So what do you actually do for fun around here? Besides drinking or sex. [ Because she already knows the joy of those, obviously. ] Do you have hobbies.

Shit, yeah. It's frustrating for me being stuck here listening to people talk about vapors and humors, I can't imagine what it's gotta be like you for.

[ Plus the whole magic thing in general, though after some of the things that have happened back home it seems like maybe less of a huge deal than it would have been otherwise. ]

[Cosima laughs at that.]

Most of the time people are happy to talk about what they're good at. I've tried to explain germ theory to a few people, it seems like it's taking. Microbiology as a whole less so, but hey, I've got a microscope so at least people can see what cells are now?

[Small steps. We won't mention Etienne.]

And magic's a whole wrench in the works, like, it demonstrably does stuff, it's real in that sense, but as for how it interacts with the laws of nature and physics, who the fuck knows? We need, like, Thedas' answer to Isaac Newton.

[coppelganger]

Well, it sure as shit isn't going to be Etienne.

[ Drag him, Cosima, it's okay. ]

[youwonscience]

God, he really is the worst.

Are you still, uh. I mean, you do you, but. How hard should I punch him in the face if he gets handsy again?

[That's probably not ever going to happen -- either him mistaking her for Sarah or Cosima punching him -- but she can dream.]

[coppelganger]

Punch him as hard as you want. I'm not sleeping with him anymore. Not after he started asking me for piss and teeth.

[ Sarah is raising the bar a little higher for herself these days. ]

[youwonscience]

That seems like a solid choice.

I mean, you can sleep with whoever you want, obviously, but he's a jerk and a quack, so.

[coppelganger]

Gotta draw the line somewhere. And I swear not all my exes are jerks, just most.
