"A pity, I would hate to stoke the fire of a new interest that might lead you to step on Brother Dusk's toes," her tone is teasing and playful, clearly finding amusement in simply talking with him.
The overabundance of formality isn't lost on Jessica β the clean lines of her eyebrows shoot up in amusement as she pulls her lips between her teeth, fighting the urge to laugh how automated his response was. Sucking in a deep breath through her nose, she releases her lips from between her teeth to let out a breath.
Hearing the chance in his voice, Jessica rests her back against the chaise while leaning towards him, conveying her interest in him and that he has her complete attention. Her fingers idly slide over the fabric, dangerously close to touching him but never attempting to make contact.
"It varies, from soul to soul. In the study, I believe five different art pieces were used; the test subjects were asked what emotions each piece invoked within them. Each answer they received from the test subjects was different β some shared a similar theme of feeling a calming serenity from the forest scene. In contrast, others felt a sense of terror from the unknown or crippling loneliness from being isolated and alone in the forest. I would love to see these pieces for myself one day, to experience how my soul perceives them compared to the test subjects or those around me."
