I like fish. I keep a few as pets here.

[This is not the equally lost girl he once knew; this is the grown woman, albeit young woman: nineteen.]

It's exciting to see the school starting again, even if I won't be attending classes any longer either.

But. They're fish. They don't exactly do anything.

It's interesting that it continues to be something stable. Professor Sage seems to have a good grasp on her material, at least.

They swim, and feed, and mate, and even fight if you aren't careful about which you put together in the tank.

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 21 2011, 04:18:19 UTC

My point is that there isn't much that makes them stand out overall. All animals feed and mate and fight, and a good portion of them swim.

[She doesn't seem offended.]

I suppose not everyone enjoys them. I find it soothing to watch them.

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 21 2011, 14:52:39 UTC

Because they're relatively useless for anything else? I suppose. I've never been a fan. [Not entirely true. His first summer here was spent playing with fish in the lake.]

Maybe it's the water. They say water is something we long for when we're stressed.

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 22 2011, 04:44:18 UTC

I don't know about you, but I long for other things instead. Water's water.

What is it that helps you relax, then?

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 22 2011, 05:45:54 UTC

It changes, really. There's nothing in particular since it shifts with my moods. [And nothing he's willing to share right off the bat, of course.]

[Voice] no_use_running September 22 2011, 05:54:54 UTC

Of course there's not just one thing. Swimming helps me to relax, too. Also, chess.

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 22 2011, 06:27:42 UTC

Why chess? [Draco's played chess before, but he's not exactly what you'd call a big fan.]

[Voice] no_use_running September 22 2011, 06:33:22 UTC

It's because while I focus my mind on my strategy, I can think clearly about other things, too. My mind unwinds itself.

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 22 2011, 06:41:07 UTC

I see. I've never been one for chess. Boring to play, though interesting to watch if only because it's a barbaric game.

Re: [Voice] no_use_running September 22 2011, 06:53:42 UTC

Do you mean because of its origins as war strategy?

[Voice] hisdarkmark September 22 2011, 07:31:13 UTC

Not exactly. More like because of the fact that Wizard's chess is really kind of gruesome to watch. The pieces don't always play nice. More often than not they shatter one another.
