[Nero's surprisingly okay in an environment like this. There are still markets in the City of Rain, and he's still fairly used to convincing people to lower down the prices.

When he sees Sholmes he feels compelled to just... lean against him.

Don't make this weird.]

[greatdeduction]

Oh.

[A pause...and then just casually leaning back against him! Hello!!]

How goes your day, my dear fellow?

[perfectdistance]

Pretty good. Checkin' out the food stalls.

Found anythin' you like yet?

[greatdeduction]

Oh, many a thing, Mr. Turner! Why, I had my eye on a stringed instrument earlier...and that boy with his droids! My eyes wander to and fro, certainly.

[perfectdistance]

So you do remember my name.

[ He chuckles to himself. ]

The violins? D'ya play?

[greatdeduction]

Well, sometimes I have to dust things off in my brain-attic, you know.

[And a smile.]

Do I play? It is not unlike asking a fish if he can swim! I do, I do!

[perfectdistance]

Your... what? [Brain-attic?

Sorry, what else did you say?]

[greatdeduction]

My brain-attic, my dear fellow! I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.

[perfectdistance]

... I guess?

[ Pick and choose those dumb battles. This seems too dumb. ]

[greatdeduction]

Mm, indeed! Anyways...! Yes, I play the violin. Do you play any instruments, Mr. Turner?

[perfectdistance]

No. [mhyk do not give me a random bombshell of information.] Know a guy who plays the harpsichord back home.

[greatdeduction]

Harpsichord? My, my. A rather difficult one. Another wizard friend of yours?

[perfectdistance]

Don't call that guy my friend.

[greatdeduction]

Ah, my apologies. Still, a chef, a harpsichord player...you wizards are a talented bunch.

[perfectdistance]

Dunno if it's talent so much as bein' around for a while.

[greatdeduction]

....Well, that's true. If you're around for literal hundreds of years...you can set out to do whatever you seek to do.

Humans don't really have such an opportunity.

[perfectdistance]

Can fit plenty of practice into ten years.

[greatdeduction]

Very true! But that is if the circumstances allow it. Unfortunately, society often stifles passion. One can't make rent on that alone, sometimes.

[perfectdistance]

Unfortunately. Helps if you can profit off of it somehow.

[Or... you can live in a cave.]

[greatdeduction]

Of course. Though in your case, I'm sure you are not wanting for cash.

[perfectdistance]

Restaurant in the City of Rain suits me just fine.

[greatdeduction]

City of Rain...

[He looks around, before leaning his head against the other's, slightly. Do not perceive.]

Sounds like quite the opposite of what we're dealing here.

[perfectdistance]

[ He goes very still. He'll just. Ignore that it's happening. That's safe. ]

There's a desert somewhere in Central, I think. Didn't go visit it.

[greatdeduction]

[A hum.]

Would you have wanted to, if you had the chance?

[perfectdistance]

Nah. This place is already so hot.
