[Snake-Eyes' lair. There's a new rack in the same corner as his ninja equipment. This one's displaying half-a-dozen spike-knuckled trench knives. Their blades, lovingly polished to a scinitillating sheen, gleam in the flickering candlelight ( Read more... )

That is quite the hobby.

[ Can't say much. He collects books, a friend collects guns. But it is interesting. ]

Didn't remember I had one until today.

[A bad thing for a man on the job.]

Do you have any yourself?

[ text ] swordofmiltia August 27 2011, 07:32:26 UTC

You must be a busy man, then.

I have a few. Mostly books -- history in particular. I do have an appreciation for blades, though.

Our Commander sees to that.

[A scholar and a warrior? Barring casual interest in the latter, at least.]

I find that admirable. Not many bother to reach for that kind of balance.

Commander?

[ It helped to grow up in a household where science and tradition battled each other. ]

Really? I don't think I've heard it put quite that way.

Of the Police Force. He is a stern taskmaster. But fair.

[All the more reason, then!]

And why not? One mustn't focus on one aspect of himself to the exclusion of others.

[ text ] swordofmiltia August 27 2011, 20:19:23 UTC

Yes, I see. That's good to hear.

[ Now, if only he could get his sister on the same page. ]

Different ideas, I suppose.

What of you?

[ text ] hebime August 28 2011, 00:05:12 UTC

I strive for it myself, in my own way.

But I won't lie. Some parts of me are easier to focus on. The others tend to bring more trouble than needed.

[Almost an afterthought.]

Especially for others.

[ text ] swordofmiltia August 28 2011, 06:54:22 UTC

I believe that's something we all have. It's an unfortunate part of being human.

[ text ] hebime August 28 2011, 07:08:39 UTC

No truer words.

Maybe I should try balancing books and soldiering, like yourself. The books part sounds a little less hazardous for my neighbors.

[ text ] swordofmiltia August 28 2011, 07:36:31 UTC

I wouldn't object to that. I find losing myself in the stories of others rather relaxing.

[ It's a lot healthier than alcohol. ]

But find what suits you. Books are not for everyone.

I'll give it my best. Figure I'm preconditioned if I can devour military manuals and philosophy.

[ text ] swordofmiltia August 29 2011, 06:09:31 UTC

Philosophy? Really? That is a strange combination.

[ text ] hebime August 29 2011, 13:32:46 UTC

[Really. All lectures tho, not books.]

Let's just say my life took a strange turn somewhere down the line.

[ text ] swordofmiltia August 30 2011, 06:56:21 UTC

Strange indeed, but strange is not always a bad thing.

I'm not sure how readily available military manuals are, but I'm sure you could find plenty on philosophy.
