“True, true.” Emily nodded. “Plus, everyone gets THOSE thoughts at some point or another.” Even She was guilty, but obviously wouldn’t say so.

 

[starstucker]

Lavender definitely agreed with that. Being the sister to a 20 year old brother, it was easy for her to be introduced to those thoughts quite early. "For me, unfortunately, it just had to be early."

 

[KokichiLove]

“That sucks.” Emily spoke in a more somber tone. “But in a way it’s better to be early than late, in my opinion.”

 

[starstucker]

"Hell yeah it does," she muttered. "And I suppose there's truth in that." Better to be early and prepared than late, she supposed.

 

[KokichiLove]

“But, that depends on the person. Some people probably would prefer to wait as long as possible to be exposed to that kind of stuff.” Emily remarked.

 

[starstucker]

"That is true," she nodded. "My sister waited long after she was 18 to be exposed to that kind of stuff, and I'm forever grateful for that."

 

[KokichiLove]

“That’s good. Not everyone is so lucky on that regard.” Emily nodded.

 

[starstucker]

"I know what that's like," she replied. "Trust me. I can't count how many times I've been horrified by how fast kids learn...especially my siblings."

 

[KokichiLove]

“It also seems like kids are learning younger and younger.” Emily sighed. “Remember when most of them were so innocent?” She laughed lightly. “I don’t. But I know there was a time.”

 

[starstucker]

"God, I remember so well," she sighed gently. "My sister was 11 when we left Korea, and about a week of staying in America, she asked me what the number 69 meant. I was horrified as to exactly how she knew this."

 

[KokichiLove]

“Yeesh.” Emily replied. “I would be horrified too. I’m glad I’ve never had to deal with that.”

 

[starstucker]

"God, you're lucky," she said, shuddering involuntarily. "You should be glad. It's terrible."

 

[KokichiLove]

“I can only imagine.” Emily said. “My worst fear would be over explaining and corrupting them even more. I’d feel both horrified and guilty.”

 

[starstucker]

"Oh, that's a terrible experience," Lavender cringed. "When I had to do that once, my little ten year old sister wouldn't let go of my mom for days and always stayed away from my dad."

 

[KokichiLove]

“Aww, that’s awful.” Emily said sympathetically. “I hope nothing bad happened between the two of them to make her that way.”

 

[starstucker]

"Nothing happened that was too bad," she replied reassuringly. "It's just that my sister was on Instagram and found out how to make babies." She shuddered.

 

[KokichiLove]

“And that is why kids should not be on the Internet. Exhibit A.” Emily spoke lightheartedly. “My dad didn’t let me use the internet or have a cellphone till last year.”

 

[starstucker]

"Seriously?" she asked. "My dad only gave me a cellphone at eight years old so I wouldn't pester him in the future. I didn't go onto anything bad; I only really read online books and took care of my plants on this virtual flower shop."

 

[KokichiLove]

“Yeah, My dad was always pretty overprotective over me. For good reason too.” Emily responded. “I never minded too much. Whenever I needed to go somewhere I got to borrow a flip phone where I could only call him.”

 

[starstucker]

"I honestly wouldn't have pestered him," she said quietly. "The phone could barely fit in my hands. And honestly, I think it's good that your dad protected you. It sucks to learn about that stuff early."

 

[KokichiLove]

“Oh believe me, life still found ways to teach me. Just because I didn’t have a cellphone doesn’t mean my friends didn’t.” Emily laughed bitterly.

 

[starstucker]

"God, that must've sucked," she commented scornfully. "They still your friends?" Her hands had gone to pull a lighter from her pocket and flick it on and off, keeping it a distance away from Emily.

 

[KokichiLove]

“Nope. Not a single one of them.” Emily said in a tone that showed she wasn’t bothered by it. “Not like I had many to begin with though.”

 

[starstucker]

"Really?" Lavender said, grateful that Emily didn't seem to care. "I would've thought you were the type to have a bunch of friends. What you just described sounds like me."

 

[KokichiLove]

“Well, most people get scared away when I talk about my interests, like anime and stuff.” Emily said. “But I don’t like pretending to be someone I’m not just to make friends, so I let them run if they choose.”
