Work was scary today... the patients were all huge although the unconscious ones were all right, and I was nearly stepped on several times by some of the doctors.

...I made it through somehow, though. Mostly by spending as much time as possible reorganizing the medical supply rooms instead of interacting with anyone.I-I'm sorry,

That must have been frightening for you. How large were these people?

[small_comfort]

Big!! Huge.
One of them had to have been 5'8". Maybe even taller.

[small_comfort]

AH!
I saw you in the ballet last night, didn't I? It was wonderful!

voice as well;

[schwanprinz]

Oh, that isn't that tall. But you are on the shorter side of the people here, no?

And thank you so much. It warms me to know you enjoyed last night's performance. We work very hard to please our audience.

voice;

[small_comfort]

Wh-what do you mean?! Five foot eight... that's more than one hundred seventy centimeters!!
Maybe it's just because you're so tall that you have a distorted perception of height...

voice;

[schwanprinz]

It's not distorted...I don't think.

But it still must be hard for you here.

voice;

[small_comfort]

... It might have been distorted for so long that there's no longer any way to tell that it's distorted.

Um...
Not particularly... I don't think?
Maybe a little...

voice;

[schwanprinz]

I really don't think so. But worrying about that so much anyway will detract from my dancing.

Is there anything that helps you relax?

voice;

[small_comfort]

Well... I certainly wouldn't want to distract you...

Um...
Maybe?

voice;

[schwanprinz]

It's all right. I am managing with this conversation. But I want my steps to remain light.

...maybe? You don't know what it might be?

voice;

[small_comfort]

I don't know if there's anything that consistently works...

voice;

[schwanprinz]

Dancing always works for me. I feel delighted and at peace when I dance.

voice;

[small_comfort]

That must be nice...
You're really good at it, so it makes sense.

voice;

[schwanprinz]

Is there anything you're good at, Mister Hanatarou?

voice;

[small_comfort]

... I'm good at using the microwave.

And I can use healing powers, but...
The situations in which I can do that usually aren't very conducive to relaxation.

voice;

[schwanprinz]

Microwave.... That's the box looking thing with the numbers on the side, right?

Oh, I see. You don't have a hobby?
