...My goodness, there's nothing like keeping busy to help a person keep from worrying. And to make a person forget to write in her journal, too. I'm glad I've finally made a list of it all, though; it'd be much harder to keep up with everything if I didn't have it all written down someplace. I do hope I'm not forgetting anything, though!

It's better to keep busy. If I'm not--well, no, I don't know when I'm going home, honestly. Not anymore. Though it seems as though some people can tell when they're about to be taken home, and I'd really thought--I don't know. But if it's true that time doesn't pass while I'm gone...then it's all right, if I don't leave here just yet, isn't it? Everything happens for a reason, Daddy would say. Every cloud has a silver lining. It's only right that I make the best of it.

Mm, it's nice to see that I haven't completely forgotten how to play Greensleeves, though. Still...perhaps I ought to branch out a little, and try learning something new instead. After all, just because I'll never get tired of it doesn't mean everyone else around me won't, either.

I must admit I couldn't, either, but I took notes on it, if you'd like them.

Part of me is tempted to ask what sort of notes you took.

Well, let me see, here...they look something like this:

Clouds: all about Life, the Earth, and Oneness (?) Clouds know how to Be?

--"If everyone could just Be, we'd all float along together much better"

Light--but with gravity (more grave than us) ~~But are they graver than a graveyard?~~ Hmph. I thought it was a good pun, thank you very much.

Clouds do what they are and Are what they are and to be or not to be, that is the question Oh honestly this is the silliest

It all made sense to me that day, as I recall, though like the way things make sense in dreams.

It did rather start to make sense at one point, but then it stopped again shortly thereafter.

[OOC: Ahahaha, I like the sound of that~]

I've nothing against clouds, of course, though I'm not sure I see quite so much meaning in them ordinarily.

No, they're rather harmless, in and of themselves. A bit dangerous to walk on, perhaps, if you're not careful, but generally harmless. Some are sturdier than others.

I can only ask this question because we're in the City: you've walked on clouds?

Back home, there's a set of stone stairs that leads up into the land of the clouds, yes. I've been up there before, but it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences.

I can imagine it wouldn't be the most pleasant of experiences, no.

Granted, that's more the fault of the dragon than the fault of the clouds. But enough strange things have happened up there that it's hardly the safest place to be, and not a place I'd choose to visit often.

But, still, you have walked on clouds.

I have. That'd make me quite unusual in the world you come from, wouldn't it?

Exceedingly unusual.

Well. I suppose that's all right, anyway.

I have to wonder how I would have been seen in your world, anyway.

I think that would depend entirely on how you acted while you were there. I'm fairly certain you'd get along with my parents, at least.

[OOC: Aaaand if he really wants to find out, she'll be dreaming of Daventry for Dream Vortex.]

And is that a good thing or a bad thing to get along with them?

Well, it's not very difficult, since my parents get along well with most everyone. Though I'd have to warn you about getting along too well with my mother, or she might attempt to convince you to marry me.

[OOC: Yup, just hit me up when the tl;dr post goes up or something, and we can arrange a suitable adventure for him. :D]

And here I'm hardly the marrying type.

Oh, I don't know. She can be quite persistent when she sets her mind to something. You might find yourself agreeing to it just to get her to stop mentioning it.

~~And though she'd not know it, it would likely be your death--~~ She's that persistent? How unfortunate for any of your suitors.

That they'd find themselves bullied into marrying me? Fortunately for everyone concerned, I seem to have inherited quite a bit of stubbornness, myself.
