My mind is elsewhere. What dreams are these, like filthily clean clouds and soap bubbles?

Mr. Morsus, it's been too long since we've spoken. Always a pleasure.

It has, such shame. We must salve the situation from complete ruination.

Clouds and soap bubbles- an association with infantilism, perhaps? Although I, by no means, have neither the authority nor the experience to judge.

Yes, agreed. Perhaps we might renew our acquaintance at this terrifying Hogwarts celebration? Now I just need to find a dress.

Ah, maybe that's it! Too much selfishness, intellectualism, and sleeping about too many men: my brain is reverting to the shiny purity of youth as a means of self-preservation.

I think that actually made me laugh, Mr. Morsus.

We simply must, I do think. Although, Hogwarts might not be the best of places - I doubt I shall be attending the place. Perhaps some venue darker and more intellectual than that bubbling sphere of foolish optimism and bull-headed obstinacy inbred in both the big and the small.

Glad to have been of service to you, my dear, even if by clowning around.

The point is made and conceded; your assessment is fair enough. I saw a restaurant overlooking the Thames the other night. It was sort of a blackly indigo shade and had delicate hanging lanterns. I imagine people discuss all sorts of dark and intellectual things there.

You bring out the worst in me.

The place sounds decadent enough, Ms Burke. I should be overjoyed to see you there, when the rest of the Wizarding population is busy fraternizing with each other on the insipid fair.

I like lanterns.

Decadent? Oh, perhaps it is. Also--the way it sucked the sparkles of the river in to its cerulean depths intrigued me. So there's that attraction as well to pull us dark-moths.

As do I--why is that, do you think? There's a certain comfort in their reflection on a wet street.

But I am rude! How is the gallery buzzing along?

I like how you vest your thoughts into words, so carefully chosen-- all. Is there a sorting filter inside your cranium, Ms Burke? For I am rather sure I know very few women like yourself.

Perhaps they remind us of the blackness inside, and the irony of useless symbolism.

The gallery is going along well; although, I suppose were I making a living out of it, I would have been rather malnourished by now. You do realize there are not very many who take pleasure from visiting places that reassure them in their boundless ignorance.

I wish I knew what was in my brain.

That means a great deal, Mr. Morsus--though then, I'm not entirely sure what it means in the first place. Conversation with you is like raking the grey pebbles in a Zen garden around the fire trees. Each spontaneous thought emerges delicately and calculatingly.

Perhaps. They remind me of fish swimming above the meniscus, and of illumination benign and otherwise, metaphorical and otherwise.

Thank goodness there are individuals such as yourself willing to put such...philanthropic causes and passions at the forefront of their lives. For what you say is true: in the art world, I am a tottering babe compared to your reams of intricate knowledge.

I shall be awaiting our meeting with barely held impatience. And while we are still on the topic: when precisely shall we meet? My time is completely at your disposal.

Apologies for this late reply.
