Oh, ballets can absolutely be stories. They are simply told through music and motion rather than words. A different but valid medium, and an excellent choice of ballet. What draws you especially to that tale?
A single, solitary clap at the line regarding mortals being fools? [He's kidding. And outside hitting range at the moment. Calculated.] No, every being has their foolishness. I should very much like to hear your thoughts the next time you see or read it. I don't think I'm any particular inspiration beyond the general fantasy elements, but it's always difficult to be discerning when it's yourself. It's an exploration of humanity that I've always noticed, though admittedly, I am tied to your world. Perhaps there is overlap in that.
It holds a special place in my heart because it was the biggest role I had in my ballet career and my mother came and saw it three times. I was the lead role.
Haha I know you're teasing but I can totally see you doing that. But I'll make sure to give you my thoughts on it the next time I see a production of it.
I'm sorry I did not get to see you perform it. It sounds like quite the sentimental experience though, I'm glad you had that experience. It also explains your mother's dreams involving the ballet.
Do you think playing that sort of duality, experiencing and internalizing it from that artistic perspective, helps you find a symmetry of sorts between light and dark impulses in yourself?
[He finds artists fascinating to talk to, to no surprise.]
I don't think she would mind me sharing it with you. I hold a dreamer's confidences, otherwise.
Perhaps. They would at least be able to view your actions and words without being privy to the internal thought behind them unless shared. Intent is not always translated into action, and sometimes one can deceive themselves in their thoughts.
I appreciate and return the sentiment regarding your company, although I'm certain you could find people much more convivial than I to share your time. Should you wish. [He of all people understood the desire to be a recluse sometimes, buried in work or other distractions. More often than sometimes, really. He didn't desire to take terribly many people into his confidence.]
I might but I don't know if I'd want to be around them, besides I don't hang around you because you're a ray of sunshine, Dream. I like spending time with you because you're you.
It is not something I hear often. For reasons I cannot argue. I'm glad though that you feel differently.
I enjoy your company Dawn, and all it has entailed. It's made a transitional time easier. I thank you for that, and the consistency of our time spent together. I hope it shall continue.

Also you're going to make me start crying here Dream, that's so sweet to know she dreamed of it.

[She doesn't mind one bit, Dream is probably one of the only men she's met who actually likes talking about art and dance.]
Of course. And thank you, hearing that means a lot to me.

I also don't see many people these days so it might be extra hard to say. You're my most frequent visitor, which I enjoy by the way.

I hope it continues as well, and if I ever start to monopolize too much of your time please let me know.
