thirty ninth dance | voice;

[motioned]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm all back to normal now. Um, thank you for everyone who was concerned or offered to help. It really does mean a lot.

[Still, despite that good news, her voice doesn't very relieved or happy. It doesn't sound sad, either; it's carefully neutral instead as she moves on.]

That's not really all I wanted to say, though. For anyone who knew Davesprite while he was here, he's gone home. He was, um, the orange boy with the wings. The timing seems pretty bad, I know, but I'm sure he wasn't in the hunt, so nobody should worry about that. I called and it kept ringing, so... For what it's worth, though, I'm sorry to all the friends he had here.

I guess that's all I really had to say.

I am glad you are back to normal.

[It was good she was back in her own body]

Did you learn something from your experience?

Permavoice

[motioned]

Learned something? Well... I'm grateful to be back like this, if that counts.

[tea_lover64]

I suppose that is something.

[motioned]

Is there a lesson I should have learned instead?

[tea_lover64]

There are many streams which branch off from the river.

[motioned]

[She pauses.]

I don't think I really get it.

[tea_lover64]

[He is ued to that]

So I can expect you back at work now?

[motioned]

Oh, yes, definitely! But, um - aren't you going to tell me what you meant? I'll try my very hardest to understand if you explain it!

[tea_lover64]

Each person will take different things out of an experience.

[motioned]

Oh! It makes a lot more sense when you say it like that.

[tea_lover64]

Yes, proverbs are supposed to help the person it is told come to those conclusions on their own.

[motioned]

I'm not so good with, um... Metaphors! That's the word. Sorry, sir.

[tea_lover64]

That is alright, it takes time to do anything, Ahiru. You have no need to apologize.

[motioned]

Well, thank you for being so understanding!

[tea_lover64]

You are quite welcome. Have you been enjoying the summer so far?

[motioned]

I have! It's my second one here, but I think I like it more than the first.

[tea_lover64]

Ah, I arrived last year around this time, so I suppose it would be my second summer as well.

[motioned]

Are you enjoying it?

[tea_lover64]

I prefer the warmer weather, and I enjoy being able to go outside more.

[motioned]

Oh, right! Because it was warmer where you used to live, right? I remember now.

[tea_lover64]

Yes, precisely. There is also a lot of treats available that are not as good in colder weather.

[motioned]

You mean like ice cream?

[tea_lover64]

Yes, as well as watermelon. Both are still tasty at other times, but they are best enjoyed in the summer.

[motioned]

Oh, I love watermelon! I hadn't really thought of that one, but you're right. It's too bad it'll be autumn again in a month.

[tea_lover64]

Each season has its own charms. Four seasons, four loves.
