pretty exhausting stuff

Depressing. Minoth's realized that a lot of what he writes is...depressing.

That's the easiest word for it, anyway - he could strike more maudlin and say moving, heartrending, full-out emotional, or he could be blunt and say that it's just plain dark, and not in the humorous way, but depressing does just about cover it, at any rate.

But Addam skirts around all that and says that he appreciates the heart in Minoth's work. Not even an airless search for an excuse, he's entirely genuine with it.

So Minoth plumbs the depths, tirelessly. At least it gets him to feel!
