"What's wrong?" said Flare, but she did stop.

"Uh, Flare," said Colt, "we talked about the nudity thing.  Remember?"

"I-I can't do anything like this!" Luna said.

"...anything like... which, exactly?" Flare asked, clearly confused.

"...Bathing with all three of us, for one," Colt suggested, with a sigh.  "I assume she can bathe on her own.  Right, Luna?"

"Yes! I can do that!" Luna said.

"I don't really understand," said Flare.  "But I will respect your shyness.  Colt, do you want to--"

Colt was still blushing.  "That's not... Flare, can we talk about it later?"

"All right," sighed Flare.  She looked sad.

"It would be fine if it were me and you," Luna said to Flare.

"I don't really understand what the difference is," said Flare, "but let's go!"

...and she was now dragging Luna off to the showers without Colt.

Luna let her. This was mostly okay.

Flare... did really apparently intend to shower together, but her intentions appeared to be just... friendly.  If a little bit more touchy-feely than Luna was used to.

That was mostly okay. Luna just bared with it.

"You have smooth skin," Flare observed.  "I think it is more attractive than the seams my access zones leave, for all that I am intended to be approximately anatomically correct.  You are lucky!"

"Thank you?" Luna said, hoping this would be over soon.

Luckily it was.  Flare continued to be cheerful and helpful and complimentary, although often in EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING ways.

Luna quickly got dressed and stumbled out, still deep red.

"Oh, uh, hey," said Colt.  Still blushing and not looking, despite the fact that everyone was decent.

"Flare is very energetic," Luna said.

"Yeah, she is that, isn't she?" said Colt.  "...takes some getting used to, let me tell you."

"I understand you two are dating," Luna said.

"Well... I'm not entirely sure, to be honest," said Colt.  "I wouldn't really describe it that way, exactly?  But it could turn into that?  Flare's kind of confusing sometimes."

"Right, okay, I clearly have no idea what is going on," Luna said.

"That kind of makes two of us," said Colt.  "She's very affectionate with me, likes hanging around me all the time, but she also reacts to you in just about the same way.  We've gone on things that might be dates, but I'm still not sure.  And I'm not sure how to talk about it with her."

"Why not just ask her?" Luna asked.

"...I'm trying to figure it all out," said Colt.  "It doesn't sound like a bad idea exactly, but I'm not sure if it actually would be a relationship or not."

"Maybe explain to her how one works?" Luna said.

"That's probably not a bad idea," said Colt.  "...but I'm not even sure what would happen if I did.  I guess it's worth a shot?"
