I Lose All Sense Of Reason [open post]

[summerdude]

Magnus is walking down the front steps of the Mansion, freshly-loaded bag of food in tow, ruminating on a few of his most recent and devastatingly embarrassing conversations, when he hears footsteps behind him.

Well. He did tell Galahad he'd ask everyone. Might as well start now. "Can you explain the birds and the bees -- I mean, sex -- to me?" he demands, even before he sees who it is.

"Then I'll find some," Magnus says, with a firm nod.

"Mark them well. When the doe wants breeding her cunt will be red and wet. It may be so with Men also, but I've made no study of't."

"Like," Magnus says, trying earnestly to make the connection. "...A period?"

[new_inglewoodblues]

"What?"

[summerdude]

"M...enstrual cycle? I don't know any other words for it. The time of the month? Monthly, um, bleeding?"

"Courses," she says, laughing. "Nay. It is the opposite."

"I see," says Magnus, nodding and making a mental note to get someone -- maybe Galahad? Maybe someone else -- to bring him a copy of the What's Happening To My Body? Book For Girls so he can learn more. Or maybe he could brave the library on his own and find a copy.

"Dost thou?" her eyes sparkling.

[summerdude]

"Probably not," he admits. "I'm putting the pieces together though?"

[new_inglewoodblues]

"Remember. Dominion for a lady. The rest shall follow, or not."

Magnus salutes her. "Thanks, Ragnelle," he says. "I appreciate you."

Ragnelle grins at him, and then she's gone.
