[ She said it right! Though he looks a bit confused at her question. ] What else am I going to occupy my time with? Unless you count ViViD and just... doing stuff like this with people?

[Well, she would have said what are you up to but that sounded too much as if she were accusing him of mischievous things.]

I don't know, really.

Back home, I would spent most of my days doing chores. It was often just me, given Sister Bikini's back, so that could sometimes take me from sunrise until long after sunset. So being here...I suppose I don't always know what to do with myself when I'm not working, either.

[In other words, listening for some ideas, perhaps?]

[ What if he's been up to mischievous things? :9

But no, seriously, he gives her a smile for that. ]

I know what you mean. At home I'd be doing chores for Arthur or Gaius and never have any time to myself. I'm probably getting a bit lazy, actually.

[She's the kind of person who's always willing to give the benefit of the doubt first. c: ]

I might be as well. [She didn't really think that, of course, as evident by the small giggle that escaped her lips at the thought.] At this rate, I'm even going to forget how to drive.

[Because, oh by the way, that was something else she knew how to do. ~~Well, with regards to a snowmobile.~~]

[ What a lovely lady. ]

Is it even a bad thing if we are? [ To be honest he could do with putting on a bit of weight from being underworked and eating more, but that's... something else. Though ?? ]

Can't you get a ... uh. [ Car? Motorbike??? ] Bus? [ Well it's one of those that are for individuals, right? ]

[Could you just imagine Iris on a motorbike?]

[...]

[~~...because that would be kind of awesome, actually.~~]

If you're referring to here, in the city, then I've mostly been walking everywhere. [No carpools for her, apparently.] Some of the places are quite far, so I've made sure to allow for the time to travel. Though I don't mind so much. It gives me time to think in the mornings and late afternoons.

Back home, though, buses weren't an option, so...no, I wouldn't have been able to take one unless I was already at the bottom of the mountain.

[ She'd be badass... don't deny it.

Though what she tells him he somewhat remembers from before, but he was trying to pinpoint what she meant by her licence. Oops. ]

You don't use the trains?

Not often, no.

I think the last time I rode on one had to be...close to five years ago. Perhaps longer.

...But they're so useful.

[ Guess who is a fan of the trains for his lazy butt. ]

I suppose they can be, yes.

I just haven't had to travel anywhere in the city yet that I couldn't approach through a different method. That's all. Maybe, one of these days, I will take the train.

I suppose if you only took one job... you don't have to rush between different places.

[ Makes sense, really. ]

It sounds a lot more relaxing.

Perhaps you and Athena should both consider the idea.

I know you said you get to work together in at least one of your jobs, but...if all you're doing is work, then I can imagine how difficult it must be to be able to really spend time together.

Well I kind of... work a normal amount of hours but it isn't for the money. For me, I mean. When you work with people you get to learn about them. Everyone here has so many different experiences, it's kind of... nice?

But we find time. [ Now he just looks sheepish. ] Though she did fall asleep while we were together once.

[Now, some people might interpret while we were together as something...different. ~~Unless they were actually correct in their assumption.~~ Iris, on the other hand...]

What were you two doing that made her fall asleep like that?

[ Well at least she isn't the type to think of that but ??? ]

We went to the cinema. ...We probably should have just stayed in though.

Was it really that giant a leap, though?]

Was she able to at least make it home alright?

[ ????? What kind of gross man do you take him for to tell gentle young women about things?????? ]

Of course I made sure she got home safely.

Oh, good. I'm glad.

She's very lucky to have someone like you looking out for her.

[ He actually flusters slightly at that, reaching up to scratch behind his ear. ]

That wasn't the point I was trying to make though.

Perhaps not, but that doesn't make it any less true.

[Accept the compliment, Merlin.]

There are some who can go an entire lifetime without finding someone like that.

If you put it like that, I hope Feenie does that for you as well.

[ Eyebrows raise... he better, or he's going to find himself tripping over odd vines that weren't there minutes before!!! ]

[Her brows rose slightly at the name, surprised, before she gave a soft giggle.]

I didn't know anyone besides me called him that.

Well I don't, but it's what you call him.

...And you aren't answering the question.

[Iris, of course, then assumed he was just teasing her for the nickname.]

That doesn't mean you have to. Everyone else I talk to either calls him Phoenix or Mr. Wright. Oh, except for Mystic Maya--she calls him "Nick" for some reason.

[And as for his question:]

He's more than taken care of me. In a way, I owe him my life.

[ More like teasing Phoenix for her using it... ]

Well I call him Mr. Wright to his face. [ Though ... he isn't sure he wants to go with this topic when she says she potentially owes him her life. ]

...What happened?
