Blood from Stone [AU]

"Six and one," Jass says. "Well. One of the six was a dryad- their entire race is the typical female shaped form- breasts and such- and generally accepts female pronouns and such but... well, they only have one sex? Does that count?"

[Bethany]

"Well, if they accept female, uh, if they use female for their label then... yes? I would think so anyway." Bethan shrugs, glad to have a slight distraction after her response.

[Tethras Clan]

"Just the one lover." Merrill shrugs a little, picking her sewing back up to occupy her hands.

[Marian Hawke]

"One," whispers Liz. 

[Carver Amell]

"Uh... four," stammers Carver. 

[Helene Dakesh]

"Question ten: How frequently do you and your current or most recent partner copulate?"

[Jassinth]

Merrill gives Carver a started look, clearly not having known about Carver's other three lovers, which allows Jass to ask a question. "Partner as in relationship or partner as in last person I had sex with?"

[Helene Dakesh]

"Ah... repeat partner? The intent is to gauge frequency when sex is freely available."

[Jassinth]

Jass squints a little, trying to decide how to answer. "I... suppose it's... available pretty much everyday? I mean, I'm not in a relationship right now, but I have a few friends that are up for a tumble. At least one of them- Lady Maeve at the least- is up for it on only given day. I mean, like as not anyway, it's possible none would be but..." He shrugs, then his brow furrows. "Or do you mean, 'how often would I like to have sex if it's offered?' In which case... long bouts with Lady Maeve, aside perhaps once or twice a night? Possibly once more in the morning, though that can vary on my mood and the partner."

[Helene Dakesh]

"No, no, the next question is about theoretical intent -- this one is about actual negotiated frequency."

[Jassinth]

"Then once or twice a night is about my average when in a relationship. Lady Maeve and her cousins- nymphs of lesser trees- will often take up several days at a time, but that's not typical." 

[Carver Amell]

Carver gapes at Jass, his hand slowing. 

[Marian Hawke]

Liz licks her lips to wet them. "Twice... twice a week? Maybe?"

[Tethras Clan]

"Umm... maybe once a night? But not if either of us had a long day." Merrill fidgets a little, feeling awkward that her only lover is right here and not her lover anymore. "Like... maybe four times a week?" She frowns. "Wait, are we measuring by times C- umm, my lover finished, I finished or just bouts without pause?"

[Helene Dakesh]

"Ah. Bouts, if there is a difference."
