*Candice, who was drinking a bottle of water, spit takes at Mars' answer*

[Loony]

@Saarebas

Romanctic attraction ≠ Sexual attraction, plus Gems, so probably not. Though in the Altiverse, Aquamarine and Eve did learn about...Um...Human reproduction.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

O.o I don't know, probably not seeing as how Sodalite was watching and studying Blood/Aqua interaction. I'm sure they would feel the emotions here and there but might not know what they are. The question is if they are curious enough to ask

Probably no on birds and bees unless they ask a human XD

[Raijinslayer]

@Loony*has Candice in bear hug like a teddy bear* She's my human, right, I'm hugging her, right? How am I doing this wrong?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Me: *sing-song* I will go down with this ship~!

Candice: O/////O

[Loony]

@Raijinslayer

"...Mars...well, okay, I know the Squad all hug me like that but a) it's consensual b) it's mutual c) I'm tiny and d) that's still not how it works. I'm asking on Candice's behalf that you stop, because she's clearly very uncomfortable."

[Raijinslayer]

@Guardian Angel Haruki"heh, Candice, your doing that thing with your face again." Pokes Candice on the nose

[Saarebas]

Amber: "What is a relationship? Can I drive it?!"

[Loony]

@Saarebas

Holy potatoes Amber you're killing me.

*Facepalm* "No, Amb, you cannot. A relationship is, simply put, the connection and interaction between two or more people, though most people associated that term with romanctic ones. A friendship is a relationship. Enmity between two people is still a relationship. But usually, it refers to romantic ones."

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Raijinslayer

"Mars, you can hug anyone like that but it if you don't get that warm feeling that makes your heart flutter, feel like you are on cloud nine, you would do anything for them or want to be by their side no matter what then you are doing it wrong. Love is a partnership that has both sides feeling the way I described. I think you are more trying to be...possessive."

[Kronshi]

@Saarebas@Loony Technically you can drive a relationship, if someone's willing to ride.

[Saarebas]

@Loony Amber: "I 'eard of romance before! Those were those blokes with the big colosseum thing and fought lions! That would be bloody brilliant!

[Raijinslayer]

@Akayaofthemoon"But Candice heart is beating fast. . . I think?" Places head against chest to check

@Guardian Angel Haruki

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon

"Both sides...? U-Um, Aquamarine, ma'am..." *gestures towards the squad* "I know it's a different kind of love, but still...You shouldn't generalise love as simply the romantic kind. Or you and the newborns. I'm assuming you love them as a mother would love their children, no? And there's certainly more than two parties involved there."

[Loony]

@Saarebas "Amb...Those were Romans...They were a nation, not a concept. And they've sorta died out."

[Saarebas]

@Loony Amber: *pouts* "But... but lion fighting..."

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

We were speaking of romanctoc love at the present moment but yes there are many kinds of love. Love of a family, romantic, friendship. Sadly, I don't think any amount of explaining is going to save Candice from Mars's special attention.

Also Amber, you are thinking of Romans not Romance.

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon Amber: *looks at history book* "They wore kilts too?! That is it, I'm a Roman! Bring on the lions!"

[Loony]

@Saarebas

"You realise those were fights to the death, right? Not to mention some lions are endangered, meaning you'd be helping to wipe out their race for entertainement purposes. Which is quite frankly a lot more cruel than what Bloodstone is doing, in my own opinion.

And those weren't kilts, they were togas."

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon

"And then there's love for oneself, which Mars clearly has going for him, regardless of whether he understands it or not.*
