Photo Story: Impressions: part 13

January 29, 2007

*Paige is waiting for Sebastian*
Paige: *mutters* I'm not looking forward this...but I'll try to be nice.

*Sebastian arrives*
Sebastian: Thank you for taking the time to show me this skill.
Paige: Okay. *businesslike* Keep in mind I can only talk to butterflies, but the technique might work with other creatures...I'm just not sure.
Sebastian: *nods in understanding*

Paige: Now, I found this butterfly to work with. I can talk to her and she is willing to help.
Sebastian: What kind of magic do you use to communicate?
Paige: That's just it, I don't use magic. I can't guarantee you'll be able to do it.
Sebastian: We shall see.

*Paige abruptly hands the butterfly to Sebastian*
Paige: Let's get to it.
Sebastian: As you wish. *is slightly put off by Paige's brusque manner*

A While Later...

Sebastian: *frustrated* I still do not understand her. I can tell she is speaking, I am just not comprehending.
Paige: *accusingly* It takes empathy.
Sebastian: You say that as if you believe I do not have empathy.
Paige: Do you?
Sebastian: *ignores her question and tries again*

Sebastian: *concentrates hard on the butterfly*
Paige: *looking bored*
Sebastian: I believe I finally understood something she said...
Paige: Oh?
Sebastian: She said, "My name is Pixie."
Paige: *grudgingly* Yes, that's right.

Sebastian: You sound almost disappointed that I was able to succeed.
Paige: I will admit my doubts at your ability.
Sebastian: And now?
Paige: Well...I'm impressed.

Paige: But you need more practice.
Sebastian: *agrees* Much more practice.
Paige: You can keep the butterfly for a while. She said she would stay with you.
Sebastian: Thank you.

*Sebastian looks at Paige for a minute*
Paige: What?
Sebastian: I am just wondering, what do you talk about with butterflies?
Paige: Oh...well, everything. I just love butterflies. In the spring I will go outside and use magic to make the flowers bloom. Then the butterflies come and I just make friends with them. They love to talk to anyone who can understand. Butterflies are very intelligent... *trails off with slight embarrassment over her enthusiasm*
Sebastian: *fascinated*

Paige: It probably all sounds so silly to you...
Sebastian: Not at all. I think it's beautiful!
Paige: *blush* Thank you.
*awkward silence*

Paige: I should go.
Sebastian: Of course. I'm grateful for your help.
Paige: No problem, just keep practicing.
*Paige leaves*

Sebastian: *watching Paige walk away* She is...amazing...
