I have no personal attachment to the things I'm willing to sell. My books and certain other collections would have been more difficult.

I see. I will have to look into them.

[tangleofgarlands]

you read?
What sort of books?

[deathstouch]

Nearly everything. I suppose I am again a bit partial to classics. The Prince is my favorite.

[tangleofgarlands]

I haven't read it.
I liked The Picture of Dorian Gray, though.

[deathstouch]

It may not be your style.

Wilde was a passable enough writer, though.

[tangleofgarlands]

maybe not. i like gothic horror a lot, but I haven't read much philosophy.
I've read a bit of homer and plato.
but anyway I like Wilde. He's a bit. I dunno. Ornamental I suppose, but that's who he was. it's not to everyone's taste.
(I live with a glam rock band back in London which tells you a bit about mine)

[deathstouch]

They are quite good.
I think perhaps some things I have not quite warmed up to as long as I've been around new things.

[tangleofgarlands]

Like what?

[deathstouch]

Modern society is very crass in general.

[tangleofgarlands]

so was pre-modern society, though.
I think all society can be a bit crass.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps so.

[tangleofgarlands]

what about it bothers you?
You don't have to answer, I'm just curious.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps it is just that I am someone displaced from my intended time.

[tangleofgarlands]

that sounds like quite a story.

[deathstouch]

I suppose that it is quite a story.

[tangleofgarlands]

If you'd like to tell it, I'll admit I'm curious.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps one day. I've been told it's a bit too dark and depressing for first conversations.

[tangleofgarlands]

I understand. I didn't mean to pry.

Sorry, I'm not very good at carrying on a conversation.

[deathstouch]

I don't feel it was all that prying.

You do quite well. I am not exactly an easy conservationalist admittedly.

[ 2000 years of solitude will do that to you. ]

[tangleofgarlands]

oh.
Well, I'm glad for that.
And. Thanks, but it's not you. I'm just shy.

[deathstouch]

Why are you shy?

[tangleofgarlands]

[That stalls him for a minute--nobody's ever asked him outright before, and as such he's never really put any thought into it.]

I'm not sure, really. I just am.
Have been as long as I can remember.
I suppose both my parents, my mum especially, are soft-spoken.

[deathstouch]

Ah.

I guess that's as good a reason as any.
