Murdoch's sitting on a bench with a portable table in front of him. On top of the table is a deck of playing cards, as he plays blackjack with himself!

A large camera flash goes off to Murdoch's side, probably momentarily blinding him before Enya pipes up.

"Are you winning?"

Murdoch looks up toward the source of the flash!

"Ahh, you stunned me!"

He rubs his eyes, a small blue dot following his vision!

"Hard to win when you're playing both sides."

"Heheh!"

She takes a seat next to him, staring at the cards.

"Really? Or is it hard to lose?"

Deep questions. She's never played blackjack.

"It's hard to lose if you're the dealer, since you're experienced at the game, you know how many decks there are, and they're usually efficient at counting cards. That's what I'm trying to do right now."

He plays a hand for himself, and for the dealer.

"Got the idea from a conversation with Eric. Figured I could get good at these type of things and make some easy money."

"Isn't there an old movie about that?" Enya tilts her head.

"Counting cards is cheating, right?"

"Uhh, maybe? And nah, it's totally fair and legal. The only reason Casino's don't like it is because they lose money, and they're technically within their rights to kick you out at any time."

He's been studying.

"So I want to get good and hit them hard before they notice, you know?"

"That sounds like a lot of fun, actually!" Enya grins!

"What do you need all that dough for?"

"Nothing!" He grins, playing through a couple rounds during their conversation.

Murdoch keeps track of what gets played on both sides, and counts the card based on what he, as a player would know.

"I don't know, I think it'd just be cool to have some savings, maybe go on a nice trip somewhere, but some nice things. I'm a little materialistic at times."

"Nothing wrong with getting what you want once in a while!" she nods, swinging her legs.

"Well then, tell me about this dream vacation! Would you go alone? Where WOULD you go?"

He shrugs. I guess it depends on how much money I have, but a DREAM vacation..."

"I'd would've liked to travel through Europe, but the Empire is making that a bit difficult. Maybe further east, like Japan? That'd be amazing! And I'd probably take a bunch of people if I could."

A sheepish grin forms.

"Why? You interested on going with me?"

"Of course I am!" she giggles.

"I wouldn't need to research or prepare anything, you'd be all over it, right? Learn the language, figure out the best places..." she gives him a wink.

"Besides, we have fun together, right?"

"I'd probably get you to put some effort in! But yeah we do. I mean, we have so far."

It wasn't a particularly deep friendship, but it was a friendship nonetheless.

"What have you been up to lately? I've heard some interesting stories."

"Tell me what stories you've heard and I'll fill in the blanks!"

One day I'll post on the right account.

"Well in my own words, you've got two guys wrapped around your finger and they were having a spat about it." He chides, elbowing her in the side.

"Very impressive."

"Oh thaaaaat." she laughs, leaning away from the elbows.

"Mm. I suppose so. I've been having fun dating when I can! I wanted to try with more people but then I got busy. You know how things have been with Boost. And then there was the whole anti-meta ralliiiies aaaand..."

Hm. That was about it. Two anti meta rallies with two different targets.

"It's been keeping me pretty busy. Heheh, in one of the rallies my team let the murderer go. It wasn't too impressive."

"Playing the field, nice! You're such a heart-breaker!" He flashes a thumbs up.

"I know the feel with CLAW and what not. All my free times been going into improving my abilities as an agent, so deep social interaction hasn't really been up there."

Enya gives an appreciative smile to his praise!

"You think you'd change that if you could? I haven't heard of the great Muds chasing after any lady. Or man, I suppose!"

He immediately looks like he's lost interest in the conversation!

"I had this conversation with Eric a couple days ago, actually. I'm not really looking, I guess. He mentioned someone that was 'my type', but I looked into it and she's your age."

He sighs

"Honestly I'm fine with how things are going currently. Being an agent is what I'm most interested in."

"It just feels like what I want to do isn't good enough to other people. Like when I talked to Eric; he made it seem like it was unreasonable to not be looking for love and only focusing on the job. Like I was missing out on a key aspect of my life."

He keeps playing!

"With my power, I remember every experience I ever come across. My life feels so long, like I have plenty of time to do whatever I want. Isn't it fine to not worry about girls right now? Or is that weird?"

"I don't think it's weird." she shakes her head.

"I only asked since you brought it up for me, Murdoch. But if that's not something you care about right now then who cares if you're not finding someone to be with! It's supposed to be fun, not necessary!"

She starts watching the cards, mostly just so she's not staring at him. She noticed people don't always make eye-contact when talking about this stuff.

"Everyone's getting caught up with meeting other people like themselves. I think it's hard not to want to connect on a deeper level, you know? But some people crave it more than others..."

He smiles.

"You're right, and I do like meeting people. And it's not like I haven't thought about it. Having a girlfriend would be nice! I just don't think I have the time to invest in something like that right now."

He nods, convincing himself.

"It's nice that you understand where I'm coming from, though."

He stays with a twenty while the dealer busts!

"Of course!" Trying to understand people is practically all she does.

"Besides if you don't have time to invest in it, it probably wouldn't work out very long."

She looks like she's finally understanding the card game more, looking impressed when he wins!

"Heheh, are you starting to get the counting thing down?"

"Yeah, the concept is really easy, and it's just a memory game, so I pretty much have it down pat. Want me to show you how?"
