After Nixilei finished speaking she let the silence hang for a few moments until she determined Kat wasn't going to speak. "Well, you've been avoiding it so far, but do you want to just gush about Lily properly? I've tried to lead you towards it but unlike Green you haven't really taken the bait."
"Oh… um… I'm not sure that I can? I mean… Lily routinely says she could write an essay about my thighs and I believe her… but I'm not sure that I could do the same thing without being sexually attracted to her," answered Kat.
Nixilei let out a small laugh. "I'm sure she could, you do have fine legs. Still, I bet you can talk about her more than you think. She's your girlfriend now. Just start talking and I bet words will spill out. It's interesting… the first time at least. You do not want to know how many times I've heard Green describe Gareth's muscles. Not my thing so I can't even appreciate the poetic descriptions, but I'm curious what an asexual girl will talk about."
This chapter was originally called "Gushing about Lily" but I like this version a lot more.
Poor Kat, she can't just comment on Lily's sexy quality she has to actually find less superficial reasons.
