shadow and bone

Plus, life is all about learning and growing and seeing what shakes out as we go along. Although I do agree with you about asking for help, it can feel impossible sometimes, especially when pride gets in the way, right? God, no. But it’s going to happen, given how much technology has been advancing and changing every single day, right in front of our eyes. I even unpacked my bags already. But to be fair, it wasn’t too tough.

No, definitely not, life isn’t about having everything together, I think it’s more about doing the most that you can do with what you have. No one’s perfect, if anyone claims to be, they’re either lying or made of metal and computer chips. That’s true, too. I did manage to get mostly packed up last night! So this morning was relaxing, now I just can’t wait to land.

I’m an old man, it was bound to happen once, twice, a dozen times, but don’t worry – if you have a good head on your shoulders and good people around you, it’s easier to survive. That’s how I felt, too. And I think that we still had some fun there! We were still on the water and putting in a little bit of effort, too, right? Plus, the scenery was nice.

Well, I like the awkward and charming combo. Me? Charming? I just say everything that comes out of my mouth, and say it confidently. That’s the smart move there, glad you had the suggestion so we didn’t fall over from dehydration.

And then it’s too late to do much about it, you just have to hope that you can pick yourself up afterwards. I’ve had burn out hit a few times when working on projects or what not, but heading out on a trip after or just taking an extended break can definitely help a lot. How did you do, did you end up having fun today? Did you do the rapids, or take it a little easier on the river?

Burn out is an awful feeling as it is, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone because they felt they had done a little bit too much. I’m glad to hear it! And I’m looking forward to it. Not so much you getting drowned, potentially, but just having fun with everyone for one more day out on the water, I think that should be a good time. We’ll see how it turns out!

Like to think I’m pretty funny, some might tell you I only think I’m funny! To each their own! I have fun, that’s all that matters in the end. Tell me about it, I’m the Queen of weird faces, so you’re not alone. Just saying I can only control the dragons so much, didn’t you watch Game of Thrones? You’d know this even as the Mother of Dragons they get sassy when people piss them off.  Because if you do, you’re on  your own bud. Every man and woman for themselves! 

I’m someone who is known to be a bit more of a laugher, joker, whatever it is, and that’s gotten me into some trouble. Sometimes I can’t help it, nervous laughter is also a thing. There was plenty of times that happened on Game of Thrones. We say all the time it makes sense they kept Kit and I apart for so many years on the show because we couldn’t take things serious without starting to laugh and annoy the film crew! Look dragon eggs weren’t slimey in Game of Thrones so just imagine they won’t be. Those who are nice to the future dragons get to be friends with them, those who don’t well… was nice knowing ya Freddy! 

At least you’ve figured it out at this point, so you know exactly what to expect when you’re out on these vacations, right? You’re right about that, though, I have a feeling everyone will be taking it easy for the next little while, wanting to recuperate a bit. Absolutely, and now at least we have the river adventure left and coming up pretty soon, too!

Awkward? I don’t think you’re awkward at all, you’re a very charming young man. How about we take that hike, grab a coffee either before or after, and enjoy the scenery.

You didn’t burn down the whole place but you kicked my butt at karting so I’m gonna consider I was right about you two! Not yet. I haven’t yet, which I guess is a bummer, given that we’ve been here for a week. Have you?

Exactly, there’s nothing worse than coming back from vacation and having to jump right into real life, no pause in between at all. So I hope for your sake, you’re either very relaxed or you don’t have much going on after. I’ll probably take a few days to be lazy, as well, I feel like it’s earned at this point. It was fun! A bit scary, but also really fun, and you feel safer with the guides there to watch you, right?

You know what motivates people the most? Revenge and wanting to do that much better the next time. They’ll definitely have another chance! I am, it’s definitely been nice to be able to relax. What about you? See any spiders around?

Sometimes it can be fun, don’t get me wrong. I’m the type that needs that good mix of doing things and also relaxing, but if it’s too much relaxing, I get restless, and too much action, and I just want to sleep for a week. So this has been perfect, aye? I felt the same way, it was nice because we didn’t have to worry about anyone not being able to handle the trails, but the sights were absolutely what made it extra special!

I’ve been on trips like that before. Thankfully, not here in town, but where you just end up so busy that you head back home and realize that you didn’t get to rest at all. And I don’t think that any of us would want to deal with that, right? Especially if you end up laying there and having the blankets fall down on top of you, that would defeat the whole purpose, aye? Did you enjoy the hike? I thought it was quite nice!

It is, but it’s something that if you know it’s something you do or struggle with only you can make the steps to working on it. Everyone has those troubles, letting things go, but it takes some working on it. Know therapy was always a good way in figuring out how to let go of things. Sure, can manage to grab a drink tonight. Let me know when. 

We all go through that! That’s all part of being an actor, sometimes we’re on our game and we’re amazing. Other times we’re struggling a little bit and we have to grind our way through it. Don’t worry once I have a little time in there, make myself at home in the MCU I’ll start slipping little slips of paper into the directors with your name. Why not? Who wouldn’t want to have a dragon lair in their flat?!
