I don't know yet. I like seeing other places, and being active. Exploring and traveling.
But I also like studying about what makes us tick. About why we do the things we do. How not to be afraid of the darkest parts of us, or think so negatively.
Well, I'll let you in on a secret. I've been sort of on my own and out of commission as it were for a long time. I remember being your age, and going to school, and having friends and big plans, and then there's a lot of time where I wasn't doing so much of that.
[This is a nice way of saying that he has essentially no memory of the period of his life between age seventeen and twenty-eight when he was in an asylum, and then for a few years after that there wasn't much going on, either.]
The past year, year and a half, that's been different, but -
In some ways I know more about being your age than I do about being an adult. Then again, it may be that no one knows anything about being an adult.
I'm probably a pretty poor example of it. I never completed my schooling or found much in the way of an occupation. But I came to start traveling with my friends and that has been good. That has been better. I have gotten more used to being around people again, I suppose. I have gotten to see a lot of the world and I think it is a pretty good goal you have, to try.
Yes, we are friends. Even if she does keep saying we are mercenaries, which is only partway accurate.
It isn't so much as I disliked it as I found it difficult. Other people have their own opinions and things they want to do, and you have to get along with them and make peace, and that was foreign to me in some ways. And I didn't think I wanted or needed it, until I decided that there was safety in numbers.

So what's it really like then? Being an adult. You said the past year and a half has been different.

You're Beauregard's friend, right? She told me about you guys and your mercenary group. [beau] You didn't like being around people?

But it isn't bad at all. I like them.
