Waltzing Matilda

Rian's Other Professor telephoned. She wants to come over tomorrow, for a visit.

Rian finds this a ttch odd. Not unusual, but odd. She is more of a 'get together for dinner' creature, yes? Not a 'stop by and let's chat over Poison' variety.

She wants to ask Rian something, perhaps. I wonder what?

Whilst we were camping, she told Rian that her husband is sinking into a black spell. Does she suppose Rian has the answers that will somehow keep her husband afloat? Or does she want a sympathetic ear?

You laugh at Rian's puzzlement, perhaps. But this is out of character for the Other Professor. And her want lately has been tangible. AND it troubles Rian that I cannot quite put my finger on what she needs. I like to give souls what they need, yes?

You seem sure it has nothing to do with tattoos. Lending the ear, then, seems the best option.

What if Rian needs said ear back?

Silly. You're only *lending* the ear. You're not VanGogh.

*starts* Rian is not?

*in a low voice* Confidentially, I've not wanted to be so bold in reminding her she's not VanGogh because she does the most beautiful paintings of sunflowers and starry nights. But when an ear is in danger...

Perhaps suggest a tattoo of said ear. That way, it could be kept by the recipient. And perhaps kill two birds with one stone?

How did you get from ears to stones? I'm also not sure where the bird comes in, for that matter. Does it fly off with the ear, perhaps?

*looks at severed ear*

What are we going to do, clone her?

Well. Kate DID want eleven Rians.

Did she actually say she wanted them...or just that Willem had forced them upon her?

*waltzes off*

(when in your blog, you seem to rub off on me)

How did Willem get those 11 Rians in the first place? And why was he so eager to get rid of them?

Eleven Rians are, of course, far too much for any but the most stalwart, energetic and pure of spirit to handle.

So that pretty much rules all of us out then.

*snigger at Jes*

Now I'm waiting for bob to wander in brandishing the 'on topic' stick.
