DOC: ˗ˏˋ I don't often find myself in a position to be anxious. It's not my style! ˎˊ˗

DOC: ˗ˏˋ I'm sure some serious risk that turned out all right could give me a good scare, but I wouldn't call that *ir*rational. ˎˊ˗

DOC: ˗ˏˋ Hmm… but, I have always found statues unsettling. Perhaps that counts. ˎˊ˗
