Hello. It's... ah. It's Genda again.

I just want to thank those of you who helped reassure Feferi of herself and stood up for her over the network not long ago.
Seeing so many people stop to cheer up someone I hold dear made my view of this place brighten, if only a little.

So thank you.

... And if the man who said those terrible things to her happens to be watching the network: Feferi and her kind are not monsters.
They're the farthest thing from monsters - even though they are different on the outside, they're people just like us on the inside.

What's on the outside doesn't matter, especially in a place like this.

[...oops. She was going to get to the quadrant stuff, it just hadn't seemed that important at the time. Not like she was feeling particularly pale for anyone, and blackrom? Not really something she wants to pursue here. But, well, since it's been brought up, time to deal with it.]

...thank you. That was really sweet of you.

I, um. I saw the whole quadrant-explanation thing. I swear I wasn't going to hide it from you, it's just complicated and I don't even have an interest in half of it here. So, um, uh...

It's okay, it's okay! Really, only one quadrant matters between us, right? So you don't have to worry about explaining the rest.

[That'll take off some stress, right?]

... And, really; if you don't want to explain, you don't have to.
Just know that I won't keep you from your culture, alright?

Whale, yeah. Because -- hold on, one minnow -

[and she switches to text, just for a second, to type:]

[- and back to video.]

Yeah.

Though I can explain the otter ones. It just...the moment didn't feel right. I didn't want to muck everyfin up with conchplications. But yeah, it's only fair.

[Oh - awww. He'd give her a little heart in return if there wasn't a 75% chance of him typing it wrong.]

Well. If you want to explain, Feferi, I'm all ears.

[cullscuttlefish]

All right. Let's just take two at a time, and I think I betta focus on the most relevant ones.

I'm pretty sure you get what being matesprits means. It's like us right now. Where I know how I feel about you and you know how you feel about me and a heart symbol sums it all up.

Then we go over to the diamond. That's your moirail, and they're like - think of them as your best friend. The one you'd always go to when seas get a little choppy, and who'd go to you for the same, but who would kick sense into you if you ever needed it. And you'd do the same for them. It's - I don't know if roemance is even a good word for it, when it comes down to it. More like a really deep best-friend kind of thing.
