[ He gets it because he knows what it's like as a deer. That's the main reason he's so understands it. He's not one to assume someone's capabilities, though. ]

New experiences are good for you, you know. Especially here. Especially with all of the time we're getting.

[ Ah - ]

Make a list of things you want to do.

[mithrarin]

Everything here has been a new experience. That's one reason I started coming to bars in the first place... So far it hasn't been bad.

[Of course, Dust is mindful of his intake; he has no idea what kind of a drunk he is, but expects nothing good from the experience.]

Right now my list consists of "figure out what I want to do", beyond that. And what I should do that I don't particularly want to.

[disasdeer]

I like them. People are always more talkative and willing to share here, so there's a lot of chances to learn about other places here if you listen and talk to enough people.

[ Louis is curious, too. Although, he always is with the people here. Some drunks, in his experience, are talkative. Others are sad, others...well, get angry. Luckily there's less of those in his experience. ]

I have hard to believe there's nothing on your must-do list. I feel like a lot of people have something on the back of their mind that they'd like to do.

[mithrarin]

I led a... very different life. I never had the chance to do anything but fight and solve the problems in Falana, so thinking about other things to do never occurred to me. I don't even know a lot of the possibilities...

[Though the way Dust trails off hints that one thing, at least, is -- well, if not 'something he wants to do', at least worth a second, confused thought.]

[disasdeer]

What, like hobbies?

[ Louis considers that because well, he doesn't actually have many hobbies of his own. He has goals, he has work, and he has things to help him achieve both. He likes theater, but he doesn't actually spend much time on outside things. ]

I thought hobbies were a normal thing.

[mithrarin]

Probably. I'm not normal.

[Jin had little opportunity to relax and enjoy himself, as Falana dealt with war. Cassius... well, his hobbies aren't ones Dust wants to pursue. As for Dust himself...]

I'm still working on the concept of free time to do what I want.

[disasdeer]

I mean, I'd probably be bored if I didn't have something to do.

[ He definitely would be. ]

Do you ever do quests?

[mithrarin]

All the time, but... that's not really a hobby, is it? [More of a lifestyle. Just because Dust had the overarching goal of stopping an army, back in Falana, didn't mean he couldn't take time to find people's laundry or rescue their wayward sheep.]

[disasdeer]

It can me. I guess it is to me because I just do it to do it.

I work here to make money, after all.

[ Well, he does make money from quests and he does shady things sometimes. But that's neither here nor there. ]

Could always knit.

[ Now he pulls your leg. ]

[mithrarin]

[Dust makes a noise that's both amused and skeptical at once.] Right. I'll put that on the list right behind "learning to like staying indoors at night".

[disasdeer]

There's a lot of value in learning an art like knitting. You could make so many people amazing socks.

[ He is joking, and it's fairly obvious in his tone that he is, too. ]

But going outside at night is the best time.

[mithrarin]

You sleep during the day then?

[Being outside is best in all circumstances, at least now that he's given up on indoor living thanks to losing the roommate who was also his friend. Indoors feels so stuffy and claustrophobic.]

[disasdeer]

See, you're already assuming I sleep, which was your first mistake.

[ It's hard to tell if he's joking or not here when he says it. Because it sounds like it could be one. But, it's not. He doesn't sleep much at all, and substituted some of his sleep with caffeine. ]

[mithrarin]

I didn't think that was an uncommon assumption.

[Dust, not sure whether it's a joke or not, chooses to treat it as not one. After all, not sleeping is weird, but so much else is weird around here as well.]

At the very least, you work inside.

[disasdeer]

I do. I'm not much of an outdoor deer. I like cities and the indoors. I'm spoiled.

[ Amused huff. ]

And I supplement my sleep with energy drinks. It works, you know.

[ That's not a lie, and it's pretty clear. ]

[mithrarin]

You mean... coffee, things like that?

[Dust has never heard the term before, so his mind goes to a drink he does know that combats tiredness. The poor, naive fool...]
