[kobes]

If we had a choice, would you?

[leavening]

[That is...nosy. But if Koby cares about Hao, Hyunsu can't really blame him for asking. It's kind of complicated, though.]

what do you mean by "like?"

[kobes]

I mean "not hate"? "Enjoy being around", maybe?

[leavening]

i don't hate him.

how much i enjoy being around him depends on how he's acting.

[kobes]

It's the same with me. He can be very nice, when he wants to be. And then suddenly, he can be not so nice.

It's a little hard to keep up with.

[holyposition]

Have you tried puzzles? The arcade? Sports? Come on, there’s plenty if you’re looking for it.

It's football season, you could be a kicker.

[holyposition]

I would. If I could remember. I could do a lot with everything I’ve learned here.

If I couldn’t remember, then I don’t know.

[kobes]

I've heard about the arcade. It sounds noisy. Have you been?

Tim, you're trying to make me feel better and being very sweet, and I appreciate it, but I don't even know which sport football is. The black and white one or the one with sticks?

[kobes]

That's completely fair, yeah. Plus if you and Hawk both remember then
Maybe things could be different.

[holyposition]

Not yet. But it's games, right? We could go, if you want.

It's the brown oval ball with pointed ends. It's not popular in England, they've got a different football.

[holyposition]

Maybe. I'd still have to go into the military, though. Too late to back out.

[leavening]

yeah, that sounds about right.

[kobes]

I think so. I might be bad at it, but if you'd want to go, I'd be game.
Heh.
"Game".

Right, thank you. I think England should just have the same games as the rest of the world, actually.

[kobes]

It's not so bad. They'd be lucky to have you.

[holyposition]

I'm not sure it's the right thing anymore.

[kobes]

I'm starting to think there IS no one right thing to do. Just a lot of half-right options.

[holyposition]

You get better with practice, it'll be fun. And I'm ignoring that.

America's the odd one out here, actually. But our version is better.

[holyposition]

There have to be some things that are objectively right. But I don't think the military is. I don't think staying where I was would be, either.

Things are so different back there. But his perspective's been changed. I don't know. There's too much not knowing.

[kobes]

You don't? How come? For both, I mean.

I know. It makes my head spin if I focus on it too long. If Hawk remembers, I don't see how he could stay away from you, though.

[kobes]

That was FUNNY, hey!
But okay. If you'll explain the rules again, I'll try my best. I was going to try to get better at chess too, though that's less physical.

Or see if ice fishing is the same as deep-sea fishing. I was good at that, before.

[holyposition]

I've read the history books. The war's not as righteous as it seems. But if I couldn't stay in Washington if Hawk gets married.

I like to think he wouldn't. That he's learned enough.

[holyposition]

I don't think it gets cold enough for ice fishing.

[kobes]

Doesn't it snow here? Isn't that cold enough?

I've only seen one winter, in the village, and it was SO cold.

[holyposition]

Just having snow doesn't mean the lake will freeze over. It's got to be much colder for that.

[kobes]

Ah. Yeah. That seems to be a trend.
Is he planning on that?

You could ask. If you wanted.
