer, due to my logic and rationality... but a pervert? That... seems illogical. Nothing I'm saying strikes me as particularly strange.

Presumably, when you find a person interesting, you aren't simply attracted to that person's body, are you? Or... [Well, he could be, but then what would be the point?

So confusing...]

[MUST. NOT. LAUGH.

...Snort]

And this boyfriend of yours likes you too? Sounds like you guys are nice set already.

[~~WHY DO YOU KEEP LAUGHING AT HIM.~~]

I must admit, he is the first person I have felt so strongly about in a very long time.

[If Robert doesn't count Helios. But he knows that won't ever work, now.]

... And we are matched quite well in other aspects, mostly intellect. He is quite the engineering genius, as well... [Sorry, Masaomi. Robert is prone to gushing about Don's intellect if you give him a chance.]

Mm~ Then what are you worried about? If the guy knows he obviously is okay with your flaws.

[Flatly. It reminds him of Saki to say that. It's hard to say positive when he thinks about Saki]

I am... still very new to this sort of thing. I only ever had one other relationship before...

[And it didn't end well.

But Robert can't get up the courage to say that to a stranger.]

I do not want to make a mistake, not when getting things right is so imperative.

[Sigh] When a relationship isn't right, then it's just not right, right? Right now you still think you can manage this, so you're probably right for each other.

[Even if it's weird] But you need social lessons or something, right?

[That is a lot of "right"s in one sentence.]

... Yes, I do believe that I need comprehensive social lessons, however those would be actually taught.

[Robert resisted therapy during his school years, but now it seems... less logical to resist it, now.]

Might need to hit up someone else, sorry to say~ I might be a guru, but I'm no teacher when it comes to a structured class. Not my style.

... I appreciate the assistance that you provided, though.

I suppose I might be... worrying too much about this. [Not that he ever really stops worrying. But this has kind of put it in perspective.]

Perhaps eventually I may be able to assist you in return, Mr. Kida. [Though Robert doesn't exactly know how he could, but he's willing to offer.]

Oh~ Well then, I'll be counting on you when the time comes, Sensei! [With a bit grin and a thumbs up, even]
