Right, so... I'm going to assume that's a yes. [Breathe.] You've known her for a while. What do you think the odds are she'd say something and not realize it might have two meanings? One of them really different and maybe a whole lotta suggestive?
[Lar, Ruby has no idea what penny's been accidentally suggesting. She's as innocent as they come. Hell. Penny probably knew more with some of the books that she's reading.]
Yeaaaah, that sounds about right. It's not a bad thing. She's not saying anything weird. I just don't think she realizes what she's saying. Haha.
[She reached up and raked her hand through her hair.]
you think this might be a situation where I should teach them to her one at a time or all at once?
[You know, before Penny brightly, boldly announces that she's going over to her lover's house to spend the night in her bed, or something similar, having absolutely no clue what she's saying? God help them all, she might do that on the network!]
Yeah, we'll figure it out. Kinda a lot of ground to cover for both of us. Not exactly normal dating material in either case, so we're in virgin territory.
[...damnit, that sounded wrong.]
I think she's also reading cheesy romance novels for advice. It's kinda funny most of the time. [Horrifying other times.]
Have more faith in her than me, trust me. [She snickered.] And oh god, she really is isn't she? Look, if you find her reading something called a Harlequin, give her another book. PLEASE. I read one of those once. Gawd. She doesn't need ideas from them.

Yeah. She does.
Why?

[Ahem]
Right, did she quote you the dictionary definition?
[She had a hunch]
no subject
Okay... Maybe I did but shut up. I didn't mention you.
[There's a pause as she wracks her little brain over that next question.]
I don't know! I don't just know the dictionary definitions of words! I've barely read a dictionary!

[Ruby has no idea. She already messes up the meanings of words enough on her own.]
Probably pretty high?
She doesn't exactly have a lot of experience going out and talking with people? That's probably going to happen a lot?

[She taps her chin in thought.]
You might have to use your judgement on that one. I'd start with one at a time and if she's not too overwhelmed move onto more?
That's just a comfort level you're both going to have to figure out.

It gets... Easier as it goes along, if that helps out at all?
[Ruby can't help but snort.]
She definitely is. I can hear her read parts out loud sometimes.
