[In the early hours of the morning, what people will see over their SFCs is a very large room that takes on the appearance of an art studio. Despite the many artistic supplies spread in various locations, the room does house a single man in it. This man is sitting in front of a canvas that doesn't have much on it, yet he's staring very intently at the canvas before setting the brush down. What can be seen is a painting of three hearts; one white, one black, and one gray. After a few moments of staring at his creation, he picks up the SFC which was already switched on prior to him painting this odd picture, the expression on his face rather neutral. Not happy or sad, simply neutral.]

Do call me curious dear Vatheon, but this is something I have been pondering for some time now. Why should we celebrate holidays we don't celebrate back home? Certainly some have been for the amusement of it, but take for instance this one we currently celebrated. For those who don't believe in love, a holiday entirely dedicated to it is seen as ridiculous. But that can be said of all people who don't believe in certain holidays, doesn't it?

Though this holiday especially can also arouse questions within us, particularly to matters of the heart as that seems to be its theme. A few I can think of are: Is there such a thing as true happiness or love? Is the feeling truly there or not? Can the supposed happiness and love gained with another who said they felt the same remain always? Or will it fade away like sand being washed away by the ocean?

[He's kind of to the point on this one.]

Being told I was never a pleasant person to be around, though I honestly don't care if people think that.

Sometimes it is better not to care what others think of you. Though, has something given you cause to question it?

Wavering thoughts from times I don't wish to remember and being here makes my heart unsure of what to think.

Ah.. that is an unfortunate position to be in. What is it of these times that you wish to forget? If I may ask such a thing of you.

I'm afraid I don't wish to speak of them, as I thought they were gone a long time ago.

Then I will not press for details.. but perhaps it would help, maybe with someone that you are more inclined to trust?

Those are wise words, however I'm finding that rather difficult.

To talk, or to find someone that you trust?

Both options to be quite honest.

I see.. Are they things that you want?

I do wonder about that, for the longest time I've always known what I wanted. This time however, there is uncertainty within me.

Perhaps, then.. it would not be such a bad thing to take a chance, and do something different?

I'm not one against taking risks, however this type of risk I'm not accustom to.

Would it be one that you would be willing to take?

Seeing as I'm a gambling man, I could bet on taking it and see where it takes me.

Now you are sounding a little more optimistic.

That's amusing to hear, I've never been told I'm an optimist.

Then there is a first time for everything, is there not?

And life is about change, isn't it?

I believe that it is.

I do wonder if all beings can change, not only humans.

I can say that change is not only limited to humans, being of a species that is not human.

Yes, I have seen quite a few of your kind in this city. You are trolls, are you not? From what I've seen and heard on the network of course. Though if I may be frank, you don't have the same appearance as any troll I've met in my world.

I have been given the impression that we are expected to be ugly, and.. have something to do with bridges?

In my world, they're not involved with bridges but ugliness is a truth. They also attack humans and try to cook them for meals in their lairs.
