It's a little like the arcade. [But it's not like this place has games. Which immediately makes it much less likely to be a place to find one of her friends.]
I think it's for rolling around on the rink over there. Want to give it a try?

Just holding everything together these past few months has taken everything that you have—managing the Roundtable and their petty squabbles, devising strategies and tactics against incoming attacks, and ensuring towns are properly prepared for a sudden halt in trade.

[ He looks curious... ]
no subject
[It's good to try new things, when given a chance.]

[ He will pull on a pair of skates then. ]
It'd be great without all the murder.
no subject
[I'm so tired of deaths.
She pulls on the skates, using a wall for balance.]
no subject
[ He'll also wobble a little as he steps into the rink... Taking some baby steps. ]
It is really fascinating to me how exercise has become a recreational activity.
no subject
What were your usual recreational activities? If exercise wasn't one of them.
no subject
Recreation...? I guess reading poetry. Or napping.
no subject
I like to take walks when I have the time.
[She'll start gliding forward, getting used to the balance on these.]

You have trouble sleeping?
no subject
I don't have trouble, I only need to rest for a little while to get my energy back.
[ Inconvenient if weapons needed a full 8 hours, you see. ]
no subject
Sometimes I get so tired I fall asleep in the middle of reading a book and find myself waking it to the spine jammed into my face.
no subject
Are you bad at taking care of yourself, Claude?
no subject
I don't think so. I'm smart enough to know I can't work without sleep.
It just doesn't always come easily. Or conveniently.
no subject
[ Somebody close to her sure does stay awake for 20 hours a time. And drives. ]

How are you going to ensure you make it through whatever comes next? ]
no subject
Sorry.
[ Because it's rude to watch a piece of somebody's life being dragged up against their will. ]
But... I think all of life is like that. You can only move forward.
no subject
[ He is a deeply private person, but he's also a little numb to this. ]
You're right. I've always kept my vision focused on the future. [ ... ] But sometimes it's hard to keep the present from falling apart.
no subject
[ Even if you plan for one thing, somebody else might show up and disrupt those plans. ]
no subject
But it's of little solace when you're responsible for people's lives.

Does it make you think of a friend of yours?
