To-day I read a story about a man who puts his soul into a picture. I wish I could draw a picture like that.

I also saw a cloud that was shaped like a crown.

No, you don't. It's a fool thing to go around wishing, that you could make pictures that would take people's souls. It even sounds idiotic.

....*blushes, is annoyed at self for blushing, and therefore blushes more* I suppose it -sounds- it, yes, but if you thought about it for a moment - what a...a fascinating thing, don't you think? To see a man's soul. It'd be - you could see the guilt seething in-- inside of him, in his... well, soul. Er. .... *weakly* Well... well, I thought it sounded rather - rather fascinating...

*hard as stone and withering as grass in autumn* It'd be revolting.

...*looks away quietly* As you say.

*thoughtful nod* It's sort of like that, when you're drawing. Like you're trying to get a part of their soul..a part of them, onto paper or canvas or what-have-you. But oftentimes, you can't. *pauses and blushes just slightly* I think my typist's read that story.

[blind_judgment]

*uncertainly* I guess. ...I meant more literally, though. *awkward grin* You're being too metaphorical.

[derothling]

*laughs* Yes, I know. I was just being..*shrugs* Artistic, I s'pose.

[blind_judgment]

Well - I'm no artist. I was a law student, so I guess I can be the literal one and you the metaphorical.

[oneclearcall]

Quaint notion. *affectionately amused*

[blind_judgment]

*smiles, a bit embarrassed but not much - not even for Clarion* It's silly, I know.

[oneclearcall]

*tousles* No doubt, but then so many things are.

[blind_judgment]

You, for one.
