Morning, all! Welcome to Rainbow Snippets. 😀 😀
Continuing with “The Hippie Whisperer“, Ben’s “even white teeth” are distracting.” Longer for context.

“I suppose you’re mostly nondescript when you’re working?” I gathered up the rest of the plates while Chester and Dre put away the leftovers.
“More or less. What about you? What do you do?”
“Well, nothing as glamorous as you. I’m a counselor at a community college.”
“I see. And you ask me what right I have to force people to—”
“Wait a minute! I don’t force anyone to do anything. I simply provide guidance and support for students in order to meet their goals.”
“But it’s according to what you think they should do, what you think is best for them, right?”
“Well, yes. That’s what I’m trained for.”
“Using art as a way to enlighten an audience, enhance human experience and thought, no matter how uncomfortable—that’s what I’m trained for.”
“Okay, okay. I get it.” One thing about Ben, you were never in doubt as to his true feelings on a subject. “Can we cry truce?” I asked.
“But we were just getting started,” Ben said with a cheeky smile.
Oh dear, the patriotic punk had even, white teeth. The universe had it in for me, surely.

I love this strong, questioning back and forth, and “patriotic punk.” The latter made me smile.
Thank you 🙂
I love “patriotic punk.”
And I love Ben’s fire and passion.
Thank you 🙂
Such a fiery banter they’ve got going!
Another version of the mating call, perhaps? 🙂
