Reasons in favor of Walking in
1. For there is an advantage to be gained by stirring the amorous propensities and unsettling the defenses. Addendum: There is a trade-off involved in stirring, because the formation of crystals will occur unless it is exceedingly gentle.
2. For the stirring will be gentle enough for the eventual pay-off to exceed the short-term irritation. Question: Will the advantage lost in the short term remove an opportunity further down in the evening.
3. For the former question is unknowable and one must harvest the day. All opportunities are one way streets and even though I should, I cannot see far down all paths.
4. For her form is pleasing to behold.
Reasons against Walking in
1. For the stirring is not quite gentle enough.
2. For it will displease her.
3. For her displeasure shall be multifold:
......a) To be gazed upon troubles her soul
...........*Additional: It is the perception of seeing alone; however, not her state of undress which troubles her so.
......b) To violate her modesty, even within her chambers, is to stroke the sacrosanct improperly--a sin against many ineffable demi-urges
......c) To violate her demi-urges is to arouse her urges, and this troubles her soul.
......d) To be seen undressed turns her thoughts to the act of love, a dissonance within her that she cannot resolve.
......e) To violate her modesty is to displease her.
4. For her displeasure shall be most vehement and vocalized with shrieking (unpleasant) and physical blows (pleasant).
5. For the afore-mentioned question is unknowable and a better opportunity is served by standing and waiting at her door.
The door whispered open, and Elan slowly stepped into the room. He could hear it--the strokes of her hairbrush. The evening air was cool, but pleasant on his bare chest. The light of the bedside lamp filled the room with a low yellow light. Smiling softly, he glanced at her as she sat on the edge of the bed. In his left hand, he held the small copy of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, his middle finger inserted into the folds of the pages to mark his place.
The sun had set and night had arrived.
