. . . Did the three of you spar?

[happydreamed]

I left before that part of the evening got underway. I'm not much for sparring as stress relief, myself.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Nods.

He also leaves sparring to Caeli's more energetic parties. ]

So that means now that they are drunken sparring?

[happydreamed]

Tipsy sparring might be more accurate. They both have excellent tolerance, especially now that I've gotten Aliza to take a blood transfusion.

[leaveofabsence]

Tipsy sparring then. As long as they are both enjoying themselves.

[happydreamed]

It helps them relieve stress, so as long as it works for them, I've no complaints.

[leaveofabsence]

Then shall us two old men relieve stress in a way that works for us?

[happydreamed]

I would be delighted to.

[Takes another sip of tea.]

[leaveofabsence]

I know tea is a good start, but what other hobbies do you have, Doctor?

[happydreamed]

Hmm... Well, I enjoy reading. I've patronized Tokyo-F's library many times.

[leaveofabsence]

Are there particular subjects that catch your interest?

[happydreamed]

I've a weakness for trashy romance novels, I must admit.

[leaveofabsence]

Oh? The kind with a happy ending?

[happydreamed]

The best kind.

[leaveofabsence]

Hmmmmm.

[ Sips thoughtfully on his tea. ]

Have you ever been to the theatre here?

[happydreamed]

Not yet. Would you like to go sometime?

[leaveofabsence]

I would. Let us see the most romantic play that Hell has to offer.

[happydreamed]

Would you not rather bring Caeli for such an excursion...?

[leaveofabsence]

His type of theater is dramatic. Which is not to say that he could not enjoy a romantic production. But he would probably prefer one with some form of combat scene.

[happydreamed]

Ah, I see. I don't mind more action-based productions myself, but they sometimes move too quickly for me to keep track of.

[leaveofabsence]

They do move at quite a quick pass.

Besides, perhaps such a play will give me ideas on how I might spoil my partner. It is always good to get new perspectives and see what the youth consider romance in this age.

[happydreamed]

Oh, an excellent idea. I should consider whether Aliza would like anything I see.

[leaveofabsence]

In the last film I watched, there was an item called a---

[ What was it again? ]

"Mix-tape" that seemed to be quite popular.

[happydreamed]

A collection of music, I believe?

[leaveofabsence]

Yes. Of music that reminds you of your lover or experiences that you have shared together.
