3 Monster Friends [Voice] - Content Warning
[ The thing about having stunted growth, being raised by monsters, and then subsequently raised by a boy around your age, is that sometimes you miss out on being informed about key parts of life.
Arietta sniffles a few times before she manages to address the journal. ]
Is there a doctor... um... Can a doctor come here? A lady would be better... I think.
[ She takes a few unsteady breaths. ]
I don't know what happened. It won't stop bleeding...

[voice - filtered 60% unhackable]
Alright... would it be okay if I came over to your house to drop off what you need? I can continue to explain things to you there if you want too.

[--OH WAIT. Before he closes the journal]
Oh--what's your name, young lady? I'm Sion.

[And so he shuts his journal and heads on out to the store first. It takes him a little while to get there since he does have to grab a pack of pads (in which he has no shame of grabbing them and carrying them around) then find her house. When he gets there he makes sure to knock loudly so she hears before opening the door just a crack and calls for her to make sure this is the right place]
Arietta? It's Sion!
[action]
[ She's somewhat muffled due to being behind a door, but it's still easy to hear her. ]
[action]
Would it be all right if I came in to help you put this on? I can give you my jacket so you can cover yourself up if you'd like or I can hand you what you need through the door and tell you how to do it. [Sion really feels no shame in asking. Why? Because this kind of stuff never phases him in the slightest and he's a doctor! But if she's not comfortable with it he doesn't mind.]
[action]
[ She theoretically learned about human decency, but it's always been something she only really did because she was told to. ]
[action]
...But then it dawns on him that he forgot to ask--] The underwear you had on, are they clean or do you need me to get you a new pair? [He can guess that she didn't take them off in time and are probably bloody but he has to make sure]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[ And then she points to the IC correct one because what is actually determining whose room is which. ]
[action]
It doesn't take him but a moment before he comes back into the bathroom, with the new pair in hand, and kneels beside her, taking the little package of pads that he left on the sink. He shows them to her first]
These are called pads. They absorb the menstrual flow--blood so that you can stand without having the blood drip down your legs and through your underwear. When you wear it, you place it on top of your underwear... [He takes one pad out, unwraps it and peels off the paper, showing her the sticky side] This side is the side you place on the bottom of your underwear. It's somewhat sticky, like a sticker, so it'll stay in place. [Taking her underwear, he puts it in place, making sure she sees of course.
Paying attention Arietta? He's trying his best to tone down the smarts...]
[action]
... I think I get it. So do I just wash it later?
[action]
No. After about two hours of wearing one of these, you'll need to replace it with a new one and throw the used one away. If you don't remove a used pad every few hours it may irritate and possibly cause an infection in the vaginal area. [Way to say that bluntly.
And now he'll hand her her underwear since he's finished putting the pad on] Here, you can put it on now. I imagine it'll feel weird at first but you'll adjust to it.
[action]
That sounds dangerous... do I really have to wear it? Is there something else I can do?
[action]
[He gives her a reassuring smile] Don't worry, it's not dangerous. Infections due to pads are rare and only occur if you're negligent. If you shower every day, it will help prevent any infections too.
[action]
I'll make sure to! So I don't get sick. I don't like getting sick... [ Which is why she's so unhappy right now.
But she slowly puts the underwear back on, though she doesn't pull it up all the way. She's staring at it... ]
[action]
Is something wrong?
[action]
Is it okay if I pull this up now?
[action]
[action]
This feels kind of strange. Is it supposed to be like that?
[action]
In time you'll adjust to it.
[action]
... Thank you. For your help. Even if it's confusing...
[action]
Is there anything else I can explain to you to make it less confusing? [He'll try to turn down the smarts Arietta... ]
