Why are you sad? Would like cheering up?

How could you do that?

I can juggle *smile*

*pulls out some juggling balls and begins to juggle*

*slightly smiles*

Thank you for the effort but I think I'm going to sit here for a while.

*puts the balls away*

Sorry, it was a bit rude of me. I'm Giacomo Casanova, pleased to meet you.

It wasn't rude at all. It was fun to watch, I tried to juggle once when I was little, in my gran's kitchen. Ended messy, it's not good to juggle eggs.

Eggs can be messy. I tried oranges when I first learned to juggle *smile*

My manservant gave me that idea, bless his soul.

That sounds fun. I'll have to learn how sometime.

It is quite fun. It's good entertainment when you're board *smile*

Did I tell you I can play the fiddle as well?

Then we should find you some soil, some sun and water you until your colour perks up and you are yourself once more.

*laughs a little*

I don't think it is that simple.

Of course it can be.

Unless I'm turned into a flower how is can it be so simple?

First of all you have to believe in it.

I do..well I have. I've come so far and it feels like someone should of told me how pathetic I am ages ago.

*smiles and brushes her cheek*

Don't think so little of yourself.

Who'd say something like that?

A friend of mine.

I wouldn't be so quick to call them 'friend'. It sounds more like a jealous acquaintance.

I've never known her to say these type of things, maybe she was having a bad day. I think it needed to be said, the truth can hurt and all that.

No, girl. *looks her all over and shakes her head* You are not a wilting flower. You're barely beginning to blossom. And I'm sure you spin men's heads in your wake - I've known men losing their minds over girls nowhere near half as pretty as you.

Keep your chin up. Don't let the sun set from your eyes. Keep your heart alive. That way, you'll never wilt, even if you're gray and wrinkled.

Thank you, that's sweet of you to say. Sometimes it just hits me the things that...*blushes, unable to finish sentance*..I hope your right.

I still think she must have had a really bad day to say something like that. If you consider her a friend, she'd have known it would make you hurt.

Oh well.

The fact that it hurts means your heart lives. While it lives, there is hope. I know. I've seen it. Open yourself up to those in your life who will be sunshine. Don't stay with the thorns. I did, and I can tell you it's not a good idea.

*smiles* it's nice to see your so optimistic about things. Thank you for your help. I am trying but some days I find it hard.

Hey stranger, you look like you could do with a bit of a distraction.

What do you have in mind?

Honestly? Anything you fancy.

That is really nice of you to offer but I think I just want to sit down for a while, or lay on the grass and watch the clouds. Have you ever done that? you can see some funny shapes at times.

I have done, actually. I own an estate with a rather nice lake and I like to go there sometimes and feed the swans.

Swans are beautiful. I love them and butterflies.

Yes, they are rather lovely.

I always wanted to be a swan when I was younger. Stupid thing to want isn't it? *laughs*

No, not silly. *fiddles with the gold chain around her throat*

Just...sad. There are some who'd give anything to be like you, you know?

*blinks*

Like me? why would that want that?

There're plenty of reasons. Freedom, for one.
