🙋 what do they do for fun? 

Depends. For the most part, he likes relaxing - or doing things HE finds relaxing. Sometimes, this can mean meditating somewhere quiet, especially with people he feels safe around. This is more or less limited to close friends and family. It’s not fun in the sense he gets a thrill from it, but it relaxed him, and he enjoys it. 

He also reads! He’ll go for all sorts of things, but he loves books on history, weaponry, linguistics, and botany best. He also likes holographic star charts, but that’s more to watch than to read.

He draws, too. Usually just loose sketches and doodles in his journal. He likes mostly drawing plants he finds on different planets, and plans for new saber designs or modifications he wants to make. Sometimes, he also draws people, but not often. It’s more likely that he’ll draw loose gestures to remember forms and other movements he wants to practice. 

He also likes making tea blends. He makes them for himself and the people he cares about - the bonus points is enjoying the tea with them after the fact. He’s learned a lot of different tea ceremonies over the years, and they’re fun for him to do from time to time. 

So, yeah, those are the slower-paced things he does for fun, but he also has a lot of energy to burn off (when he’s not at war, of course. That’s pretty draining stuff). 

He likes practising forms/kata. It could be on his own, with a master, his friends, empty hand, weapons, either or. He has fun with it. It’s a good way to meditate and exercise, and there are different ways to challenge himself as he goes. It can be a good social activity, too. You can share different interpretations, different applications, different details you learn; you can play with the timing and metre, choose different parts to focus on, or just chat as you train, if you want to go light with it. It’s a lot of fun. 

He works on his sabers a lot when he has idle hands. It’s a long-standing hobby of his. I’ve mentioned a bit of that somewhere up in the earlier parts of this ask. He’s also more than happy to help other people repair or modify theirs, if they need it. It’s one of the things he’s most interested in. 

He likes swimming in the Temple lake too! Sometimes for training purposes, sometimes just for fun. Sometimes he and his friends will even get in water fights. (Sometimes the masters join in.) Sometimes it’s just to float and relax. Sometimes it’s a way to work out and train. 

He likes spending any kind of time with his friends, but that goes without question. Talking, training, goofing off, relaxing, discussing life… All that fun stuff. His favourites are, of course, his gathering group, since they’ve known each other since they were small, but he’s a pretty social guy. He has friends all over the Order, and even outside of it, too. He’s always glad - unless he’s otherwise occupied - to chat with those he cares about. 

He goes for runs, too! He loves running. He finds it helps him clear his head. Plus, you know, good cardio, good training, all that. Sometimes he’ll do laps just to be alone with his thoughts. Sometimes he’ll run with his friends, but he likes doing his own thinking, too. 

He’ll playfight and wrestle the friends who are comfortable with it. It’s fun. He has his favourites, of course, but it’s also just a way to socialise. 

What else… He actually enjoys doing chores. It might sound boring, but again, he finds it relaxing. He especially likes being able to sort out his room. Cleaning the floors, sorting laundry, hand-pressing robes… Part of it is habit, part of it is practical, but part of it pertains to his mental health. War is chaotic. Having his room clean and the way he likes helps Braig feel a bit of control in a harmless way. It helps. 

He likes cards, though that might not always be his first choice. He’ll play sabaac with the men sometimes. It’s more of a way to kill time for him. 

Oh, and flowers! He loves flowers. He spends time in the gardens, he’ll look for/at flowers when he’s on missions, and his journal is full of pressed flowers. He’s always liked them. He collects them, but he also likes giving them to people he cares about. Certain flowers remind him of certain people. 

He likes telling jokes, too, and teasing his friends when they’re in the mood for it. He also really likes cooking. Cooking alone, cooking with friends, cooking for himself, cooking for others… He just likes it. Plus, once he’s done, if he’s cooking for other people, he gets to share a meal with them. It’s a great chance to socialise. 

He also likes taking walks, especially around the Temple. It’s a way to see the sights and say hi to other people out and about. 

He also likes climbing things. It’s weird, I know, but he has fun being up high. It’s even more prevalent after the Galé mission. After the mission, he also likes falling off of things. It’s a safe kind of adrenaline for him, and it’s a way to practice.
