[delitasis]

That is...

Quite poetic.

[ir_reversetrap]

Perhaps it is.

Poetry is oftentimes a reflection of one's soul.

[delitasis]

Yes, I have often heard that...

It is simply rare to find one who is willing to truly express themselves through it.

[ir_reversetrap]

Then you seem to have a shortage of minstrels. That is all I am.

[delitasis]

It is true that poetry can exist to express, but it can also exist as a smokescreen, as well.

Not that I think that yours does, mind you.

[ir_reversetrap]

A smokescreen. Yes. I suppose that is correct. It would be a safe assumption for anyone to make. Or a logical one at the very least.

So what do you truly think of my 'poetic' wording then? If not a silkscreen, of course.

[delitasis]

I am sorry. I did not mean any disrespect.

It...

It sounds almost melancholic in tone. Mayhap wistful.

[ir_reversetrap]

You didn't.

Melancholic. I suppose Rydia would say the same on both accounts. You are an insightful woman.

[delitasis]

I am glad.

Rydia?

I...I am not really. I simply...

[ir_reversetrap]

Miss Rydia. Lady Rydia. A... girlfriend? very close friend of mine. She tends to say many things of that nature to me.

Are you always this articulate?

[delitasis]

Ahh...I have not met Lady Rydia, but she seems a very thoughtful person.

I...in my own world it was difficult to express myself clearly. A good friend of mine hath encouraged me to speak my mind, however. At times, it is still difficult.

[ir_reversetrap]

She is something of that sort. She is a good woman. Worthy of all of the praise she would be offered.

If you were in such a way where you came from, then it would not surprise me that you would be the same in a place where you were not comfortable. You can only do what you can do. Progression cannot be made when you are forced, so do so at your own pace.

[delitasis]

You seem to care for her very much.

Yes. The important thing is that progression is made at all, even if it is only a little.

[ir_reversetrap]

...Yes. You could say that. I would willingly admit to it.

You are entirely accurate. Every little step leads to something a little larger.

[delitasis]

She is very lucky to have a good friend like you, Ser.

And as the little things start to pile, before you know it, you have crossed an entire mountain rather than a range of stones.

[ir_reversetrap]

...I am more fortunate to have her in my life. She would easily cope with or without me.

That is a very good way to put it. More people should understand that. Unfortunately, they don't.
