Leap day.

How many of you will leap?

Try this:

I'll answer one question, if you ask it properly, and providing it isn't offensively stupid.

Think carefully. I'm not burdened by time, and the next time I pay attention to mortal calendar affairs may be few and far between.

I want the only thing worth wanting, Edward.

[enigmaestro]

Everything. But some wants burn brighter than others.

[smilelikeaknife]

Of course they do. Some desires are sharper than others.

[enigmaestro]

Just as some cravings are unbearable.

[smilelikeaknife]

Do you have an unbearable craving you need to share?

[enigmaestro]

No. We know what chords you've been playing, and I've kept them in check.

[smilelikeaknife]

And how have you managed that?

[enigmaestro]

Will power.

[smilelikeaknife]

Even you don't have that kind of willpower.

[enigmaestro]

Even me, it says.

[smilelikeaknife]

Say thank you.

[enigmaestro]

It'll take more flattery than that.

[smilelikeaknife]

Don't fish. It's not polite.

[enigmaestro]

I don't necessarily value politeness.

[smilelikeaknife]

No, and I'm more interested in the other things you value.

[enigmaestro]

I would be surprised if you weren't.

[smilelikeaknife]

It's proof of investment.

[enigmaestro]

You invest in many.

[smilelikeaknife]

It's true.

It's been a good day.

[enigmaestro]

For you, that's quite obvious.

[smilelikeaknife]

Are you bothered?

[enigmaestro]

No, you are free to your other enjoyments.

As I am free to mine.

[smilelikeaknife]

Are you asking for a measure of freedom?

[enigmaestro]

There is no asking with you.

[smilelikeaknife]

Are you implying that you are telling me?
