OP what is sometimes refereed to as......'beating around the bush'
In everyday speech, this might become annoying but in literature I like it. It adds to the description and I sometimes marvel at how some people can string words together.
Like in this quotation I found when looking up word animus this morning. (Thanks Luke, for new word).

Animus: ne rien, Candy.
----please, draw me a sheep----
