I did, thank you. I'm not accustomed to buying things in person, but I did find them eventually.

[protective_logic]

No offense meant by this, but surely a man of your... stature might have issues finding appropriate sizes online if you cannot check them in person for the fit.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I have simple tastes and I know what I like. I simply replace what I have with something similar.

In my line of work, it's not uncommon for people to want larger cuts of clothing. There's a reasonably-sized market for it, believe it or not, and I have an easier time finding work clothing online than I do in person.

[protective_logic]

Dare I ask what your line of work is, other than to potentially be big and imposing?

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I'm a mercenary. Does that bother you?

[protective_logic]

No. What you have chosen to do with your life is your own, well, choice. I suppose it explains the hands. They've seen a lot.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I'm relieved, to be honest. Most people aren't so kind as you are.

Many of those scars came before I entered the field, actually. You might say that these hands have seen too much.

[protective_logic]

It's a true enough here on Adaptive. Too many people knowing too much too soon.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Too much of Adaptive knows it. Have you experienced it as well, I take it?

[protective_logic]

Of course.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Can I ask if it cost you your hearing? Mine nearly stole my voice and scarred my body. I don't know what I could be now, other than a mercenary.

[protective_logic]

I was born this way.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I'm sorry. I should not have asked. Should I tell you mine in exchange? The chemical-heavy air of Sidewinder's mines siphoned my voice away.

Maybe we should speak of happier things.

[protective_logic]

I'm sorry for what happened to you. I'm glad you got out.

What founds as happier thoughts for you?

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Simple pleasures? Running, days without plague clouds, a newly-wound skein of yarn. For you?

[protective_logic]

Those rare days when I can sleep in first thing in the morning. The first time reading a book. The smell of that really expensive Jedanese coffee the cafe near the twins' daycare makes.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

You have twins? How old are they>

I think I know which cafe you mean. The one that also sells the imported teas?

[protective_logic]

They're my little siblings, five years old.

Oh yes, that place. I hear their teas are wonderful. And Jedanese. Those are supposed to be some of the best beans in the colonies. I can't imagine how a small place in Gulch can afford to carry them. But they smell so amazing.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

You are a brave man to care for two five-year-olds.

We could always meet for a cup some time, if you would like.

[protective_logic]

They're only the youngest of our family. But they're wonderful. Alike as the sun and the moon.

A kind offer but I can't afford the rates that coffee shop charges.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Only? How many other siblings do you have?

Consider it my treat, from one tea aficionado to another.

[protective_logic]

Sadly I'm a coffee fan, not a tea aficionado.

Seven siblings including the twins.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

You're missing out. Sure you won't let me convert you? Or at least treat you to Jedanese coffee?

Seven siblings is a massive family. I'm impressed.

[protective_logic]

It is a massive family, but we love each other...

Are you serious?

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I hear that does help. Especially when you have twins. I hear they can be devious.

Quite serious. I know better than to joke about coffee.
