I Apologize But I Have Not…?

Maybe this is the year to change that, then!

It would certainly be pleasant to take up another hobby. I also suspect that it would likely be beneficial to be able to grow some of our own medicinal items rather then being weary of any potential shortages. It is certainly an idea to pay some consideration.

How do you feel about being told about the future?

I am… Bewildered? Confused? Possibly even somewhat excited… It is not difficult to imagine a bright future with this all in consideration.

At the same time, it is difficult to imagine that things would change so quickly…

Good morning! Do you have any plans for the day?

Good morning! It is pleasant to hear from you again. I do have some plans, actually. Hastie is presently away on a house visit which has left me to care for the office.

Saturdays tend to be rather quiet so I am just tidying up and then I will likely make another trip out to the markets.

I am hoping to stop by the bakery as well as the fish shops for ingredients as well.

Can you check the slim edges for me? There should be a small button somewhere there! Press that one, please!

… Oh, yes. I have located one. I am pressing it-

… I am unsure of what I was expecting but it was not that. How peculiar…

How are you talking to us if you don't know computers?

OOC Answer: I honestly don’t have any explanation for this one. Jekyll is magical and transmitting his hand writing over to text on a Tumblr blog! /joke /lighthearted

It is! Do you mind sharing some of your other hobbies with us?

I would not mind at all! Alongside my profession and my definite lack a hobby or skillset in gardening, I am also fond of cooking and I play both the violin as well as the piano. Outside of those hobbies, I also enjoy working on my own writings and I occasionally offer to assist with teaching in alchemy at the University of Westminster.

Aw, that sounds very nice.. do you know who's playing that tune?

Ah- Hello again. Yes, that would be the school of music next door. They have a tendency to leave their windows open during lessons — not that I mind in the slightest.

This tune sounds like that of one of the students I’ve heard practicing a couple of times in the last few weeks. They often make mistakes but once they are able to get it correct once, they tend to be able to get it correct each following time.

No, no, I'm very sure it's blorbitis. Maybe you haven't read the latest science magazine where they discuss that yet!

I see; I am unfortunately unfamiliar with that term and I am having difficulty locating it within any of my books. Regardless, I do hope that you are well and that you are able to locate a physician who may be able to aid you with your ailment.

There is no cure, sadly. 😔

That is… Unfortunate to hear. I hope that it is not particularly troublesome for you to endure.

That's a fair conclusion! Let us know if you end up thinking about it a little more!

Of course. I will bring it up with Hastie’s when I see him next week. Until then, I appreciate the thought.
