“A fair point—on both accounts. You speak well, sir,
but as beautiful as a certain arrangement of words
may sound, they hold only as much value as their
meaning.” She smiled quietly. “Though sweet words
ring pleasantly upon one’s ears, they are ephemeral.
They provide little in the way of nutrition or sustenance.”

“Your words are nearly as beautiful as mine own.
I am thoroughly impressed, my dear. Though I
must disagree. Sweet words are food of the heart.
Nourishing the heart is just as crucial. How else
does one sate the rising tides of salt water?
I must digress, however, might a put a name to that
silver tongue? With quick wit like that you are
undoubtedly someone I would like to remember."
