I'm thinking we should ask HVAO about a place we can get permission for her to fly at. If they find out she's flying without clearance, she could still get into trouble.

Relationships among Visitors:
Visitors are very lax in their relationships, and it is even expected that a person will have multiple partners. They are open to having a relationship with both genders, though this does not mean it advances to the physical stages, as one will often end up in a pseudo-romantic relationship with their partner's partners.
There are three major terms to understand when talking about Visitor romance: Alamads, which are the closest of partners, the ones who are treated as spouses; Dulamads, who are still close partners, just not of the closeness we would consider Married; and Dulabira, which is the circle of all of the partners at once. While a Dulamad can offer comfort, fun, and an all around great time, when somebody starts feeling depressed, it will likely fall to an Alamad to help them out.
Dulabiras can and usually do end up getting messy, so there is no need to worry about ruining things by introducing your partners to one another at a bad time, or if they disagree with one another. Pay attention to how things went wrong, and simply try to improve upon your actions in the future, as any member of your own Dulabira is not going to hold a grudge against you (Yes, this even includes the Warriors), even if they hold one against your other partners. Just avoid bringing them together where you can, and schedule your times around the arguments.
While the Visitors may be lax in what they consider to be a relationship, you should still not consider a person to have become your Dulamad immediately. While it is possible to earn yourself the title in the first date, it is also possible that the person may desire some more time as just friends before they advance the relationship. This depends on both you and your Visitor partner, so don't worry if it takes time. Just be patient and enjoy yourself, and before too long you should have grown an understanding of how things are working out.

Floaters:
Floaters are the odd race out among the Visitors, being Cybernetic lifeforms who center themselves around efficiency. At the time of writing this entry, Megumi 9x542 is the first and only Floater who was built specifically for the study of relations, which means that while they may have had a head start in understanding things from the Visitor's perspective, they are learning the differences between Human and Visitor romance alongside us.
Floaters are big on rules, and you should attempt to follow them when dealing with a Floater, but do point out when the rules are more lenient, or where they're intended more as guidelines, so that you can help them to understand where it's acceptable to ignore the rules, and to what extent.
As their name implies, Floaters are fliers, and feel restrained when they are unable to fly. If your Floater friend or partner is "Grounded," not allowed to fly, try introducing them to higher locations, such as balconies, rooftops, or mountain trails. While it is not quite the same as flying, it helps them to no longer feel restrained, which means they are much less likely to get depressed (Yes, they can get depressed. They might have a strong control over their emotions, but they still have them).
