A soft smile. "Well, first off... real people I mostly go "oh, they're cute together!" and am an enabler. As in, if they ask for ideas or opinions to do things for their partners, I'm happy to give them. Real shipping is in the context of a group of fans over something like a book series, called a fandom. The fans sometimes 'ship' characters together. That shipping is way more, ah, rabid, and sometimes way too serious. That's not the type I meant, and I've just... always been on the outskirts of that stuff and just watched, but fans will typically make art and write stories called fanfiction or fanfic for short about their ships. And about characters in general."
