I... am not, no. Merely that your pool of acquaintances is still much larger than my own...

[A-ANYWAY.............]

If I am able to make one, I don't see why I couldn't manage to make many. He'll get his own, don't worry.

I am. And I do have a penchant for board games, you know.

[Even if when they were kids their play was the more rough and tumble sort... Partially because playing chess against any of the four of them - Glenn included - was no fun until he started making up strategies on how to lose without letting it look like it was on purpose.]

I am aware. Surely there must be more, even if it seems trite or silly to you.

I see. [He doesn't see.]

Board games, huh? I do remember a chess set rather prominently situated in your estate. I'm glad you were able to continue playing. I'd offer a match, but I'm sure I'd be no contest.

I sometimes think of learning needlework, or floral arrangement, but... for me to do those things would be considered trite. And with my strength, they're foolish endeavors. They have no place being called hobbies of mine.

Hunting, perhaps, though I've only ever embarked with groups from court.

[He doubts Dimitri gets it. But anyway. Gonna let that go, for now.]

Haha, if you wished to play, I'm certain I'd find a way to make it fun for the both of us~

Hm. So long as you didn't waste time on such things when you ought to be doing something more important, I don't see why anyone would consider it trite. To speak cynically, some might be endeared to a king with softer hobbies, you know?

And to be less cynical, I'm certain Mercedes would love to teach you, if you asked her. You know she's unbelievably patient, and your strength being an obstacle would be something to work through together, rather than something to be ashamed of.

Hunting with groups from court is... Ah. I suppose that'll be a necessary hobby for the both of us, won't it?

I can't say I'm interested in a game in which you try to lose. Perhaps we can learn a new game together, a local one?

And some would think such a king irresponsible and weak. If I were to take up any such hobbies, I think I'd be keeping them to myself.

She has tried to teach me before, though... I just kept bending needles and ripping the holes I was meant to mend larger. She's kind, and a good teacher, but I don't want to waste her time furhter.

It will be, though I do look forward to your company on such ventures. [So long as Sylvain can stay focused and not run off with someone in the middle of it.]
