People are put at ease around this native for reasons neither party can identify. The voice is easy, the manner unhurried, the demands few. Artistic feeling is present without study, and the native who paints, plays or writes finds that the atmospheric part comes free while the structural part never arrives at all. Sympathy is issued to whoever is nearest, which is generous and entirely undiscriminating, and it means the native is regularly occupied by the least deserving person in the room.
Because it costs nothing, it is never rationed. Money slides away in small amounts and is not much mourned. Requests are agreed to and then quietly not fulfilled, since refusing outright is unpleasant and vagueness is always available. Household arrangements have a tendency to go unaddressed until someone else addresses them. In love the native is easy to live with and hard to locate, present in the room and slightly out of focus, and partners eventually complain that they cannot get a straight answer about anything.
The gift is real and shows in the arts, in nursing, in ministry, in anyone who has to make an unbearable hour easier to sit through. Since it has never been trained, it cannot be taught and is often not even claimed. What develops it is a form and a deadline: a score, a commission, a ward round, something with edges that the softness must be poured into. Given a container, this becomes one of the finest aspects in the book. Without one, it evaporates.
