[janus hates being new at things. if they could be an expert immediately and impress everyone on the first try, they would absolutely do so. murder, sex, history quizzes, that would be their preference— to be an old hand all the time. but it's not an option, so they settle back in with their notepad.] No I will probably see him again. And there's someone else I want to do it with, I mean, he wants to do it with me so... [they start to turn pink at their ears.]

I prefer to go out on dates. And treat them well and be treated well. That seems like the right way to do it.

[there should be a manual.]
