[ In fairness, she's been surprisingly helpful up until now, she deserves a break too.

But not now, sorry. ]

A calling? How do you mean?

[persistor]

[ Gently closes eyes. ]

... Just knowing that it's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. [ It's a luxury few can afford. She wasn't going to let it go. ] It hasn't been wrong, yet.

[pebblestone]

So you'd consider it something akin to an instinct, or a gut feeling.

[ pepehm ]

And you knew even when you were a child?

[persistor]

Something like that.

When I was older. It wasn't an early calling.

[pebblestone]

Is that what consumes the majority of your time now, or are there other activities you still pursue?

[ Like walking robo-dogs....when is he gonna meet the robo-dog. ]

[persistor]

[ Eventually, hypothetically. That requires me not being dead.

But this time, instead of answering this: ]

If you're asking me on a date, I'm going to have to decline. [ She's teasing. ]

[pebblestone]

[ Never mind, Red's the worst. (Does he even know about Boxer? mysteryghost.png) ]

I assure you, that certainly was not my intent. Even if I did have an interest, I certainly would never do something so cowardly as to ask over a message.

[ Ask ya girl out in person LIKE A MAN. Also, no offense, but Red's not really his type. ]

I simply wished to know what other activities you enjoyed and the reason behind that enjoyment.

[persistor]

[ That's because his type is blue haired lords and Red is neither a lord or blue haired. ]

I'm teasing. [ Look, she's gracious enough to let him off the hook and everything!! Ty for providing one good chuckle though, Fred. ]

Looking for a hobby?

[pebblestone]

[ Cease. ]

I am researching, yes. I'd never had much time for such things before, but circumstances appear to have changed.

[ Also: he made a pinky promise and those are irreversible. ]

[persistor]

[ They sure are. ]

What are your options now?

[pebblestone]

Barring the obvious ones of music and art, not many. Ice skating is no longer viable now that the seasons have changed and I may go mad if I try to spot and classify birds from a far distance.

[persistor]

It might help if you had binoculars. [ Just saying. ]

But I could teach you the guitar, if you were interested.

i thought you said you were going out

[pebblestone]

I won't be expected to sit underneath some woman's window and serenade her all night long, will I?

i am

[persistor]

Do you take me to be so sadistic?

well get out of my inbox then

[pebblestone]

I've learned never to underestimate women.

But I'll take that as a no.

sounds hard

[persistor]

That's a good lesson. :)

What you do with a guitar isn't my business, even if I teach you.

unsures

[pebblestone]

Would you not still be curious? Most teachers maintain an interest their students, even after their apprenticeships are over.

[persistor]

Interest doesn't mean entitlement.

[pebblestone]

I suppose not. But I would be sure to keep you abreast of any developments all the same.

[ It's only fair that a student report back to his teacher. Assuming any of this even gets off the ground, of course. ]

[persistor]

Does that mean you want lessons?

[pebblestone]

Only if you are willing to teach.
I'm sure you have plenty to occupy your time with as it is.

[persistor]

I can make time.

You'll need to supply your own guitar, though. At least after the first few lessons. [ For now, he can use hers. ]

[pebblestone]

Of course. I wouldn't wish to burden you with the task of supplying everything.

[ Although, there's just one problem: ]

Though I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the qualities one should look for in a practice guitar.

[ Practice blades? Easy peasy. Anything else? Unsures deeply. ]

[persistor]

We can worry about that later.

If you decide to stick with it.

[pebblestone]

I'll stay with it for as long as I'm able.

[ TBD on whether that's two weeks or two days after Red gets completely sick of his warbling singing voice. ]
