[ there isn't much going on here. the art gallery usually doesn't have many people in it due to the disturbing imagery tacked onto the walls, but the grand highblood stands in front of a large animated painting, his eyes dull and sort of fixed on the slow undulating motion of the waves painted on the canvas. It's a picture of a stormy sea, dark and chaotic, waves crashing on top of each other over and over.... ]

[At first John is eager to listen to the Highblood's story, and he can understand the terminology somewhat well from conversations with the trolls. But as it goes on his face changes from a smile, to a frown, to an expression that could be best described as "D:".] Oh no! I guess you're okay, but I'm sorry that happened to you.

[Pause.]

...You know, my friend Rose always said that when things like that happen when you're a kid--er, a wriggler, then when you grow up you start to get scared of them for no reason... do you think you want to get over that fear? There's a pool here.

[Smile. So hopeful.]
