[dothelokimotion]

How could it? It comes from you.

[thirtythird]

So do long tirades about cream tea and silk swatches, in all fairness.

[dothelokimotion]

I've heard worse.

[thirtythird]

Perhaps, but I'd like you to hear better. Odes to your best qualities and all that.

[dothelokimotion]

I do not think those exist.

[thirtythird]

Something to keep me occupied, then, while you're busy sewing chaos.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

I will wait in anticipation.

[thirtythird]

Does it still count if I ask for your help thinking of rhymes?

[dothelokimotion]

We can tally it up and see it through the end.

[thirtythird]

What rhymes with "machinations," then?

[dothelokimotion]

Frustrations.

[thirtythird]

Doesn't quite seem the word for an ode meant to be brimming with praise.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know. There is beauty in the truth as well.

[thirtythird]

If that's what you'd prefer. I expect most men would enjoy a bit of puffery.

[dothelokimotion]

And I enjoy it. But I suppose I am afraid of it too.

[thirtythird]

Why? If you don't mind my asking.

[dothelokimotion]

I'm afraid I'll lose myself to it. Or I'll start to believe it.

[thirtythird]

Not unreasonable fears, I suppose.

A truthful set of odes it shall be, then.

[dothelokimotion]

These are getting harder and harder to picture.

[thirtythird]

And thus that much more of a triumph when they're pulled off.

Even if they're pulled off a bit clunkily.

[dothelokimotion]

I think I can forgive that once they come into existence.

[thirtythird]

Does "magnanimous" rhyme with "calamitous," do you think?

[dothelokimotion]

Close enough, I believe.

[thirtythird]

Then this is going excellently.

I adore you, darling.

[dothelokimotion]

As I . . . treasure you.
