“Kyr Elkay! Kyr Elkay! I need you! I have questions! I do not know who or how to ask!”
Elkay was quietly reading a book in his office, taking a well deserved break. He’d been running all over the place recently, mostly with a lot of legal stuff, helping Aesop with making the Torr less hatable, and also helping Kohra write a constitution alongside Murum’Va. Elkay now had some time to himself, but of course, someone had to ruin it.
With a somewhat angry sigh, Elkay got up and headed for the door. It was obvious who was on the other side.
“Litvir, calm down.”
“But… But something happened! I do not know how to explain it! It was weird!”
“Litvir, shut up, stand still, then count to ten.”
The young Rethan deity didn’t quite listen. “But… But why! I need to ask stuff! You are super smart! You-”
“Shut up and count to ten.”
Litvir finally paused and did as they were told. “One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine… ten… eleven… twelve.”
Elkay eyed Litvir. “I said ten.”
“I like twelve though…” Litvir trailed off briefly. “But I need to ask you things! I think I did something wrong! My body is broken!”
“Count to ten again.”
“No!” Litvir refused. “I need to talk to you about a thing! And I am scared of going to Syksis, because she will laugh!”
“Syksis is a military doctor, she’d never laugh at you…” Elkay sighed. “Alright, fine. What’s going on?”
Litvir’s eyes darted around. “It is embarrassing! I do not know if this is bad or not… Can we… can we go somewhere very private?”
Elkay sighed some more, then flicked his fingers around. The room suddenly went dark, and everything was covered in shadows. Litvir instinctively countered the darkness by summoning light motes.
“You wanted privacy, kid. I’m giving it to you.”
“Sorry, but… dark… dark is weird…”
Knowing this wasn’t going anywhere, Elkay forcibly made Litvir sit down. However, as he inspected Litvir, he noticed that Litvir was clearly scared of something, and had their hands in their lap in an odd manner.
“Alright. Litvir, count to five, then start explaining.”
Litvir hesitated. They did as they were told, but clammed up.
“Whatever’s wrong, I won’t get angry at you. But I can’t help you if you don’t talk to me.”
“I… I…” Litvir stuttered. “I… did a bad thing. An adult thing. I do not understand it.”
Elkay rolled his eyes. “What did you do that was bad?”
“I… I was given a kiss… on the cheek. By my friend Miisa. That is bad. I am scared that Miisa might have made me… do baby things… And… uh…”
“Litvir, kid, kisses aren’t bad. They’re a sign of affection among Threanic races. But you can’t get egg-ridden just from a kiss on the cheek.”
“But Kyr Relkir and Kyr Gath do kissing! And Kyr Relkir wants to have a baby! And Miisa kissing me did something!”
Elkay blinked, then leaned forward. “Litvir, you are not egg-ridden. You are not old enough to be egg-ridden.”
“But what is the thing beneath my loin cloth? My wee hole got long!”
Elkay blinked some more. “Uh, Litvir, have you done sexual education at school?”
“… No. It is a thing they do in the previous year. Am I broken?”
“No, no. You aren’t broken. You’re having an erection. It’s perfectly normal for your clit-penis to get larger when you are turned on.”
“I do not know what that means.”
Elkay got up from his chair, then sat on the table, next to Litvir.
“I will explain this very simply. When two people like each other more than anyone else, they kiss, as a sign that they love each other. Sometimes, when two people like each other a LOT, the tip of your clit gets bigger and turns into a penis, and your kolpos produces more liquid. Two people who love each other so much that they can’t leave, one of them puts their penis inside the other person’s kolpos. The person with the penis inside the other then has to move a lot, and after a while, a white liquid comes out of the tip. If you don’t use protection, like a condom, then there is a chance of being egg-ridden.”
It was Litvir’s turn to blink. “Is that what Kyr Relkir and Kyr Gath do sometimes?”
Elkay nodded. “Yep. If you wear protection, you can’t get egg-ridden.”
“But what about Miisa kissing me and my… you called it my penis? Why did that get big?”
“Your body was suggesting that you have sex with this Miisa person. You shouldn’t have sex, because you don’t want you or Miisa to get egg-ridden, but your body sometimes does things your mind doesn’t want to do.”
Litvir suddenly stood up and moved their loin cloth to one side. “Why is it not getting smaller though? I do not want to do this sex thing! It sounds icky!”
Elkay grunted, then realized something was off. It turned out that Litvir, despite being a child, was rather well hung. “There are two things you can do. The first is to wait it out, while thinking about unappealing things. The second is to go somewhere private and on your own, then gently stroke and touch it until it goes away or you climax.”
“Oh…” Litvir put their loin cloth back where it was. “I think I understand. But I will also ask my teacher.”
“Don’t ask a teacher, speak to one of your school nurses, in private, same way you came to me. They will help you better understand things. Alright?”
Litvir thought for a moment. “I understand the… my thing… But… can I do kisses with Miisa?”
“You can, yes, but Litvir, you are a bit young. Try to hold off on the kissing a bit, and don’t do anything regarding sex with anyone until you are 18.”
“But I am six months old!”
“Physically 18.”
“Oh. Alright. Thank you, Kyr Elkay. I think I need to go and say sorry to Miisa now.”
Elkay nodded in agreement. “Yes, please do. You might have made them upset by running away.”
“I will, I promise!” Litvir seemed more cheery now. “Sorry for being a stupid baby.”
“It’s fine. Now go and speak to your friend.”
Litvir got up, then bowed, before heading to the door. Once they were outside, Litvir disappeared in a flash of light.
Elkay stared at where Litvir once was, then tutted and went back to his book. “Silly kid…”
