The first streaming session

Today I randomly met Renia again and she remembered me from the party.
She asked me if I still wanted to see Kia and I immediately agreed.

So now I'm visiting Kia with her at their place, where she usually records her videos.
I still can't believe I'm meeting her for real now.

Hey, I'm here. I also brought a friend. I hope that's fine.

Sure, whatever.

Hi, I'm Frieda.

She's really interesting.
She's from a village, but now she lives here in the city.
She told me a lot about how life in the city is to her.
I didn't expect things common to us are so weird for strangers.
I've mostly expecrienced it the other way around.

Yeah, whatever.

And she really likes your videos.

Oh, does she?
She probably isn't that smart.

Did she just insult me?

Did you realize I brought her with me?

Oh sorry. Hi, Frieda.
You probably aren't that smart, are you?

I feel hurt a lot. Is she just joking?
She was kind of harsh in her videos, too, but I didn't take it personal.
Now she talks directly to me.

I don't think so.

So you agree?

No, I just don't think, that's true.

I do!

No need to be so dismissive to her. She's a friend of mine.

I'm sorry.

You have to forgive Kia.
She has some personal insecurities and doesn't think her content is good.
That's why she thinks-

Hey! Stop telling her personal things about me!

I was just trying to defend you.

Whatever. If I didn't scare you off yet, you're free to watch me in person.

I'm... really allowed to watch you stream?

Yeah, sure. Just don't bother me.

I'm pretty excited.

I'm preparing the setup. If you're already there, you can help if you want.

Sure, what can I do?

Jusd adjust that light over there. I want to be in a good light.
And maybe move the camera to the right a little.

Sure, I can do that.

I do as I have been told and also look at her screen to be sure it actually looks good, just like in her other videos I've seen.

You know, Frieda, Kia just puts a lot of effort into such minor details like how she looks.

Well, it's not just about the looks, but also the content.
You've seen my videos, Frieda, so you know what I mean.

That's true. You're interesting, but also look beautiful.

Thanks, I guess.

I blush. I probably said too much.
And the fact, that female only couples are common here doesn't help to make it less awkward

Alright, I think I'm ready to start.
If you want, you two can sit over there and watch, just remember to keep quiet during the stream.

I'm very excited to see her in and take a seat next to Renia.

As Kia begins her stream, I'm almost can't believe it.
The way she effortlessly shares her thoughts on various subjects is truly captivating as always.

Renia leans over and whispers.

She's really in the flow now.
Even if she doesn't talk about anything new, and also doesn't make good jokes, it's still fun to watch her.
I sometimes wonder if I should act more like her.

I nod in agreement, while still focusing on Kia.
Every now and then, she glances over at us, as if to make sure we're still there, admiring her.

As the stream continues, I become more and more fascinated by her. Somehow she always manages to pick out comments to respond to, as if she had planned them in advance.

Before I know it, the stream comes to an end, and Kia turns off the camera. She looks over at us, a satisfied smile on her face.

So, what did you think?

That was incredible!
I still can't believe you're there in person.

Yeah, but still pretty cheap besides the presentation.
Just like always...

Hey, don't always criticize me!

Sorry, you already know how I feel.

So, other girl. I'm glad at least you enjoyed it.
If you want you can come to watch again.
I'm sure I won't just get useless criticism from you.

Oh, you really want me to join again?
Yeah, I can't decline.

Just visit me whenever you have time. You know when my streams are, right?

Of course! I watch almost all of your streams.
I'll definitely come by whenever I can.

Great! Maybe you can even help me out a bit more.

Soon I leave again.
On my way back to my room I'm already excited about visiting her regularly.
I hope I'll be a good help to her.
Maybe by helping her, I'll just become as popular as her one day.
