sorry not sorry for the pun

Still! Several hundred paintings is nothing to sneeze at! I’ll have to see if I can track one down. I’d love to have a Corotley original.

Formality aside, it’s possible the sentiment of having fallen in love with someone after a fairly limited amount of contact may be alarming. Particularly if they now have something like a friendship. But I’ve heard fairly mixed opinions on this, so it seems to be a bit of a gamble anyway.

never be sorry for puns. besides I'll be revenged sooner or later ;)

You've lost me. Have they had a limited amount of contact or a friendship? Those sound like two different things.

....also it'd inevitably a limited amount of contact unless they're actually in contact all the time...

As for the paintings, well. You could just ask.

You will, and I’ll enjoy it, probably :D

The point is, “I think I’ve loved you since shortly after I first spoke to you” tends to come across as frightening rather than romantic, these days. So possibly I might need to scrap talking about how immediate the connection was.

It does, however, appear to be quite a strong connection. So perhaps I ought to focus on that instead. Humans seem to enjoy being compared to the moon or the stars; “there is a gravity that pulls me ever closer to your orbit” has a marvelous ring to it, I think.

You’ve still got some, then? Or am I going to be guessing every time I get a catalogue from Sotheby’s? Unless of course you’ve got a secret painting garret somewhere in the city I don’t know about and have been slinking off to for the past two centuries.

Ugh heard one yesterday. Long story short, turned algorithm into algae-rithm. Owwwww

Some people still find that romantic, don't they? The whole falling in love at first site thing. Scads of films about that. And y'know, the moment when someone says or does something that changes your view of them forever, so maybe it isn't love right off the bat but it's something...gotta be some truth in it, is what I'm saying.

Careful with the extensive metaphors though, too many of them and they won't know what's being talked about at all.

Course I've still got some. Half the fun of messing with the art world is keeping a few pieces in reserve to dole out at unspecified intervals and be hailed as 'lost masterpieces' so you can watch everyone lose their minds. Hilarious.

Did you hear about the bad rainbow? It got sent to prism.

[confoundthemighty]

Fair point. As the complete works of Shakespeare can attest, the line between romantic and confusing can be quite delicate.

Out of curiosity, if I were to ask for a recommendation of a handful of the best of these “scads of films”, what would you suggest? I know you get to the cinema more often than I do as a general rule, so my knowledge in that area is far more scattershot.

You old rascal. The Napoleon of victimless crime. What was your favorite subject? I rather imagine you’d have a knack for stormy seascapes.

oh now that one is beautiful

Ahhhh I'm hardly the best one to ask, demon and all, better off checking with one of the humans. Not Mrs. Sandwich though, she'll just send you a load of porn.

....When Harry Met Sally's good, though.

[He'll lower his pride to say that much. That film is brilliant.]

You'd be wrong. Was imitating Corot, remember? Did a lot of trees.
