[flowers: yes. MISSION COMPLETE


wait what.

uh.]

I didnt really think about it much before but i guess i do

[convene]

Fair enough!
I suppose I've never really quite thought about it too hard before.
But I can't help but enjoy it when the cheery blossoms bloom.
I'm starting to think I should take more joy for little things like that.

[convene]

Sorry, I'm rambling a bit aren't I?
Any reason why you wanted to know?

[siriusly]

[siriusly]

No no reason

[siriusly]

What other things DO you like though
That you actually think about

[convene]

Like my hobbies?
I like collecting small knick-knacks -- silly I know.
I also enjoy reading, both in English and in Japanese.
I was an English Literature major before I became an attorney.

[siriusly]

[knick-knacks...broad but workable.

English?? Japanese?? WHAT LANGUAGE IS EVEN HAPPENING IN TRENCH WHO KNOWS.

books though...]

What kind of books

[convene]

Mostly fiction.
I enjoyed H.G Well's Time Machine and Oscar Wilde's The Portrait of Dorian Grey.
I'm also a fan of Higuchi Ichiyou's short stories.
Before he left London, Natsume-san was writing something, so I look forward to reading that whenever he publishes it.

[siriusly]

Who is Natsume san

[convene]

Soseki Natsume.
He was an English Literature student studying in London.
I actually had to defend him in two separate trials where he was accused of attempted murder.
He really had some bad luck in England...
He decided he wanted to be a writer and went back to Japan to do so.

[siriusly]

So hes something of a friend of yours?
Or at least an acquaintance if you saved him

[convene]

I think he could consider me a friend.
After going through two trials together I learned a lot about him.
And I hope he could rely on me to help him out if he needed it again.
At worst he is a very well known acquaintance.

[siriusly]

[with all respects to Natsume-san, rude-blooded Manabu hopes he doesn't show up here. more attention competition.

...

that's not nice to think. stop that.]

So nick knacks and books right?

[convene]

Yes.
I'm a little boring.
What sort of hobbies do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

[siriusly]

Thats not boring!

[he just. would be...bored trying to read...is all................]


I dont really have hobbies so youre a step ahead of me

[convene]

You must enjoy doing something.
Are you sure you don't have any hobbies?


[It could be anything! Anything at all.]

[siriusly]

Im usually too busy working or training to do hobby stuff

[convene]

I mean, I know the feeling.
But, you should take time to relax once in a while.
Do you do anything on your down time here?

[siriusly]

If i dont have anything to do i will ask around for any pickup jobs

[HE HAS. NO LIFE.]

[convene]

You should find a way to relax!
I mean, even I had downtime.
What would you like to do if you had free time?

[siriusly]

Im not really sure
This kind of counts doesnt it?? since im not working

[convene]

Talking to me is what you'd do in your free time?

[He's really glad video isn't on right now, because he might just be blushing a little bit.]

We should find a hobby that you can enjoy without feeling like you're not doing anything.
I don't see you being a reader.

[siriusly]

I kind of fall asleep trying to read too long....

[convene]

Maybe we can find something active for you to enjoy.
Like a sport of some kind, or something that uses your focus on detail work.
