You Think I Won't Talk?

"It is interesting, isn’t it?" — I gulped down, relieved yet feeling unsafe with myself. Adding some more to it so the conversation wouldn’t end rashly. — "Uh, I believe it gives a different spice to conversations when analogies are used."

"They probably do."

"Hm... Well, I could give you a funny one for example... like: ’You are like a cow looking at a piano’."

"... Pardon? A cow?"

"It means they have no clue of what to do about something."

"..."

"... because... a cow does not know how to play the piano..."

"Yes, that makes sense."

"Your grace, may you please forget I ever said that? I am now regretting that example since you did not laugh about it."

"It is funny, nonetheless?... It does change the spice, that you mentioned." — As if considering seriously the little things I said in this small talk... he laughed softly. And I laughed back feeling a hint of a good ambience although I inwardly reproached myself about the supposedly "funny" example I gave. Acknowledging that something had changed for the better with this silly interaction of ours even while embarrassing myself carelessly. — "It is a rare example to use, haha."
