Normally, if I have any downtime to speak of, I try to catch up on my reading, if I have any books on the go. I don't know if that would work for you, though.

Hmm...well, I've got to brush up on my knowledge on the Min'to legal system for the written exam I'll be taking as part of my application for the Nakagawan police force. I could always use a study buddy for an afternoon or two to help me study more efficiently and also there would be snacks and tea as well?

I could probably lend you a hand if it's anything like the Sparks Golsaucia PD.

That would be great, Richard! Does this trip you have planned for you and Tyzias take you anywhere near Nakagawa? Because if so I'd be happy to join the two of you for a day. I'm sure there must be something appropriately kitschy around here we could do in the morning, then back to my place for a group study-session?

I was thinking of going through Serge's fishing hutch.

He asks literally everyone to go see his mom and try her cooking. Eventually, I'm going to have to if only for the thought that I've never seen anyone actually take him up on the offer and report back on how it was. It's like a cryptid all itself at this point.

I think Kid's actually been over for dinner at Serge's home at least once. Oh, but that actually reminds me that I wanted to take him up on the offer myself, now that Bahamut's taken care of. I'd be more than happy to give you a detailed report on how it went, Richard!

The fishing hutch sounds good, though. So why don't we make a morning of that, then back to my place for a study session in the laws and ordinances of the Min'to Crown and then dinner on me? Make a real day of it for the three of us.

We're seeing if we can make it four. I'm trying to goad Vimes to come along, but he keeps insisting that if he goes, we're going to wind up becoming embroiled in some criminal conspiracy.

Personally, I don't see the downside.

[bladeofconquest]

Oh, Mister Vimes absolutely should come. I know how hard he works, he definitely needs a break too.

Ha, I suppose not, but I think it's probably pretty unlikely. It's only a few days of sightseeing, what's the worst that could happen?

[defenestraighttomyheart]

Never say that!

[bladeofconquest]

Heehee, sorry Richard. After all the detective shows you introduced me to, I really should know better!

Okay, well, when we're facing down a squad of armed goons you can tell me "I told you so", all right?
