*and Ros will be watching his golden fish flicker and move at the bottom of a bowl of water with an expression of pure and absolute wonder, tentatively touching the top, making ripples --*

[smithofwainola]

*may stand behind him, watching him play, arms folded* Does the creature make you happy?

[permanent_blur]

oh, it's lovely. will it come up to kiss your fingers ... ?

[smithofwainola]

*shakes his head* How the fish may show affection, move within the glass and water, I have not the faintest knowing.

[permanent_blur]

oh, but it is lovely -- *moving his face closeuptotheglass* even if it won't kiss your fingers. the other fish does that, anyway -- it oughtn't be just like the other fish --

[smithofwainola]

*so very glad that Ros understands that--Ilmarinen hadn't, and still doesn't, entirely* Will you choose to name the creature?

[permanent_blur]

well, it ought to have a proper name -- everything deserves a proper name. *headtilt* but what do you suppose its proper name is, then ... ?

[smithofwainola]

*soft smile* Name it Fish, for that its nature.

[permanent_blur]

i like that. *grinning through the bowl* fish -- !

[smithofwainola]

*amused* Does it answer when you call it by the name most proper to it?

[permanent_blur]

well, not aloud ... but it's looking at me, i think. *beams up at him* i think it likes its name.

[smithofwainola]

Glad am I--and gladder will be when a living fish replaces that which I have made of metal. *can't be stern, though, even if he does think the metal-fish idea is dodgy--this is Rosencrantz--*

[permanent_blur]

but it is lovely, even for a metal fish. especially for a metal fish -- thank you --

[smithofwainola]

*pats his shoulder* You are ever very welcome.
