At the first comment about the surely continued presence of their digits, the Socialite hid a chuckle behind sealed lips, at once recalling someone dear to him saying the very same. However, upon switching to the topic of what was occupying his mind, he tensed.
"Please," the Socialite almost begged under their breath, holding the papers just a minuscule bit tighter. "Please, do not ask me that. Not today and, preferably, not ever, though I cannot help but fear the topic will return and I will not be able to contain myself. There are some cards you hold close to your chest, my friend, I can most assuredly tell but will never speak of. For this, for only this, I ask that you return the favor." It seemed as if they wanted to be angry, indignant, sharp, but found not the energy nor the whet stone with which to hone his defensive edges. He simply spoke a gentle, tired plea, from one secretive soul to another.
The Morbid Socialite sat again, the frustrated hurry melting into exhausted reverie. "I do not think it's silly. In fact, it may be intentional. For logographic languages, the symbols assigned to certain concepts tend to contain the image of that concept in their form. Form to match function. As the Correspondence is strange and powerful, it may hold the power to display concepts in even the vaguest of forms."
