voice

[corundrum]

[A ponderous, quiet sound of crystal tinkling against crystal comes through the feed for a moment or two before someone takes over. It's a deep, androgynous voice, calm and somewhat light, as if with no concerns to speak of.]

I think that display earlier in the month taught us all a little bit more about these "talents" we grasp in coming to this world, huh? But I wonder if anyone knows even more than that yet. Do you think Dreamfolk past have written about this for us?

A strange thing happened recently, too. I felt as if I'd been leaving aside this so-called talent of mine, almost...but in my absence from it, it seems to have become ten times as powerful. It seems like even a neglected talent can flower unexpectedly.

Now I'm wondering whether all the people training so hard earlier this month know that as well. [There's a slight, rolling laugh before the message ends, with another shimmering sound like falling ice.]

It's something that takes time to learn, and living things have precious little of that. It's why my suggestions to you can only ever be that.

[Padparadscha doesn't know the priorities of living things, or even just things that have a lifespan so much shorter than theirs. It's a difficult divide to bridge.]

Living things?

Surely you've figured out by now that I'm not the same kind of being as you, little one.

[That silvery sound comes down the feed again, the sliding of crystal against crystal.]
