Ninth

[amadeodivenezia]

Is this then another curse? This change of mood that came at midnight?

Tell me of your mood, City. Are you kindly or cruel?

Comments

[discanted]

And yet the two are exclusive?

[amadeodivenezia]

You would be the last person I would tell no to that question.

[discanted]

And now we see in which mood our gentleman Armand finds himself for the evening.

[amadeodivenezia]

But what mood finds you this evening?

[discanted]

I couldn't tell you, Armand, and not for lack of try.

I wake as I always wake, with a mind eager to behold that which is there. And sometimes more, and rarely less. But that is not mood, that is spirit.

[amadeodivenezia]

Eager to behold that which is there. Ah, Master, I find that description something to envy.

[discanted]

Passivity was always a poor suit on you, Armand. It's the stitches, I think. Something always falls apart.

[amadeodivenezia]

There were times when it suited me until I realized that the cut was fine, but the color did not flatter.

[discanted]

I have told you, it must always be blue: and a marine blue, or perhaps the azure.

[amadeodivenezia]

Or sky blue, yes, I know you see me in vivid blues.

....yeah, he's smug, what >>

[discanted]

And I'll not be damned for it, the colour suits you.

I'll see your smug and raise you some ego

[amadeodivenezia]

I offered no reproach. I still wear blue when I wish to have all eyes upon me even more than usual.

[discanted]

A difficult feat.

[amadeodivenezia]

Clothing will make a difference. Yes, people look if I wear jeans and a t-shirt, but wear a suit with a shirt of azure silk, and I can own the room. Costumes change how a person is perceived with such totality that they can even change self-perception.

[discanted]

I had thought the young Master needed only to show his face to own the room. Or so say the gentlefolk of Venice.

[amadeodivenezia]

You of all people have no need to flatter. In Venice the gentlefolk were put to the test for wonders when they had to choose between us, and I in my master's orbit would have nothing but they love us both.
