"By within the norm you seem to mean 'human'. I admire a lot of humans. Artists, generally. But I wouldn't call any of them normal."

Alured has a lot less to say on the subject. Being too young to talk does that to a fella.

"Well- is there someone who stands out in your memory, ma'am?" Cautiously polite, still- after all: this is one of the Sidhe. Difficult people at the best of times, they are.

"Charles Baudelaire, Jane Austen, Neil Gaiman, da Vinci... I could go on a while. You could call me Ali, you know." Ali is perfectly sweet and cuddly in the best of times. She's only difficult in the bad times (you know the sort, where someone's pissed her off but she hasn't decided they're worth killing yet).

"I could, yes. I didn't want to be presumptuous. If that's what you prefer, then, Ali." He smiles.
"Baudelaire never did much for me, but others I know would definitely agree with you- enough that I'd classify him as being, uh. As worth having as a hero."

[vicioussweetie]

She smiles when he calls her Ali. "You don't generally find artists as worthwhile?"

[of_company_b]

"Artists in general are worthwhile, sure- but there aren't many I really admire, you know?"

[vicioussweetie]

"No? That's a pity. What sort of person do you tend to admire, then?"

[of_company_b]

"Someone who exceeds at a form of art I'm good at. It makes appreciating their talent a lot easier, yeah?"

[vicioussweetie]

"I suppose, if you think it should be easy, that's a good way to go about things." She's trying to not sound disapproving, she really is.

[of_company_b]

"...easier to understand what's so praiseworthy, I meant."

[vicioussweetie]

"Ah." That doesn't seem to change her opinion.

"Leonardo da Vinci probably understood more about Michaelangelo's technique painting than you or I ever would. Is it strange that da Vinci admired Michaelangelo more than you or I ever could? Same thing."

[vicioussweetie]

"How can you be so sure he admired Michaelangelo's paintings more than I?" She sounds surprised and a little insulted that he's making such foolish assumptions.
