[Pel is restless, and possibly a little bored. Sometimes, you have to walk away from work for a few minutes and do something else. But Pel doesn't like to shut off her brain. So she speaks into the stone, voice mild and thoughtful.]

Anyone up for an exchange of riddles?

I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?

[fledglingenchanter]

Hmm... It can't be air because you can see it, A sponge is pretty light, but it wouldn't make a bucket lighter. [Suddenly she gasps in realization.] It's a hole, right?

[mythalenaste]

Very good. It is a hole. Your turn.

[fledglingenchanter]

What is harder to catch the faster you run?

[mythalenaste]

[A pause as she mulls over the things one might catch--a cold, a person, game, oh!]

Your breath.

[fledglingenchanter]

[She guessed it too fast! Sadira furrows her brows in thought, trying to think of a harder riddle.]

I can bring tears to your eyes and a smile to your face. I form in an instant and last for a lifetime, but I can be forgotten. What am I?

[mythalenaste]

A song?

[fledglingenchanter]

N-- actually, that is a good answer. Not quite the one I was going for but I think I have to give you points for that.
