When Magnus looked at Imasu, he saw Imasu had dropped his head into his hands." Er, " Magnus said. "Are you quite all right?"" I was simply overcome, " Imasu said in a faint voice. Magnus preened slightly. "Ah. Well.""By how awful that was, " Imasu said. Magnus blinked. "Pardon?""I can't live a lie any longer! " Imasu burst out. "I have tried to be encouraging. Dignitaries of the town have been sent to me, asking me to plead with you to stop. My own sainted mother begged me, with tears in her eyes - ""It isn't as bad as all that - ""Yes, it is! " It was like a dam of musical critique had broken. Imasu turned on him with eyes that flashed instead of shining. "It is worse than you can possibly imagine! When you play, all of my mother's flowers lose the will to live and expire on the instant. The quinoa has no flavor now. The llamas are migrating because of your music, and llamas are not a migratory animal. The children now believe there is a sickly monster, half horse and half large mournful chicken, that lives in the lake and calls out to the world to grant it the sweet release of death. The townspeople believe that you and I are performing arcane magic rituals - ""Well, that one was rather a good guess, " Magnus remarked." - using the skull of an elephant, an improbably large mushroom, and one of your very peculiar hats! "" Or not, " said Magnus. "Furthermore, my hats are extraordinary."" I will not argue with that." Imasu scrubbed a hand through his thick black hair, which curled and clung to his fingers like inky vines. "Look, I know that I was wrong. I saw a handsome man, thought that it would not hurt to talk a little about music and strike up a common interest, but I don't deserve this. You are going to get stoned in the town square, and if I have to listen to you play again, I will drown myself in the lake."" Oh, " said Magnus, and he began to grin. "I wouldn't. I hear there is a dreadful monster living in that lake." Imasu seemed to still be brooding about Magnus's charango playing, a subject that Magnus had lost all interest in. "I believe the world will end with a noise like the noise you make! "" Interesting, " said Magnus, and he threw his charango out the window." Magnus! "" I believe that music and I have gone as far as we can go together, " Magnus said. "A true artiste knows when to surrender."" I can't believe you did that! " Magnus waved a hand airily. "I know, it is heartbreaking, but sometimes one must shut one's ears to the pleas of the muse."" I just meant that those are expensive and I heard a crunch. . Cassandra Clare
Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart.
