[oh, is it the thirty-first already? the feed clicks and it looks like john is somewhere having himself a drink.]

You know, can't say I really expected to be spending a birthday here. It happens with war, obviously this time we didn't exactly all volunteer.

[sigh, oh well, he rubs at his neck a little]

So, anyone care to join me for a pint? Or company, I don't mind, I could use some talk that isn't about all of.. well, this.

[ slight gesture to around. he doesn't know what to comment on the people going to their world for resources. feel free to action it up. ]

I wonder if there's any chance at fishing here. [the sea is probably a bit ways off though]

There's hardly any time to enjoy yourself here, not with the thought of war always around the corner.

No fish in the sea. [ there's a touch of wistfulness to it. ]

It is a problem. If there were some sort of regular schedule, you could get more used to the idea. Know when you were able to relax and when you needed to get ready.

A shame then.

[nods] I think the same. A schedule would keep things organized, instead we're left in the dark without knowing at what time we'll be forced to go fighting. It puts more weight than what's needed on someone.

Quite.

[ a moody stare at her glass for a moment, and then, almost cautiously. ]

So do you have hobbies?

Not really. ..Typing something on my blog now and again sorta became a hobby though, in a way.

[he is so boring wow]

On your blog? What about?

It was originally to help me after the war, but after meeting .. Sherlock, only then did I find something to write about. Which was just the cases we worked on.

That sounds interesting.

I wasn't aware you were a veteran?

I am, I got shot in my shoulder while at war.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have brought it up.

No no, it's fine. I've gotten use to it by now.

[he shows a reassuring smile to her]

That's - good.

[ an awkward beat. ]

What are you doing with your free time here, then?

Other than training? Trying to make sense of this still too.

And how is that going?

I've gone through the accepting stage if that's what you mean.

Ah.

Well, you know what they say about grief.

[he definitely does. it was like that with.. sherlock.]

It's hard to get to the accepting stage, but it's easier once you do.

That's what everyone says.

I was starting to think they were right, before here.

That makes two of us.

Don't we make a pair.

[;lkjhgfdfgh]

You think so?

Yes.

But you're a good person.

[sorta puzzled by that--]

You're a good person too.

[ beat. visibly uncomfortable for a moment. ]

Sometimes.

You've been a good person here.

[he does his best to encourage the idea, because while things may happen in the past that may not make it seem that way- actions now help form the opinion.]
