[he tries. well, okay, he doesn't try. that's the effortless part.]

Have I offended? My apologies.

But I do appreciate the commentary. I've never thought on it this much before. I've learned something, today.

[fabrefactions]

There is more to the intricacies and politics of the art world than just entitled artists arguing over who gets to paint with the blackest-black or the pinkest-pink.

[freeskies]

And yet, those arguments still happen.

But I've learned to be aware of what I don't know. While it isn't always the case, often, I find something more interesting behind it.

Now, I've another proposition, should you be willing to continue listening.

[fabrefactions]

Half the enjoyment of research is discovering what you did not know.

[The other half is finishing the paper that is plaguing you and never having to think about it until grading comes back.]

... I'm reading, rather than listening, but by all means continue.

[freeskies]

How pedantic.

But there is a musical for which I've acquired tickets. Someone seems to think you would be a good person to ask to attend.

[fabrefactions]

... Who?

[He literally can't think of anyone...??]

[freeskies]

Irrelevant for now. Are you interested?

[fabrefactions]

I would argue otherwise. But I have been told recently that I should look into the music world alongside the more literal "artistic" world, so yes. Consider me interested.

[freeskies]

Wonderful. Then you are cordially invited to attend the 8pm showing on the 20th this month of Hamilton.

[fabrefactions]

I see. Thank you for the invitation.

[He doesn't see?? Why this?? but at least he's polite.]

Now you've been appropriately vague until the big reveal, will you tell me who suggested I should go?

[freeskies]

Elliot. He seems to be a mutual acquaintance of ours.

[fabrefactions]

[oh. Oh!]

Oh, the cultural exchange... he did mention something about looking out for musicals. I suppose I should keep an eye out for some interesting exhibitions to keep my side of the deal.

[freeskies]

Indeed. I'll leave that between the two of you to manage.

In the mean time, this was a pleasant chat. I hope that we can have more, Yusuke.

[fabrefactions]

If you say so. Some parts could've been less antagonistic, I believe.

[On Franklin's part.]
