What's the deal with tomatoes. They're just messy fruit full of water.

Well, yes, some. But, it's not like I can take this home with me and it isn't something I would consider a talent.

Why not? Not like you chose your blessing, not like you don't have to learn and practice how to deal with it. How's it different from what you're born with?

[vanishings]

In a sense I suppose you're right, but I guess to me I just know it's not really mine. Sort of like I'm borrowing it?

[bolderfell]

I guess. Either way, never seems to do anyone any good, really -- either denying the gifts you've got or making too much of other people's, wherever they came from.

If I stole someone's fancy knife, it'd still be a useful tool in my pocket, even if it wasn't mine to start with. That's how I think about talent and magic and 'moon blessings' and things. It's yours while you've got it.

I guess I never really thought about it that way.

( because he's been way too inside his own head since he came here and getting these ""blessings"" that he actually hates. )

Thanks :) that's definitely given me something to think about.

Heh. Only fair you get something to chew on too after your tip about that pizza thing.
