Fabrissienen silk did wrinkle so easily. It was difficult to work with, but worth it. The pattern shapes itself by the wrinkles, and one should always try to form it correctly. It's so easy to ruin it, to make it useless for wearing as it should be, as an elegant and beautiful cascade. He sighed. The same thing as myself. I learned the correct skills, Tain certainly tried to mold me to be the man he thought I should be. Honor to the State, Duty to Your Comrades, No Room for Yourself. Somehow his structure didn't break, but didn't hold correctly. Somehow he managed to not fit, no matter how hard he tried. No amount of Kanar will drown a guilty conscience, nor still a mind screaming that he shouldn't feel guilty in the first place. He smoothed out the fabric again, trying to get the lines one way. Bashir always thought that that was one of his most honorable facets. Guilt, Compassion and Sympathy? How could these replace State, Duty and Cardassia? He sighed again, as the fabric waved under his fingers. I should have stayed a gardener. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
