I thought I'd add to the question theme.

Do you have a favorite word? If so, what is it? And do you have a least favorite word? If so, what is it?

You know, I don't think I've ever thought about that.

I suppose it is a bit of an odd question. There's a linguist here who's fond of the phrase "cellar door" for how it sounds, so I thought it wasn't entirely out of left field.

Not that there's anything wrong with odd questions. They do seem to be more thought provoking than the normal fare, I think.

Asking the right questions is a very important skill, I think. Otherwise you don't get the very good answers.

Very true.

....I suppose I would have to go with duet. For my favorite.

A very lovely word, indeed. Aria's a bit too glorious, but duet means quite a lot for very little.

And it's also quite intimate. To trust someone enough to place not only their performance, but your own into their hands, to share the spirit of the song....

I do miss it.

There's nothing in the world quite like music that's felt in the bones, in the heart of hearts. Truly.

Sometimes it's not the same.

Nothing can really compare, no. There's something very freeing about it.

What of yourself, then?

Ah, my favorite's astonish. It sounds ancient, vast, and full of wonder. Plus, if you add a participle to it, you get something rather mundane.

A wonderful choice. And so much fun to say as well.

Also true.

Ah, where are my manners. I'm Fell, if you please. A pleasure to meet you.

Oh! No, my apologies, I--

I am Leliana. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Fell.

There's no need to apologize, dear.

I take it you're a singer of some kind?

captivatingsong January 5 2011, 06:09:19 UTC
Of some kind. Music and storytelling are something of a passion of mine.

Then we have something in common. I'm a bookseller, actually.
