Humans.

What is 'normal'? For affection?

Licking not normal?

Or jumping on?

I'm not an expert in these things, but from what I've seen, humans show affection in different sorts of ways. You might handshake when greeting an acquaintance, hug for comfort or when meeting a friend, and you might get a kiss on the cheek if saying goodbye to someone close to you.

I've not heard of licking except from a dog or a cat. I'm not sure humans do that.

A kiss is where [ink blot as he's thinking of how to explain it] you put your lips together and touch them to something, like someone's forehead or cheek, to show you care.

And aside from food, I'm not sure humans lick for much else. I could be wrong, seeing how I'm not very experienced at being human myself.

[Messy writing is messy]

A pretty symbol you've drawn there.

Uh. 'Humans'? So you aren't... human???

As for your question... well, depends on you really!

[identity profile] train-tracer.livejournal.com 2010-11-27 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, not human. Wow, this place is something! So what are you then?

Uh, licking and jumping on... maybe not something most humans would do. But some might? People show their affection in different ways, so it really depends on what you consider showing affection, right?

For example, I'd show affection by asking a girl to marry me! I'd want to spend the rest of my life with the most perfect woman in the world!

You're pretty interested in symbols.

[identity profile] train-tracer.livejournal.com 2010-11-28 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
So you noticed! I like them! They represent things! Discovering the meanings behind them is quite fun.

[identity profile] shorttank.livejournal.com 2010-11-28 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Those aren't exactly not normal. But they are rude to do without some sort of invitation!

You're not human either?

I'm a mutated human. I usually only have one eye.

Was someone trying to put the moves on you?

In some circles, either of those will get you punched in the face.

Try 'hello'.

[identity profile] tasteoftruth.livejournal.com 2010-11-28 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'd make sure they were your friends first. If you tried licking me it wouldn't end very well for you.

Maybe a hug? I don't know.

[identity profile] see-my-back.livejournal.com 2010-11-28 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Licking people? Seriously? How about no.

You can say hello, you can give them your name if you want. Or if you're really that excited to see them, I guess you could hug them.

[There are a few faint marks]

Ah, don't tell me you tried to lick someone--or jump on them! How did they react to that? You've made me curious!

You could say that what's considered normal depends on the person, and the kind of affection. You wouldn't touch a friend the same way as a lover, after all.

[Pen taps. "Humans"...?]

A pat on the back should be enough. Hugs might be okay, but it depends on the person, really. You could ask for their permission first, I suppose.

Love should not be limited by what is accepted by those who observe. These are gestures for you and the one you love, aren't they?

All licking and jumping's gonna get you is a spot reserved on the sex offender registration list. Might wanna shoot for a pat on the back or a hug first.

Normal affection? I suppose it depends and what type of relationship you have with that person, be it a family member, a friend, or lovers. If you're with a family or a friend, giving them hugs would show affection. If it's with a lover, then [a few scribbles as she tries to list appropriate means of showing affection] hugs and kisses would be affectionate.

Licking somebody else isn't normal, and people don't usually jump on others (unless they're trying to scare the other person).
