Well what are your hobbies then? And by the way, there’s nothing wrong with someone’s hobby being running.

I don’t really have any. I’ve also been told to pick some up. Just passing some good advice along. [She shrugs.] A hobby can’t be your job. Although running isn’t really a requirement anymore, it’s not like I’m in track.

[armedwithaurum]

Maybe we need to make a pact then. Actually pick up something and hope it sticks. [He furrows his brow.] I have no idea what I would find enjoyable that I don’t already do though.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

That would be like if running were my hobby.

Well what are your hobbies then? And by the way, there’s nothing wrong with someone’s hobby being running.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

You should find a hobby. 

Why isn’t building things a hobby?

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

Well you weren’t always this busy. What do you usually do when you’re not working? And tinkering and strategizing don’t count.

I guess... I don’t know. I train. I build things. That’s kind of it.

fionafinley‌:

As fascinating as that sounds I’m not sure it counts as a relaxing read.

Relaxed reading doesn’t sound very interesting to me.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

Okay, um… Honestly I’m not great at this, either. This is a therapist mandated nap. [She pauses to think.] When was the last time you read a book?

Yesterday. In New Rome. I was studying an old story about the Second Illyrian War. Demetrius and Scerdilaidas really did have a great method in deciding to split their forces to run different invasions.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

Do you want me to assign you a leisurely activity?

I know you’re just making fun of me, but yes, you should.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

You can do whatever you want.

Exactly. There’s too many options. I like having a schedule.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley‌:

Not really. And if it isn’t, then I think I’m gonna continue my nap thank you very much.

[He sighs and plops down on the sand next to her, leaning back on his elbows.] I never know what to do on a day off.

[fionafinley]

armedwithaurum‌:

Listen, I know the eternal sunshine of the Greek camp is nice and all, but you can’t stay here all day.

Is that an order?

[armedwithaurum]

Did it sound like one?

[fionafinley]

Shh. I’m napping.

[armedwithaurum]

Listen, I know the eternal sunshine of the Greek camp is nice and all, but you can’t stay here all day.

[armedwithaurum]

Hey, hey, don’t touch that.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley:

Oh. Well, good for her. Um, how do you feel about all that?

I... I don’t know, honestly. That’s why I feel so weird about all of it. I don’t even know why I kissed her. I guess it was a goodbye but that sounds pretty lame to me.

[armedwithaurum]

Hey, hey, don’t touch that.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley:

…. Okay. Um, so, are you two…?

No, no, gods, no-- It was a spur of the moment thing. She’s leaving. Left. She’s moved on from Camp and everything.

[armedwithaurum]

Hey, hey, don’t touch that.

[fionafinley]

armedwithaurum:

The recognition feels amazing.

…Hey, can I talk to you about something personal?

Um, yeah. Sure.

[armedwithaurum]

So, I, uh... I kissed Laurel the other day.

[armedwithaurum]

Hey, hey, don’t touch that.

[fionafinley]

armedwithaurum:

That you do. Once I’m done in these forges, the Legion will have plenty of weapons for the next few years though.

The Legion thanks you for your hard work.

[armedwithaurum]

The recognition feels amazing.

...Hey, can I talk to you about something personal?

[armedwithaurum]

Hey, hey, don’t touch that.

[armedwithaurum]

fionafinley:

I’m halfway there, that second part I’ve got down pat. 

That you do. Once I’m done in these forges, the Legion will have plenty of weapons for the next few years though.

[winninglaurel]

I think...it’s time...

[armedwithaurum]

owlabeth:

For now.

Bye, Robot.

See you, Xena.
