I've been bored, waiting for El to finish my ID. I was trying to write some.
[ he needs to tell his castmates wtf it goes to show how well he's paying attention ]
Maiden Kira, I was among those properly educated in poetry - you've come to exactly the right place for such a thing. What style of poem are you thinking of submitting? What are the rules? I'm a personal fan of bawdy yuefu poetry, you know?
It didn't translate well, I see. It's a form of poetry in the style of folk songs, at its core. They're set to a tune, and don't really have a set fixed-rhythm.
At fifteen I joined the army on expedition, Only at eighty did I finally return.
[ oh ho wait a second ]
Oh HO! Wait a second now! Who are you writing about, hm? You can't expect me to not want to know. Is there a gentleman caller in your life? Is he kind to you? Is he tall and handsome and talented?
How can they be set to a tune but not have a fixed rhythm?
[ that doesn't make sense. but it doesn't matter because wwx would rather hear about the hot goss anyway. rey's trying to pick apart the example he provided as she explains. ]
He's all of those things.
[ kind to her, at least. less to others, but kinder than he has been in the past. is that the list people are supposed to use for picking out partners? did rey just hit the jackpot without realizing it? (no. the unspoken part of this list is also 'capable of an emotional range beyond that of a single walnut.') ]
He organized Kurt Fischer's capture. Kylo Ren. Those attempts aren't as good :(
