How is it restricting? Doing good is well, good.

And yes, I enjoyed the thrill of battle. But I did not enjoy being a solider. I didn’t enjoy taking lives, and I still don’t. That’s where we differ. -JW

Doing good is simple. Mundane. I don’t know how you live with it, honestly.
You should try it sometime - but not as a duty. You might find that we have more in common than you previously thought.
By the way, how are you faring with your return to being a ‘confirmed bachelor’? -SM

Guess who’s now fit to go out into the field? -SM

I’m afraid you’ve lost me, dear. To whom are you referring? Really, you should be more clear about these things. ~JM

Queen Gerold has been making impressive strides.
You could probably take her hunting yourself, if you’d like. You’ll need some instruction, but you’re a fast learner. -SM 

That I am. Oooh, now I’m looking forward to taking her out.

You did manage to surprise me after all. ~JM

Glad to hear it, Boss. She was a right old bitch to get in order, but I’ve grown rather fond of the bloody thing.
Still shits everywhere, though. Best not wear your Westwood. -SM 

I knew you’d warm up to her eventually.

That’s fine, I’ll just wear something of yours instead. ~JM

Refer to previous conversation - read, how Moran’s wardrobe excels Jim’s.
I look forward to going out to the countryside with you. It’s so… isolated. -SM

I’ll have everyone know that I didn’t want to write this.
I hope you had a nice day, Jim.
There, satisfied? -SM 

A little sincerity wouldn’t kill you, would it? This day only comes once a year.

~JM

Roses are fuck it.
I hate this.
I’m going to shoot somebody.
Taste my fist.

It kind of rhymed, even. -SM

Hmmm, well it’s a start, anyways.

I thought you enjoyed writing and were adequate at it? This is rather…. sad. ~JM

I write about sidearms, preferable hunting conditions, and how to properly extirpate beasts.
Emotions are not my forte, if you haven’t yet noticed. -SM

I have noticed, which is why I’m rather fond of you. Forget what I said about sincerity; this is one day a year where we can pretend. Just for fun. I got you a gift after all. ~JM

Did you? I’m afraid I haven’t gotten you anything, though that could be easily remedied.
May I ask what it is? -SM 

My heart - Well, I say mine, but it’s not really mine. It is gift wrapped, however. Oh, and some new toy that mysteriously went missing from some high security base before it could be mass produced.

I figured you’d appreciate that more than chocolate. ~JM

How intuitive of you.
Really, though, I am itching to see that toy you mentioned. 
Any requests in return? -SM

Darling, that was not how that conversation went. Jim’s wardrobe far excels his pet’s wardrobe.

Isolated, hm? Go on. ~JM

Ugh, I am not rehashing this with you.
There’s something about feeling rough ground beneath your trainers, getting dirt beneath your fingernails, and smelling something other than smog. It’s good to get away from the concrete and find that somehow you managed to get grass stains on your knees and droplets of blood on your shoes (either the predator’s or the prey’s, does it really matter whose it is).
Using the term ‘to be one with nature’ is cliche, and also unrealistic. But it is something to feel as though you’ve conquered it. -SM
