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.

[greatdeduction]

[Backs off slightly just to look at him.]

You do look like you'd benefit from being tossed into a bath of ice, my dear fellow. You're positively melting.

[perfectdistance]

Like I said, City of Rain. Real nice cool weather there.
