Ah. She was prone to hubris and grand ambitions. It seems I must have a type.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

"Hubris... which word is that again? Although, if you say that's your type, are you—"

She lowers her voice to a stage whisper. "Are you talking about love."

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[beautifulend]

I am, yes.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

"Ohhhhhh." She goes a little pink in the cheeks.

"You make it sound a little troublesome, though."

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[beautifulend]

I've heard it said that love is hard. Many people never seek to pursue it for themselves, and even many of those who do can spend lifetimes searching for it without ever truly finding it.

Though...once you've finally scaled that mountain, it's not particularly hard to stay at its summit. If it's something one cares to do, there's nothing more worth it in the world.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

She appears to consider this with a great deal of thought.

"...'And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.' I think... that seems like something to aspire to."

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[beautifulend]

It is, isn't it?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

"Mhm. And even if it's hard... that makes it all the more worth... um, worthwhile, doesn't it?"

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[beautifulend]

That's right!

[ they give her a pat on the head ]

You're pretty smart, aren't you?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

Earnestly:

"I'm really smart! Someday I'm going to be the smartest!"

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[beautifulend]

Oh, I'm sure! A lofty goal, but I'm sure you're capable of it.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

"I definitely am!" Sparklesparkle.

"...I think you're really smart, too. I think I'm learning a lot from you, so... I want to see what you have to say about all of this."

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[beautifulend]

Mm. This beast appreciates the compliment. Shall we move on to the last section, then?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: MID 20TH CENTURY

[libraryofbabel]

"Mhm! Let's go!"
