Open Gods made of Stone

[Arianthe Swansong]

Arianthe watched his facial expressions carefully then smiled as he made his apologies and walked away. She could not understand his hostility on reading the poem, unless the meaning of it had embarrassed him. She had seen perfectly well through the guise of a pleasant smile and was well aware of the hostility in his voice. Watching him go with a cynical smile, she turned away, sitting back down by the fountain. So what if the subject matter embarrassed him? He should not have suggested what he had. Maybe he was ashamed that he had done so and he had apologised, but still... was it really that bad? Maybe he objected to being called a libertine. Ah well, she would not waste any more of her time thinking about him. She looked around at those around her, her chin resting in a most un-ladylike way on her knee (in a way that would have scandalised her oh-so-proper mother)

I liked seeing this other side of Arianthe so graceful and kind. (What a wonderful little encounter, this is exactly the type of interaction I love to see fill Zeltiva. A patchwork of individual stories and passions bumping together, desperately trying to fit together. Sometimes they just slip apart, unable to grab hold. But, even in that awkward struggle their is a story, and real beauty. Thanks for sharing.) - if you have ANY questions or concerns about this grading, please PM me.
