"Oh, that might work. It would be rude to interrupt people while they're trying to fly but presumably not everyone will be flying one hundred percent of the time."

"Plus, you can also fly."

"This is true, but if I were just somewhere to fly I might be annoyed if people started trying to talk to me. I suppose other people are more generally social than I am."

"They do go to a public place to fly instead of just finding an empty piece of sky."

"If they have interesting equipment that might be worth it but I do take your point, I'll just make sure to leave anyone alone who asks the first time they ask."

"That's the spirit."

"If everyone followed that rule the world would be a much safer place for introverts who like public spaces."

"Do you not have enough 'leave me alone' vibe?"

"I don't know that it wouldn't be worse if I had less but I have ever had people come over and bug me to tell them about what I was reading."

"One time I added menacing spikes to my outfit at a guy."

"Beautiful."

"Thank you. He was all 'tell me your name, c'mon, I know you're gay it's cool just tell me your name'."

"Euch."

"The spikes were satisfying but did not actually work, I wound up taking off."

"Pity all the options I can think of to ensure he left would be illegal."

"Yup."

"Fortunately this is a nonissue for my own considerations of talking to people at the air park--at least on my end."

"Mmhm."

"At least no matter what I can just fly away. Some women don't have that option."

"Yeah."

"Well, that's a problem to be worked on later, I suppose."

"Not one of the most tractable."

"No. Not unimportant, but not terribly tractable."

"Anyway, do you have to skedaddle back to campus quick?"

"I have more flexibility having flown here than if there was a driver waiting for me."
