A Thing with Feathers

[makewashirahen]

Yanagi, I should tell you that I've finished with the 'batch' you provided me with. It was quite volatile, and I fear I may never quite recover from the experience.

Atobe, Hiyoshi, I hear you'll be spending some quality time among Athene's comrades. Do be careful, they tend to peck.

Maybe I am trying to broaden my horizons. I've heard such works are worth devouring.

[makewashirahen]

Why do I have the feeling you mean that quite literally?

[accioswallow]

Technically, I am hoping for the opposite.

[makewashirahen]

... Regurgitation?

[accioswallow]

If we call it a 'ejeculation' will you be more keen on the concept?

[makewashirahen]

... not in the context I believe you're referring to.

[accioswallow]

Could I offer anything in return for a less loved, yet equally climactic volume?

[makewashirahen]

Love for a volume is a many-layered thing, don't you think?

[accioswallow]

I would be happy with a few of the middle pages, but I doubt that would suit you.

[makewashirahen]

Not at all. What would one do with an incomplete tome?

[accioswallow]

If I am to take the entire multilayered loved book, then perhaps I should offer an exchange in many parts, ne? Would you consider a set of photographs?

[makewashirahen]

You have my full attention.

[accioswallow]

I have had a particular passion for birds in their habitat of late.

[makewashirahen]

Ah. Now that does seem intriguing.

It is especially interesting to picture the home when it is being tended by a different species. Might we have a deal?
