No, no; that's different. Those women I'll say things to.

[nursetemple]

Ah, right. Makes sense. We talk a lot more openly about sex, in my time.

[devoutish]

I've heard. I'm not easily shocked, but it's a bit odd.

[nursetemple]

I guess it can feel that way. I think it's good - helps educating people about staying safe, and consent.

[devoutish]

Do I need to educate you about staying safe?

[nursetemple]

What? I'm a nurse. I know all there is to know about staying safe.

[devoutish]

Yeah, well, that's my point, innit.

[nursetemple]

You lost me, Alfie.

[devoutish]

I shouldn't be shocked because it's educational, yeah? But neither you nor I need the education.

[nursetemple]

Oh! Right, well, okay, it's not always educational. Or at least, it's not always meant to be.

[devoutish]

But if it's not educational, and it's not indicating interest, what else would it be?

[nursetemple]

Knowledge and pride. Girls like to share between themselves, it's a bonding thing. Guys like to boast about their prowess.

[devoutish]

Not so different from my time, then.

[nursetemple]

I'd imagine not, in some ways. Do you like to brag about your prowess?

[devoutish]

No, because I'm not nineteen years old any longer.

[nursetemple]

[A laugh.]

You'd be surprised the number of grown men that like to tell me all about their sex lives. Usually to prove their manliness to me after landing in the hospital for a stupid injury.

[devoutish]

Fucking ridiculous. Insecure and childish, the lot of them.

[nursetemple]

Sometimes, it can be amusing. Especially if said injury is sex-related.

[devoutish]

Childish.

[nursetemple]

Most definitely. Still amusing.
