And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
And prayers and proclamations
In the grand deeds of great men and the smallest of gestures
And short shallow gasps

But with all my education I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

There is magic in my world, Valdis replied, Not like yours. The magic resides only within certain races. Humans have no magic.

"Hnnn..." Nita said, turning it over in her mind, regretting that she'd stayed up so late.

"It's more than humans don't inherently have magic, in the world I'm from. So I guess that's just a difference between world structures."

She snorted. No two worlds are the same.

Valdis stretched back, then shook herself again.

It has been a pleasure discussing such things, she continued, But I'm afraid I must move on. You may stop by the Sentry in the morning to report this incident if you feel so inclined.

Nita nodded, one last affirmative for the night.

/Be seeing you,/ she replied.

When she left the alley, she did not run, but neither did she shuffle.

This was going to be one for her self-reports.
