"Never mess about with sparrows," Ewan said grimly. "Sorry. Was that too dark?"
"The artist deals with what cannot be said in words. The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words." --Ursula K. Le Guin
“No.” Rana shook her head, switching back to Eastern without realizing it. “Nature is never sterile. I just feel bad for the poor thing is all. I wouldn’t like to go out that way.”

"No, nor would I." He hesitated. "I think mob murder is one of the most frightening ways to die. Being helpless like that, attacked from all sides."

Rana grimaced and nodded. "Although... that might be quicker than... other options, I've heard about."

"Oh, certainly." He winced. "Let's talk of happier things, shall we? Is this your first time ever being out of the Eastern Realm or have you traveled to the Southern Realm as well?"

“We’ve traveled a bit, but mostly stick to the East… well, Lia and I anyway. Father and the other Reputations travel a lot, of course.”

"Certinly." He nodded. "Have you been to Akaratara before?"

"I'm afraid not." Rana shook her head. "Why? Is it nice?"

"It's much like any place in the world--there's beauty and pain there. They have some famously impenetrable fortresses there, and beautiful wall paintings, but many of their rulers neglect their people."

(Fair enough! I assume you're rapidly approaching finals?)
"That seems a fairly universal plight," Rana commiserated with a sigh.

(Very rapidly. Plus I got in a small wreck yesterday and I've had to rearrange my majors and minors)
"I'm afraid so." He gave a rueful smile. "I pray that'll be rectified one day."

Rana rolled her eyes before she could stop herself, but quickly turned her head away, hoping he hadn't noticed. "Yes, hopefully so."

(Yep! Touch of whiplash today but I and the lady who crashed into me are both physically fine. She was very upset about it and felt bad, understandably, but I told her it was fine.)
Ewan blinked, mildly surprised by her reaction. He was silent for a short time, thinking. Then he said carefully, "It can be difficult to be optimistic, of course. Especially when one is wrapped up in war, when it's all one has ever known."

(hope you feel better soon! That's never a good time)
Rana blushed. Shit. He'd seen. She hesitated, then took a deep breath. She had to address it. Apologize. She couldn't just pretend like it hadn't happened. "I... apologize for the impertinence. I'm still learning to keep my thoughts off my face. It's a problem. And I'm sorry for making it your problem."
