What a creative way of accounting indeed! Brilliant, to put this so beautifully into words.

[hhimring]

Thank you!
I was very pleased when I discovered that I could work that deeper meaning into the title!

[someplacetobe]

What an interesting way to see it.

[hhimring]

Thank you!
Accountants sometimes seem like minor magicians even to us--how much more to anyone who comes from a non-literate culture!

I love the magic accounting!

[hhimring]

I sort of wish I was better at that particular sort of magic myself!
I'm not good with accounts...

I had to read it over again for best effect (after one realizes what's going on, it definitely bears another read). Very clever!

[hhimring]

Thank you! I'm very pleased to hear it bears another read!

[hhimring]

Thank you!
I'm not really sure what's going to happen next.
So far "Chalk" doesn't say "Aerin" to me.
Originally I had meant to take Aerin's story through the whole arc (that is down to Turin's return), but I don't want to force anything.
