This ain't a scene.

That would be like if running were my hobby.

Well what are your hobbies then? And by the way, there’s nothing wrong with someone’s hobby being running.

You should find a hobby. 

Why isn’t building things a hobby?

Well you weren’t always this busy. What do you usually do when you’re not working? And tinkering and strategizing don’t count.

I guess... I don’t know. I train. I build things. That’s kind of it.

Okay, um… Honestly I’m not great at this, either. This is a therapist mandated nap. [She pauses to think.] When was the last time you read a book?

Yesterday. In New Rome. I was studying an old story about the Second Illyrian War. Demetrius and Scerdilaidas really did have a great method in deciding to split their forces to run different invasions.

Do you want me to assign you a leisurely activity?

I know you’re just making fun of me, but yes, you should.

You can do whatever you want.

Exactly. There’s too many options. I like having a schedule.

Not really. And if it isn’t, then I think I’m gonna continue my nap thank you very much.

[He sighs and plops down on the sand next to her, leaning back on his elbows.] I never know what to do on a day off.
