Many thanks for the reservation. So you enjoy such stories as well! Then that does soothe the self-consciousness quite a bit, how reassuring! [as if he's got a self-conscious bone in his body, really...]
Although, then again...I suppose you wouldn't very well tell a customer that you think they have bad taste either, whether you truly think so or not...
[ha. not that the phrasing wise ended up choosing isn't rather charming anyway. i think you're fine the way you are...hardly anyone ever tells him that. for various reasons,]
Do you ever feel a particular urge to give those with poor taste a little gentle nudge in a new direction? Or maybe you just let them 'chase their bliss', as it were?
[ on his own end, wise is being... fairly cautious. he knows enough about hugo to know that this line of questioning could potentially be idle curiosity, but is more likely driving to some bizarre end; what that end is, though, wise currently can't see. he doubts very much that hugo actually feels insecure about his own tastes.
it's an unusual feeling, being questioned about one's own personal habits... wise in particular isn't used to it, given how skillfully — and purposefully — he tends to hide himself behind his much more outgoing and outwardly interesting little sister.
he meant it, though. when he said that hugo was fine the way he is. wise has never been someone who expects others to give way to the world around them. ]
Ahaha... admittedly, I prefer to let Belle handle customers like that whenever I can...
On an objective basis, though, I think people are entitled to enjoy whatever forms of art that move them. Even if that might be... less intellectually stimulating than what I might personally enjoy.
I try not to enforce my own viewpoints on our patrons. Every now and then, though, the customer that's usually only into action films with big blockbuster budgets might come to me and say "I want a movie I can cry over!" or something. And in such cases... I'll be very happy to have the perfect recommendation for them.
