*Yrael has read the Oxford English Dictionary from cover to cover. He knows what a pomegranate is.*

*But when he asked Bar to surprise him, and she gave him a pomegranate, Yrael realized that the dictionary didn't mention how to eat one.*

*Cue the slightly bemused not'cat.*

It sounds good to me, *Meg says, and then grins, a little wryly.*

- 'course, not everyone wants to tell their own story.

[mogget_cat]

*He smiles.* But that is just it. They would not have to tell their own stories, I know I would not want to tell all of mine.


Just... stories of their worlds. Like your telling of the story of Persephone. Patrons telling stories that have shaped their worlds.

[OOC: Ack, missed this, sorry! *sheepish*]

People have tried to collect them before, *Meg says, a little thoughtfully.* Stories from other worlds - I dunno how successful they were -

[mogget_cat]

I do not wish to collect them, just to hear them. The inflections, the facial expressions of the storyteller. They are all important. I want those just as much as the words themselves.

I've never been a huge reader, *Meg admits,* so I'm not going to disagree -

Though of course I think the Opera's a great way to tell stories, just 'cause you get more with it, you know? The music and the dancing too can say more than just words -

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael smiles.* Stories can be told so many different ways. Opera, plays, dances, song, bardic storytelling, simply speaking the story.

I want to hear them. Learn them.

[balletrat]

*Meg grins at him.*

- well, if there's more you want to hear, I know loads. Can't exactly put on a full Opera here, but -

[mogget_cat]

*He smiles.* I would like that very much, Meg.
