"The exact opposite of love. It's when someone doesn't like you AT ALL and if it's bad enough they'll wish harm upon you or even death."

Zenith frowns, pondering this. "I hate Marcus." He decides. "I'd gladly kill him if given the chance." He nods, satisfied with this. "How does love turn to hate?"

(This just turned into Zenith being educated on love while he accidently flirts.)

(It's SO CUTE THO) "Well heartbreak sometimes, sometimes you think you love someone but you realize who the truly are and end up hating them. That will probably happen to us, I'm a pretty shitty person. Uhhhm…oh and sometimes hate can turn into love, same as love can turn to hate. There's probably more ways but that's all I can think of currently."

Zenith barks out a laugh. "I've met some pretty shitty people, and you're nothing like them. If you were like that, you'd have left me to my bullshit a long time ago."

"We only just met today, so we'll see. I'm telling ya that if ya date me, ohhh boy are you in for a ride." She shook her head. "My relationships never last. I'm a horrible person with an ugly past and a ruined mind."

Zenith arches an eyebrow. "Your past can't be any worse than mine. And while I've never been in a relationship before, I think it'll turn out okay." He smiles. "And you, a horrible person? Ha ha ha, no. No you're not. We agreed not to lie, didn't we? So don't spew that kinda bullshit at me."

She rolled her eyes. "Maybe I'm just the greatest liar and actress in the world. So are you saying we're dating? Aren't you worried about John?" She said, her hands folding into his.

Zenith pauses. "I mean, we're dating if you want us to be?" He glances to the side. "An- and John- well, I'll talk to him."

"I'd like that, as long as you'd like ME around." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "You seem ever so surprised and mostly confused by kisses. Ask about those. Ask about anything."

Zenith, without hesitation, asks, "What's a kiss? I mean, I think its the lip-touching thing… oh! Is it a form of cuddling?" He looks excited that he came this this 'realization' by himself.

"No it's the lip touching thing. Special and intimate. I'd suggest only kissing me for now, until you can get more a handle on it. Families will kiss each other too, on the cheek. It's a sign of affection silly." She wasn't going to be his first kiss, she didn't want to ruin him.

Zenith nods. "So it's a form of cuddling?" He tries to confirm. "I got that its lip-touching, but contact with people makes it similar to cuddling- except its kinda faster? Cuddling on the go?" He tilts his head.

"No. That's a hug." She sighed and kissed his nose. "That's not a cuddle now is it? Cuddling basically is just super long hugging with your whole body. A hug can be shared with friends, family, and relationships. But I'd ask to hug, cuddle, or touch anyone in any way. Some people don't like it."

Zenith does his 'cat hit in the face with cheese' impression when his nose is kissed. After waiting and listening to what she says, he kisses her nose back. "So cuddles are a symbol of love? Like, all kinds of love?"

"Hugs are, cuddles are a little more intimate. But I've cuddled with my friends and lovers before. Not with family though. It's a little to weird." She shrugged, as her eyes kept darting to his lips. But she wouldn't do it. She didn't know how to get him to realize the specialness of kisses though. It was hard for her to really explain it, but she was gonna damn well try.

Zenith nods. "I know what a hug is- Crystal has given me one before when I was having a flashback. That made things worse, but she was trying. And- well, I don't really have any family. I mean, you could count Marcus, since he's the one who created me, but… yeah." He sounds nonchalant when he mentions his lack of family. Like he doesn't really care. And… he kinda doesn't. "I mean, Crystal's like a mom to me, so I don't know if that counts…"

"Well. I consider friends as family. Just because there isn't legal or blood binding doesn't mean you don't HAVE family. Crystal could be a mom to you. You can see her in that sense. That's always okay." She nodded, glad to be off the subject of kisses.

Zenith laughs. "Nothing I do is legal. Me existing off of government property or anywhere a government agent tells me to go is illegal. And blood, well, its probably best for no one to have my blood." He admits, completely missing what she's trying to say.

She rolls her eyes. "Just-nevermind ya goof. You'll get it eventually." She sighed and got out of his lap, and stretched out on the couch, legs stretched across his lap. "Ask something else. Oh and feel free to ask about me as well."

Zenith pauses. After a moment, he decides on what he's going to ask. "So I know I've heard the term 'debt' before, and you mentioned it and I pretended I knew what it meant but I kinda forgot what it meant." He gives a sheepish smile.

"Debt means you take more than what you can give, and so you owe a debt. You gotta work on paying it back. It usually refers to money and banks and stuff. Ask Crystal about banking and bills and insurance and crap. That stuff bores me to much to explain it."

Zenith nods again. "So it means you owe someone?" He pauses a moment. "How'd you get into debt?" He asks softly.

"I spent a lot of money, so much money that I simply couldn't pay it back. I used a credit card. Ask someone else what that is. So I faked my death, loaded the debt onto my father, and started a new life."

Zenith pauses. He seems to be deep in thought. After a moment, he asks, "How much money?"

"Uhm. A LOT…look mechanics are NOT cheap, especially mine." She points to her shoes. "A 5 thousand or so went into these alone. Sorta. That's a ball park number though." She sighed. "And of course keeping them in good maintenance and stuff, that's a whole other thing alone."
