Implements [IGenericDataHolder](./SocialAction.md)

## Summary
A social action is an action that involves two `TinyLife.Objects.Person` instances.  Before a social action "actually" starts, both parties have to have the action as their current action.  For this to happen, the person that initiates the action follows the `TinyLife.Actions.SocialAction.Partner` until they reach them (or give up).
