It's certainly a change from my usual lifestyle, having the Vine always prowling around. It's like a village you can never leave, because the village follows you through the vines.

I can't remember the last time I had this little peace and quiet. Are humans always this talkative, or only when forced together under mysterious circumstances?

Oh, humans love to sing, of course. They are animals, and like most animals, they have their many calls, crying out each to each.

Often the noises are tedious and crass, chatter and clatter, but now and again, one will sing a pretty song.

And like all animals, they are all but deaf to any song not their own.

Such a comparison is is not necessarily fair to other animals. [She smiles.] I've known some that were quite intelligent and well aware of what their fellow beasts were saying.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

I find most comparisons involving humans are a little unfair to somebody.

[existwithoutme.livejournal.com]

I cannot deny the truth of that.

And have you any more specific reason to find humans so distasteful? [Hatreds and dislikes do interest her.]

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

Oh, everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

[existwithoutme.livejournal.com]

I understand quite well. I have many of both. In this place, it seems one must grow used to the chatter of humans, as it permeates the very air.

I have decided to make the attempt to associate with them, but I may think better of that idea, before too long.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

How conscientious of you.

[existwithoutme.livejournal.com]

I'm simply interested for the moment. It might be amusing.

What is your name?

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

Yuka Kazami.

[existwithoutme.livejournal.com]

I am Kuja.

Your hair is a fine shade, Yuka, as lush as leaves in summer.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

What forward flattery. It almost makes me think you want something from me.

[existwithoutme.livejournal.com]

I am a self-sufficient being. I want nothing from you, but I have a great appreciation for color, both vivid hues and softer tones.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

An expert, are you? I guess I have no choice but to accept your compliments.
