Dialogue: Ambre

- Arc 2 - (End of Arc 2)

***> Chapter 22:***

- Do they really judge such a thing?

Ambre was sitting next to Panthana, a can of orange juice in her hands. Panthana took a sip of her soda and nodded.

- Unfortunately, it's not uncommon, from what I've heard," she said.

Panthana turned her head to her friend and smiled.

- Silly, isn't it?

Ambre showed her disgust and shook her head.

- Completely stupid! Why judge such a thing!

Panthana shrugged her shoulders.

- I don't know, being different is a reason to be mocked, I guess? she offered.

Ambre finished her can and threw it towards the garbage can, just missing it. She sighed and got up to look for it and put it violently in the garbage can. Before sitting down again, she put her hands on her hips and watched Panthana.

- So wanting to date the same sex is a reason to be judged? she asked again.

- I thought you already knew that, you get very upset about it.

- I already knew that, but I like getting upset about it.

Ambre pointed to her breasts with her right thumb and even touched them.

- How can we judge a woman for loving what we have?

Panthana giggled.

- The opposite also...

- What do you mean?

- Why judge a man for liking what men have?

Ambre crossed her arms and nodded, still standing. Since she was with Panthana in the quiet room of the 2nd Support Team, they were both dressed only in panties.

- Being gay or lesbian is too good.

- Being straight too!" said Panthana with a smile.

Ambre made her a mocking smile.

- It is too basic, that!

Panthana shrugged her shoulders.

- You are obliged to use nonliving toys to imitate what we can have.

- But who says that your partners will know how to please you?

- Confidence !

They both laughed and Ambre sat down again, opening her second can. She spun it on her finger, not afraid to spill it, and sighed heavily.

- I'm glad I was born a Kemono," she said and took a sip.

Panthana didn't answer, but she thought the same thing: they were much freer. Even though she didn't care about humans right now, they both knew it wasn't a generalization, but their society seemed so... "ugly" compared to theirs. The Kemonos almost never judged each other, even if some thoughts or actions were illegal or really weird. Liking one thing or another, as long as it didn't hurt anyone, was not a problem. Love was taken seriously and even though having sex was more "free", cheating on your partner was a crime on the same level as killing someone. It was not an exaggeration and every Kemono took it seriously.

Judging someone for loving the same sex was stupid.

Judging someone for not liking others was just as stupid.

Kemonos lived much more freely than humans, and while this could have its disadvantages, almost no Kemono complained: all enjoyed it.

- If a human came to judge me for going out with Maxia, I think I would kiss Maxia with my tongue in front of him to piss him off, ahah!

- So cruel~

They laughed again and Panthana put down her bottle of soda, now finished. She looked at Ambre and smiled widely, which made a question mark appear above Ambre's head.

- ?

She questioned her with her eyes and Panthana apologized.

- Nothing, I was just thinking that I'm happy that you're happy.

Ambre blinked and smiled.

- Of course I am!

She ran a finger under her nose.

- And thank you.

Ambre showed her teeth as she closed her eyes, a big smile on her face.

- And you, I hope you will manage to have a child!
