but something is puzzling you
another monk ambles past, leaning towards you then away. a regular sway. their heavy breath, sweet with the meadows, filling the air about you, their feet knocking gently on the flagstones of the cloister as they depart

you try to stop the next monk who passes. you know it's forbidden to talk to the monks, but you have to. please, you say. please, I need - the monk pauses, looks at you with their deep, reflective eyes. Mmmmmmmmm, says the monk. lowers their head again, sways off. oh thank you, you say. yes I see. but the monk has moved away now, not listening to you
