[Kaede's words are so engrossing, Helena's hands simply still on the vanilla bottle, listening to her speak. different performances for different musicians...it makes sense, thinking about it in that respect. how someone plays music factoring into it...it's a concept she'd never thought about hard before. but then Kaede has to go say that, and she can't help but smile, laugh a little.]
I believe in you!
[she means it with all her heart. now the vanilla - it requires a measurement in an exact spoon, so it's easier if Kaede does it.]
[kaede mirrors her bright smile and thinks that maybe... she can look at books about it, at least; there won't be anything too high level, she's sure, and she really could do with a more professional hand to help, but looking at basic compositions and working something out might not be too hard.
but ah, yes, the vanilla-- she knows vanilla easily overpowers other flavors, so she takes care in doing exact measurements for it...]
But for now... what sort of things do you enjoy writing? Have you ever written a mystery novel? A dear friend of mine was a detective, and he loved stories like that!
[perfect, and once the vanilla is done, the next step is lemon rind, she remembers. a quarter teaspoon, grated - she can grate, if Kaede can tell her when to stop. it's a careful job, but as long as she's steady, there shouldn't be a problem.]
Not mysteries, no...I've been trying my hand at fiction, but what I like to write most of all is poetry.
[and that, she had been hard at work with. if she stopped trying to make her fiction read a specific way and just wrote, it was coming out better, if more poetical.]
Words...I love them, and how the right words help us communicate, and even to express things that we might not be able to know the shape of. You can know another's heart by their words - what they mean to say, what they haven't said. So I want to write poetry and express to others how wonderful life is, when they might not perceive it themselves. But also to go try and give form to sentiment that feels so big it wants to defy language - that's the challenge then, to a writer.
