... how interesting...

Mind if I ask what it's about?

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

It is... a fiction book. [a little embarrassed]

[scionofhispower]

[raises an eyebrow] No need to be embarrassed by liking fiction, you know.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

[shows him the cover (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Traveler's_Wife)] It's not quite that.

[scionofhispower]

Ah, I see.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

It's fascinating...

[scionofhispower]

Seems like it would be.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

... did you wish to speak to me?

[scionofhispower]

I was just wondering what had caught your interest, really.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

[looks relieved, nodding]

[scionofhispower]

I'm glad you've found something like that to catch your attention, though. It helps...

[licks his lips, closing his eyes] ... it... it's calming.

[scionofhispower]

[leans back against the wall, not wanting to bother him by getting close] Some say it's "just a escape," but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

[still concentrating, speaking at a "normal" volume] It's a needed escape at some points.

[scionofhispower]

[smiles a little at that] Indeed it is.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

[opens his eyes, smiling back]

[scionofhispower]

Have things been getting better lately?

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

They- They're a little better. It's easier to take in so much visual stimulation.

[scionofhispower]

Hopefully it will continue to improve.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

It seems it will.

[scionofhispower]

I'm glad for that. You don't deserve what was done to you.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

[looks away at that]

[scionofhispower]

[pushes off the wall, starting for the doorway] I suppose I should leave you to your reading, then.

[thepricepaid.livejournal.com]

Thank you for coming to speak with me.

[scionofhispower]

No need to thank me for that.
