Blue like the sky on a clear day? Or like that tarp over there? Or neither?

[incaenstrix]

Umm...

[ She tugs self-consciously at a lock of her hair and confesses - ]

I...don't know. I haven't really thought about it before. How do you decide? I'm sure that question sounds stupid.

[altusimperius]

[How does one decide? It's a fair question, and Benedict pauses to consider it.]

It's like... well, it's...

[He actually stops walking, tapping his chin in thought as he turns to Tertia.]

...well how do you know what tastes and smells you like? You just do.

[incaenstrix]

[ She thinks about that a moment. ]

Well - but there are certain tastes and certain smells that are comforting. Or disgusting. I don't know if you could say that about colors.

[altusimperius]

You can absolutely say that about colors.

[He gestures to another stall, hung with garish materials of the like used for tablecloths and curtains.]

That mauve, that’s disgusting. It makes one sick to look at.
