Epistle 5

[missedyourheart]

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection. Yet I find music a greater art than painting or sculpture. Do not keep me from a piano today. I have art to create.

[ooc: Yes, I steal liberally from Wilde when writing Dorian. It only seems appropriate.]

[bitingnightmare]

Excellent palate.

[missedyourheart]

I knew you were no philistine.

[bitingnightmare]

It's the best way to hide in plain sight.

[missedyourheart]

Is that so? And what are you hiding?

[bitingnightmare]

No one needs to know that I have a posh side.

[missedyourheart]

Your secret is safe with me.

[bitingnightmare]

Do I owe you a favor for that?

[missedyourheart]

It would be a small favor in exchange for a small secret.

[bitingnightmare]

Consider the contract signed.

[missedyourheart]

What sort of favors do you grant, then?

[bitingnightmare]

I tune, I cook, I race, and shoot a mean game of pool.

[missedyourheart]

I can't say that most of those diversions have appealed to me. What do you tune?

[bitingnightmare]

Saxophones, guitars, violins, pianos, engines.

[missedyourheart]

Do you play those instruments as well?

[bitingnightmare]

I do.

[missedyourheart]

Wonderful. You should accompany my playing.
