Soo Toglak and the Lyrical Mermaid

It is a very human trait to imbue inanimate objects with feelings. Amid the turmoil of complex society it is also all too easy to lose the measure of such influences. How many key moments in civilisation have been shaped by reference to some unfeeling thing? It takes only one individual enslaved by ambiguous emotion to decide upon matters of import after kneeling before an idol and communing in deep silence, even if the source of inspiration has big sparkly eyes and very pink lips fixed with an indulgent smile. A creature who has never been known to blink.
