[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

No, that's fair. It's... been a very long weekend.

[chanteuser]

[ hmmmmmmmmm.

oh! ]

I've got one.

What's your favourite colour?

[retellers]

Oh... I'm not sure if I have one.

Orange is nice and bright?

[chanteuser]

... Is that a "I don't remember" or "I've never really thought about it", thing?

Orange is nice and bright. It's a warm colour too.

[retellers]

Mm, I just don't think I thought about it, but... no, orange is a good one.

[chanteuser]

[ learning things about each other and themselves: the thread! ]

Come to think of it, I don't think I've thought of my favourite colour either. I wonder if I had one before...

What about favourite foods?

[retellers]

I like sweets!

[ a pause. ]

If you had to think about it, what color would you like?

[chanteuser]

All kinds of them?

[ ... ]

...

Wow, I've really never thought about it. Maybe... blue?

[retellers]

I'm not very picky.

[ they nod. ]

Blue is... pretty. Like the ocean?

[chanteuser]

Or the sky. We... don't have the ocean where I live. Or, I don't remember seeing it.

But the sky is a nice shade of blue too.

[retellers]

[ they look up at the sky. ]

... yeah. You picked a good color!

[chanteuser]

Mm. I think so too. And there's lots of different shades of it too - dark blue is nice as well.

[retellers]

[ they pause, and smile. ]

You seem like a very kind person.
