[wretchedact]

Human Madam, your taste in literature is exceptional satisfactory. More than most of your kind can vouch for.

Van. Done finding a way out of this place yet? I expect the best from you, you know. Don't disappoint me, research is your field of expertise, is it not

Comments

[fireplacegirl]

Thank you, Charles. I am glad you find my taste adequate enough.

[wretchedact]

As you should be.

[fireplacegirl]

Tell me, which was your favourite? And how was Boswell and the Grand Tour?

[wretchedact]

They each had their own merit.

As I expect of Voltaire.

[fireplacegirl]

A verbose review, indeed.

[wretchedact]

I would not wish to bore someone of your capabilities.

[fireplacegirl]

You would not bore me.

[wretchedact]

I doubt that.

[fireplacegirl]

I am capable of intellectual conversation, Charles.

[wretchedact]

Are you, now?

[fireplacegirl]

I am.

[wretchedact]

Color me impressed. Not many humans can claim so. And claim truthfully, that is.

[fireplacegirl]

I assure you, I am being truthful.

[wretchedact]

Try me, then, madam. Woo me, with this intellect you possess.

[fireplacegirl]

Were my reading selections not sufficient proof for you, Charles?

[wretchedact]

Being literate is something even the smallest of your kinds' children are capable of.
