[[It has been a good couple of weeks since the experiment with being a family. Even mother's day had passed by, much to Val's unnoticing. She'd been distracted from life at home, mostly looking into, and around, this marriage thing.

She didn't get it. Of course, she hadn't considered going to read a book on it, but, she also assumed that wouldn't get her anywhere either.

Well, two weeks is plenty of procrastination on this topic... Though, surely her silence and pondering might've caused some concern with Kirimi and Neliel.]]

I'm sorry to be a bother while everyone's busy greeting the New Feathers, but I want to ask something. What's the purpose of marriage? I understand that it's what two people do when they love eachother enough, but, what makes it any different from being a boyfriend, or girlfriend.

Honestly, if you truly have no desire to be apart from the one you love, why is that something people resort too?

I suppose this last experiment left me a little confused about the subject. Not that... I'm opposed, mind you... That is... marrying Nel, but... I don't know why it's necessary...

That's quite a bit to take in all at once. I'm... despite my looks, not human. I'm quite... detached from human society, I suppose you could say. I'm still learning how they all fit in. But, my girlfriend is in the same position, being both detached and not human.

I suppose, we're a rather special case.

But, back on point then, she and I were "married" a while back... during the experiment. I love her, of course, but, I just didn't get if there was a difference being her girlfriend now, and being married.

All of those things you mentioned... would any of it matter, here and now? We came without anything, and we already share what we have. But... there's always that risk that one of us could leave suddenly

Here? I think It's mostly what you put into it. There's really no laws set up for it, so you don't need the legal backup. And if it really has no meaning for you, then there's no point in worrying about it.

Hmmm... I see. It's only, say, back where you're from that these things are important.

[[And here comes the kicker (And we're not trying to start up any drama, she means well)...]] Is it common for women to marry each other?

[Derek isn't much for drama anyway. He will pause for a minute though while he tries to think of a way to put what he has to say.]

...not really. There's a lot of social monopoly going in in regards to same-gender marriages. Most places are just now grappling with the idea that it isn't some sort of aberration or mental illness...and before that, they were struggling with the idea that is wasn't evil and against God. Some places are trying to pass laws where it's legal, but it's not getting very far. There's probably at least another generation of strife that's going to go on over it before it becomes part of the 'acceptable' majority culture.

That doesn't seem hardly fair at all.

You humans have so many confusing laws and traditions. I'm glad sometimes that I'm a bit outside the expectation of them. You're fun, but so confusing at the same time.

Well, like you said, none of those laws apply here, do they? Which means Nel and I are free to do as we like, hmm?

Pretty much.

I see. Well, thank you for explaining that though. It seems rather complicated, but in the end, it's just another expression of love.

People do what they do.

You're welcome, and good luck to both of you.

Thank you~
