"Eh, Rhett tried that with teaching me about cars and it didn't work out." she laughs softly. "Tried to get me passionate about something."

Well it certainly wasn't cars. As fun as it was to watch him talk excitedly about them, Jan Di was bored out of her mind.

"I don't think I've ever really had a fire."

"Then we just have to make one."

Still not meant inappropriately, though after a moment he blinked as if realising he could have worded that better.

Jan Di gives a loud snort.

"You're lucky Josh isn't here."

Lucien just looked at her for a moment, then started to laugh despite himself! Ah, fluent in English most of his life yet still the victim of poor phrasing.

If she weren't with Josh, though...

"Oh, he knows I don't mean anything by it."

He also suspected Josh might be afraid of him.

Not from what Jan Di observed at the party.

"You're putting more faith in him than you should. Plus now he's on high alert."

"I'll be careful, then. You both know I'd never disrespect either of you by making a move."

These were his friends, being considerate was only right!

"Hey, be careful because of him. I didn't think you were trying anything." she shrugs.

"I know. I was just saying you don't have to worry."

It would be good to see the drama ended, now, though. Besides, if he wanted a girl he could go out and find one, be it another agent or just dropping in a nightclub that accepts a Paradigm badge in lieu of ID. No need to move on someone else's significant other.

Stupid America and its weirdly high drinking age.

Good to know! Lucien let the silence hang there for a moment, considering poking at his food but unwilling to quite muster the energy.

"Anyway, hobbies! There has to be something out there for you, the world is too big for nothing to be able to light that fire."

"They say I'm too mellow for fires."

She could have said cool but she'd hate herself.

Succumb to the punishment, Jan Di. It was inevitable.

"Not every fire is a blazing inferno. Some are fireplaces, or the lights of candles, or campfires! What have you tried?"

Other than the car thing.

"No guessing, it's true. What's the closest you've ever gotten, you think? To something that really lit you up?"

Was that the right idiom? Well, context would hopefully tell Jan Di what he meant.

"I dunno." she puffs her cheeks in thought, looking up at the ceiling.

"Special occasions don't really count. I get pretty fired up when I play games online but that's just me being an asshole to people."

Being a jerk to people, unfortunately, did not count as a hobby. At least not to Lucien.

"It sounds like you have a competitive spirit waiting to break free! Have you tried any sports?"

"Eh I mean Jack and Absinthe made me do gymnastics when I was a kid and I still do that daily. Not really a hobby though. More like training."

She cringes at the thought.

"Sports are so much work...I'm tired just thinking about it."

"Exercise releases endorphins, which help your mood and give you energy! That could be why you're so tired all the time."

No disrespect meant, Jan Di was cool, but Lucien had always been far more active. Sure, he could sit down and read a book or listen to a symphony, or something, but to laze around as much as Jan Di did would drive him mad.

"What about something creative? Making things? Art, music, cooking, anything like that?"

Anyone who tried to say cooking wasn't art had never seen a true French chef in action!

"I don't fancy myself being really artsy." she says. Though to be fair she never really tried much.

"I guess dance was always kinda cool...never really learned."

"Yeah..."

She hadn't really thought of it.

"I think I'd just have to try a few."

"Good idea! There's studios all over the city, signing up for lessons at a few would be easy."

Making time for those lessons in an agent's busy schedule, possibly less so.

Jan Di nods. She'd just try whatever was available. Saved her from picking.

"You dance?" she smirks.
