Jean entered the room nodding to those who he knew and returning pleasurable glances to those who he did not. There was an air about him which made others aware of his entrance. Though some regarded him as only an quatence he was generally liked. Taking a seat he opened a leatherbound book which seemed old in make and malde. It was inface quite old. It contained within blank pages which would on occasion be torn away for the purpose of writing a letter. As it was such a case a page was torn and with freshly inked pen he began.
'dear father-
it is with greatest happoness that I recived your owl. I am happy to know of my sister's improved health and that the doctor's have brought hope of her recovery. It pains me deeply to be away from her at this time and I...
Jean looked up from his letter. Glancing about the room for a moment as he reinked his pen.

Wesley had noticec jean enter and having remembered him from the incident at the stairs he closed his book and watched him enter. His continence was pleasent and he smeed to be in high regard by those who knew of him. All save Ian it would seem. He crossed the room and made his way to Jean. Stopping near him and offering his company. "Do you mind?" he asked as he took the seat cross of him.

"Not in the slightest" Jean replied returning to his writing, quickly finding one page insufficent. He tore another. Each time he lifed his head, smiling to Wesley

"I write rather slow, I find it an irksome task -writing- I much prefer to meet and discuss. At most my letters are to arrange such a meeting."

"How do you find the time? Meeting with all who wish to have a word with you?" I can be sure it would be an impossible task for myself" Jean laughed though the statement was very true.

"I do what I can, talk with those who I can and in the end remain most oblivious to the news the others had for me" Wesley laughed too.

"An honest answer.'" Jean laughed. "A lesser man would've denied fault in his scheme." Jeam put down his pen and folded his papers, turning to Wesley. "Would you then admit fault rather than repair it?"

"I find myself content in my faut - be they as they are they do not trouble me." Though falt in excecution and faukt in charecter are far differnt are they not?" He asmiled. "And for what its worth both are rather differnt from fault in art which itself is too agregious and thus will leave me never contented." He found his own thought a bit lengthy. I allow fault in al but my art." He reconciled, "Fault of body and min are accepted be they not grave intrushion on morality."

"Its is a happy view on the matter though be it one which many would consider overly contented. For if not self improvement what is a life's goal?"

"To make something beautiful and leave it in life's wake- Thus life impacts the world quite permenatly. A life will always be misunderstood in hindsight yet art and beauty will remain for all to see and judge not merely to remember."

Jean smiled at the point finding it an interesting view "I cannot argue that." he ceeded. "I don't often find such agreeable society here." He joked, "I've much enjoyed our talk." He stood. "Sad- this must be mailed. I hope we will talk again soon. Has been grand." Jean smiled.

"It has." He returned with a grin. "In due course then." He laughed watching as Jean left.
