Well. It ah. Seems I'll have some time on my hands until I get some repairs finished. Fortunately I'm still mobile via my holomatter avatar so any students who I am tutoring should have no break in schedule and everything else is business as usual...

I do have a question however.

I'm just wondering, what is it that humans and other organics do for fun? Or at least to occupy your time?

Of course, but how many do you think realize even that or wish to go beyond what their roots dictate to follow?

I know many try.

Do they succeed?

Sometimes.

Tch. You make for "inspired" conversation on the success stories of the underdog. That said, people find whatever is considered "fun" for themeselves to be within their reach.

Well... well- do you know what it's like to be the under the dog? I think not!

[ He tries. Look at him try to do this human turn-of-phrase thing. ]

Mmm?

[ That actually gets her to laugh. ]

Do you think my views so limited on that matter? I know what it is like to be thought of as insignificant, weak, and small. And in both lifetimes, I have proved far beyond the expectations of others! I may extend sympathies to those who cannot make it, but I have nothing but contempt for those do not wish to strive for more than they are.

Well. Forgive me then. My mistake. It's somewhat of a touchy subject for me.

Truly? Were you one without power before?

I was. The worst of the worst.

Though I cannot take credit for my changes alone. Sometime all someone needs is just a little push in the right direction.

Mmm, now that is one for inspiration! Tell me, then, what it is you do with your changed self?

Well I... I try to help people. Protect people. What else is there?

A noble ambition, but is that all?

Well, I mean I've done a lot of things since. I can't say all my choices have been good, but they've been... better. Better than before.

It's still a work in progress even after all this time.

Hah! And is that not the inevitable truth of life? Do what you consider fun, regardless of the thoughts of others. As long as you are true to who you are and what you have become, there can be no fault.

True... unless your true fun comes from hurting others, I guess.

Hmph. Don't suggest something so craven. Though I do enjoy a good dance or two, it is the duty, beauty, and chivalry that draws my blade against others. Mindless bloodlust is left to animals.

I was speaking in a figurative sense. I know the type that kills for fun and you are not it.

You use a bladed weapon? A sword?

As befitting someone of my esteemed skill should wield. I fancy a good chariot ride from time to time, but that is hardly possible within this island.

Well, glad to see someone still thinks highly of it. I was beginning to feel like the only one who hadn't abandoned his blade.

Chariot? You mean like the vehicle? Not really I mean... hah. I could probably oblige that.

Hmm? What do you mean? Do you have one with you?

Kind of. I have one all the time.
