Hey, Agnes. It's Anthony, from the park and the whole hand-holding business. Not the weirdest introduction I've had to someone considering this city, sorry if it was a bit forward, though.
Thought I'd check up and see how you're settling in. The first month can be a tough one.
I believe as you pointed out at the time, I was the one who started it. You have nothing to apologize for. Hello, Anthony. Thank you for your message.
[Time for Crowley to get way too much information right off the bat because she has no particular concept of a filter.]
I would say that I'm settling in as well as can be expected, under the circumstances. I recently had sexual relations for the first time, in order to participate in society in the way that's dictated. I am also making steps to mitigate my physically limitations.
It's alright, hard to say anything that'll startle me
Can't imagine you'll get in any trouble for it, here, and it's more about your comfort than anything. Most people just consider that sort of thing private, I suppose
It can be a bit tricky, but I've only said more than I meant to once or twice. This place seems more inclined to make you do things than to talk about them
[Really, the whole purpose of this place evades her. It seems so strange and impractical...but she can't hate it. The city has provided her, already, with too much hope. It's outweighed the fear and the hurt and the anger.]
If I may ask, how have you been, as well, since our previous encounter?
[Though she's still within a mortal lifetime, she's lived much longer than her appearance suggests. She'd expect that for Crowley to say such a thing, he must be much, much older than he appears. It's not an unheard of thing for those who aren't human.]
I'm sure you've seen many things change throughout your life.

Right.
Should I say congratulations on having your cherry popped?
no subject
[That seems silly.]
no subject
Suppose what I was getting at is whether you're alright with what happened? Sex isn't always a good thing
no subject
[Which is to say she had a meltdown because she thought she would have a literal meltdown and everything was going to be on fire.]
But I believe I'm alright.
no subject
For the record, since I figure you're lacking some experience here, people usually aren't quite so upfront about sex with relative strangers
no subject
I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
[Which he said he already figured so she supposes there's no need to be too embarrassed about it. Now...now she knows!]
I'll be more mindful in the future; thank you for letting me know so I don't make the same mistake twice.

I've been alright, actually. Bet it'll all go to shit with whatever the city throws at us next, but I'm starting to get used to that sort of thing
no subject
[In part because it's good to be adaptable, even in the worst of situations. In part because he's been alright in general.]
I hope I can relate to that feeling sooner rather than later. I'd like to be prepared for whatever happens next.

[Rude, Agnes.]

So I'm older than you, I'm sure.
