Steph's in the Bar again, sprawled across a couch, reading.

It's a book on Arthurian History, and her eyes are a little glazed, but she's determined to get through it.

Don't ask why.

"I like reading. And that isnt a bad book, if a little dry."

He smiles faintly again.

"Possible cures. They usually dont work, but it doesnt stop me from trying."

He eyes her.

"Maybe. We shall see. For now, I will be satisfied to not hurt anyone else around while trying to cure myself."

"I have tried a number of times. Every time, the end result has been less than a good thing. But, I am not giving up. I will keep trying."

"What are you up to?"

Of course he doesnt tell her he is going to expirament on himself to try to cure himself sometime soon. He does have some sense of tact.

He nods.

"I hope everything stays good with you. This place seems to breed doom."

[identity profile] conflictedhero.livejournal.com 2006-05-23 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
He nods, a little wry himself.

"Well, hopefully it will hold off for awhile."

He grins.

"I would like a little time to just be quiet and peaceful."

He eyes her.

"Very true... but I wish you did not have to have learned such so young."

[identity profile] conflictedhero.livejournal.com 2006-05-23 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
He nods.

"Sorry. Why were you reading that book anyway?"

[identity profile] conflictedhero.livejournal.com 2006-05-23 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Why?"

"Sey yourself a goal, perhaps? This might make it less boring."

[identity profile] conflictedhero.livejournal.com 2006-05-23 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
He nods.

"Good. What have you learned so far?"

[identity profile] conflictedhero.livejournal.com 2006-05-23 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
He blinks, and facepalms.

"Ah."

He sighs.

"If you want to understand it, you might need to concentrate more."

"Grounding? And if you need help, I...."

He considers, and nods.

"I could assist you."
