A hypothetical question for all of you out there. Let's say you are surrounded by people from, say, seventeen years in your past. Let us also say that something horrible is going to happen to them within a few years and no amount of warning from the future can save them. So the question is: how do you tell someone you consider to be something of a

If it is merely something like your example, then shouldn't you leave it up to that person? Unless of course this hypothetical baldness might affect others.

[bluffgenius]

Well you know how it is. One shiny bald head in a room can really destroy the mood. So it could affect everyone.

[oracleofdeath]

[She actually giggles about that.] And if it is happening to someone important it could indeed affect lives of course.

[bluffgenius]

[A giggle? Well then...] Especially if that man were a king. The poor subjects... how would they ever take him seriously?

[oracleofdeath]

[She's laughing mostly because Palom's wording is making it sound like it's the end of the world to go bald and she knows a few people who would feel the same.] Of course. But then a king could easily get himself a fine wig so he does not need to suffer such indignity.

[bluffgenius]

[The person in question probably would feel that way. Or that's how he sees it.] Ah, but what if a gust of wind was to come and blow the wig off? Or a squirrel was to make its nest there. Much more embarrassing than a reflective head.

[oracleofdeath]

I think the King has a pretty large problem if there are gusts of wind and squirrels in his fine castle. [Men and their obsession with hair. Seriously.]

[bluffgenius]

A very good point. He'll just have to manage it all, somehow.
