[On top of uncomfortable, Lapis is actually starting to look embarrassed now. That's an accomplishment, really!]

I know that's not how you meant it. That doesn't mean that what I said -- isn't a valid answer, or that it's a different subject. Or that I misunderstood you! It's all part of the same thing. And I really want to be able to stop having this conversation, do we have to just run out of things to say that the other person has a meaningful response to?
