[Yang would much rather talk in person than focus on thinking her words anyway.]
Sure thing. I'll meet you out front.
[Subtlety may not always be her strong suit but Yang can definitely be discreet when she wants to be. Unless Pyrrha beats her there, she'll wait outside, a few steps away from the shared household.]
[ Pyrrha is generally pretty together and assured, it's true! However, in this instance, she is definitely out of her comfort zone. Briefly, a faint flush lingers high up on her cheeks, hectic slashes of colour that rise and dissolve.
As they get further down the street, she knows she can't dally the point forever.
So, without much more hesitation, she blurts out -- ]
Yang, have you ever... been with someone? [ Because there are many ways that can be construed, Pyrrha will add, ] ... as in slept with them?
Obviously whatever she was thinking Pyrrha might ask about, it wasn't that. She doesn't look flustered exactly just...caught off-guard.]
I...uh... [The smallest hesitation.] Yeah...yeah, I guess I have.
[There...may not have been any actual sleeping involved at the time, but...
A thought occurs to her and her gaze narrows just the tiniest bit.]
...Dooooes this have anything to do with Jaune?
[Now she's not saying she'll rip his balls off if he's pressuring Pyrrha into something she's not ready for or wants, mostly because she's pretty sure Jaune wouldn't do that and Pyrrha could kick his ass just fine on her own. And that'd be jumping to conclusions.
[ LOOK SHE'S NOT READY TO SAY THE S-E-X WORD YET ]
... Yes.
[ It's not what Yang thinks, though. If anything, Pyrrha has been the one with intimacy on her mind, initiating things and trying (and failing!) to gauge whether or not he's ready and willing. Yang's potential misunderstanding of the situation makes sense, though; most people don't realise how aggressive Pyrrha is. ]
The thing is, I really - I want to... but...
[ adskfhs ]
And we almost did, but it was during the period of time when the city's crystal was stolen, and I suppose we got a little too worked up, [ that was the day the Nora and Pyrrha's room basically got destroyed, Yang's likely seen the mess, ] and then Penny came to the door...
[ It was basically the worst.
Pyrrha tops it off with this thoroughly concerning remark: ] And we weren't exactly, you know, careful, either.
[ everything about it was wrong and she's so overwhelmed now, this is scary!! ]
[She has seen that mess. She figured it was better not to ask. She was right.]
O-kay. [She punctuates that a bit because she's just not sure she wants any more details about how Jaune and Pyrrha melted a room with the power of whoopie.] So you got a little carried away.
...A lot carried away. [They did destroy a room, geezes you two. Regardless, she offers a small smile.] It happens.
I mean, regular hormones are bad enough without emotion crystals messing with stuff, right?
[Sometimes they make you do crazy things. Like suddenly kiss your teammate that you've grown really fond of. It happens, you know! ...Haha...
...Anywho.]
It...sounds like maybe you wanna try again though?
[She's not a mind-reader, Pyrrha, even if she's not a half-bad people-reader.]
[ She did say, she really wants to! Despite their failed attempts - one at the time of this thread, but a second to follow - she can't help but have that desire linger. It's the typical fare of a warm blooded adolescent, made all the more urgent by her situation back home. ]
It...can? It sorta depends on...things. [She makes a weird hand gesture with her right.] I mean, it can kinda hurt after the first time too, if you're doing it with somebody who doesn't, you know...know what they're doing? So...
[She brings her left hand up to mess around with a tendril of blonde hair. This is such a trippy conversation.]
It's not bad though. It's just sorta like, stretching a muscle wrong? Or a pinch? It's weird...
[ It's a somewhat frightening thought. Right now, Pyrrha finds herself wishing she was as brave as Yang, but that's a notion she has quite a bit.
A slight sigh. ]
Sorry, Yang. I know this bizarre. It's just... it's the sort of thing I would have asked my mother about, probably, if I, uh, could. [ But she can't, being here, her circumstances being what they are. ]
[The not having a mom around to ask stuff about part. Tooootally gets that.]
I dunno if this helps but...it's really not as big a deal as people make it out to be? Er, well, it can be a big deal...to you, at the time...but, you know...
[Yang pauses, having trouble grasping the words she wants. Where the hell was she trying to go with that? She shrugs awkwardly.]
I guess I mean...don't worry if it's not storybook perfect the first time? I don't think anybody gets it 100% right on the first try, no matter what Blake's stupid books say.
[...Not that she's ever read those. Ahem.
Her expression softens.]
I'm sure Jaune wants to take care of you the best he can. [...] ...He...does know what he's supposed to do, right?
[And thought she was being super subtle about it. In a room with three teammates of varying degrees of nosiness.]
You know the kind: Mysterious girl meets even more mysterious boy. They fall in love and have an unforgettable first night of passion filled with fancy descriptive words and weird flower imagery?
[Again, she's totally never read these books. Ever.]
[ Pyrrha isn't quite into reading novels, even young adult or romance. Comic books are cool, sometimes! ]
I guess I can understand the appeal? But, Jaune isn't very mysterious. [ As for passion, she's seen firsthand what an abundance of it can do, especially when the city's emotional output is out of whack. ]
I mean, they're not bad. [Well, the writing is, but...] They're just...corny.
[And she may be ragging on them more than she normally would because Blake liked them. ...Moving on.]
Look, if he doesn't, do you...want me to talk with him? I can definitely tell him what not to do, at least.
[She may have been joking before but she's 100% serious here. If she alone, of their friends here, has to have a "How do I do the sex?" talk with Jaune she will bear that burden. If only because she's worried Pyrrha'll be too nice to tell him he's terrible at it or something.]
[ Pyrrha does kind of want this talk to happen, because she's nervous and virginal and Yang is sexy and experienced, and that's an important distinction!
On the other hand, she certainly doesn't want to embarrass Jaune. ]
[Sexy, sure. Experienced. ...Somewhat. It's more that Yang decided long ago that if she was going to do this with somebody, that she'd make very sure she got what she wanted out of it too.]
I guess I'd just use a variation of my old 3-step boyfriend initiation program?
[She lifts a finger up for each step as she lists them off.]
"Don't Just Stick It In There: and other ways to avoid me punching you in the face," [One.] "How Not To Totally Suck at Foreplay, pun intended" [Two.] And "Yes, Girls Orgasm Too. No, it's not as hard as you think."
[...Three.]
I can make the first one a little less specific. You probably wouldn't deck a guy for pulling your hair in the heat of the moment...
[ It's diplomatically said. Honestly, Pyrrha might pinch Jaune if he did that, although the times he's had his hands in her hair in the past have been really, really ni— nikos, focus.
...
Wait were they talking about?
Oh, right. ]
Actually, if you have any advice for - well - foreplay...

Yang? Do you have a moment to speak?
no subject
Pyrrha? [Wait, yeah, that's definitely Pyrrha.] Uhh...sure.
Do you want me to come find you or d'you wanna just think-talk it at me?
no subject
[ It's extremely unlikely that Pyrrha will accidentally project these thoughts to anyone else. She also does not want to take that chance. ]
Why don't we take a walk? We can get some ice cream. My treat.
no subject
Sure thing. I'll meet you out front.

... Moving on. ]
Yang! Hello. Thanks for meeting me.
no subject
[Said with a warm smile.
She'll let Pyrrha pick the direction they head in since the eventual ice cream'll be her treat. But Yang doesn't wait too long before she asks.]
So...what's on your mind?
no subject
[ Growing a tad bashful, she scratches at her hair briefly and meanders her way to saying it. ]
I was hoping we could talk about - things, and --
[ ... ]
I could use some advice.
no subject
Okay.
[That's gotta be a first.]
...What about?
[Color her curious. And also hopeful she actually has something useful here because Pyrrha asking her for advice, omigawd?]
no subject
As they get further down the street, she knows she can't dally the point forever.

[ she heard it hurts! ]

... Blake's books?
[ Pyrrha wasn't in RWBY's dorm room enough to see them! ]
no subject
Okay but does Jaune know what he's doing or...?Yang rubs the bridge of her nose.]
Blake...liked to read romance novels.
[And thought she was being super subtle about it. In a room with three teammates of varying degrees of nosiness.]
You know the kind: Mysterious girl meets even more mysterious boy. They fall in love and have an unforgettable first night of passion filled with fancy descriptive words and weird flower imagery?
[Again, she's totally never read these books. Ever.]
no subject
Ask her again in two weeks, Yang.]Oh, I've never read anything like that.
[ Pyrrha isn't quite into reading novels, even young adult or romance. Comic books are cool, sometimes! ]
I guess I can understand the appeal? But, Jaune isn't very mysterious. [ As for passion, she's seen firsthand what an abundance of it can do, especially when the city's emotional output is out of whack. ]
I - think - he knows what to do?

[ She trails off again. ]
Or, I guess just - being safe?
[ Spoilers: they won't be safe. ]

Regardless, her answer is immediate.]
If you don't have any condoms yet, get some.
[And blunt.
FOR THE LOVE OF DUST, PYRRHA, DON'T DO WHAT HER PARENTS (probably) DID!!!]

I don't know if -- [ if he has anyway.
Pyrrha reframes that sentence slightly. ]
Is it my responsibility? If I'm the one trying to...
[ yeah did you think she was going to finish that sentence either ]
