She adjusts the tablecloth, waits for a knock. Mr. Greaves is on his way, always here at half three like clockwork.
A quick glance in the mirror, final preparation. Her hair loose, a little kohl at the corners of her eyes. The Greek-like tunic isn’t terribly authentic, but no one notices. Maybe next she could try soothsaying. People like variety, after all.
Tap tap, and she schools her face to a droop-eyed look of languor before turning the knob. Greaves is waiting, anxious to “speak” with his wife. She feels a fleeting pang of guilt before she invites him in.

Nice!
I was wondering if anyone would use that meaning.

Hey! I was going to do a "medium" medium!

Beat me to it, too, Ailleann. Although I had one I thought might put a nice twist on it. We'll see if I take the time to actually put it down on paper to see if it works.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
“It won’t work this way.”
“Why not, it…why not?”
“This is…I don’t know, the idea, it’s not visual, maybe…?”
“Okay, but, …what, are you gonna write it
longhand,
or…?"
“No…I don’t know, I can’t see it.”
“So…but the guy wants
this
…I mean, you know, we work in visuals…”
"You
work in visuals. I work in ideas.”
“Oh, nice, very pretentious. But until you can communicate your
ideas
to an audience telepathically…”
“…heh, maybe by osmosis…”
“Shut up and…you need a pen?”
“Yeah, just…maybe a rock album?”
“…seriously?”
“Stupid?”
“Put down the beer. Get out.”
