davem
The time has come to tackle one of my favourite Downers. Surprisingly, davem is remarkably clear to me, despite the subtle mysteries of his mind:
He is the same height as myself, but of slightly lighter build. His hair is brown and somewhat wavy; it might also be touched with a few hints of grey, but these hairs lend him dignity. He is a man who would look good in glasses, but he does not wear any. His arms and fingers are long and graceful. His eyebrows are faintly bushy over intensely focused eyes, which can sometimes become oddly distant as he wanders through the labyrinths of his dreams, even in the waking world. He has a very closely cropped beard.
davem wears brown clothes; not all brown, but many earth tones, with the occasional touch of dark colour thrown in. He dresses surprisingly well, if conservatively. He wears jackets every day.
His face is angular but not jagged, giving him the look of an aesthete, but this initial impression is overborne when he laughs at jokes that others do not find funny for his wit is not common, sharp as it might be. He loves trees and wooded lanes, and will speak to himself audibly when he knows that he is alone. He likes to ride the bus and look at the other people, imagining what they are like when at home.
He smokes a pipe when he reads, and drinks ale rather than lager. He is friendly to strangers, and kind to animals.
