*smirk* Tell me about it.

*lights up a cigarette* Ya know the feelin?

A little too well. *rubs his chin* You mind if I bum a cigarette?

Sure. *holds the pack open*

You're a saint, Mate. *takes one gratefully, pulling out a lighter to start it* Name's Seamus. *holds out his hand*

Hardly. *takes the hand half-heartedly* Ennis.

No? *taking a drag* Well, I guess we've all got our shit.

Reckon so. *looks faintly amused by this as he puffs on his cigarette*

*grins* I know I do. *sighs, closing his eyes* This, for instance. *holds up the cigarette* I just cannot bring myself to care that these things are shriveling my lungs as we speak.

*looks at it and back to Seamus* Nah, s'pose we all gotta go some way.

Too true. *takes another drag* I think if I could choose, though, I'd go out swinging. You know what I mean? Fighting.

Fightin'? You in th'army or somethin'? *loonng drag*

Close enough. *runs a hand through his hair* Probably more of a militia.

[ooc: I'm goin sleeps but <3 will tag laters]

Militia, huh. *stubs out his cigarette* Yer all for that.. goin' out in glory stuff, then.

Maybe not necessarily literally fighting. I mean, I've still got things I've never done before. *grins* But fuck if I die and I'm sitting on my ass in front of the TV of a heart attack or some bullshit like that.

Reckon that'd be a right peaceful way t'go.

Painful. *rubs his chest, shivering thinking about it*

No way's quite painless, is'it?

I suppose not, the way we cling to life. I once had this mad professor - brilliant, but totally nutters, I tell ya - who had this thing he said... Something like, "Death is but the next great adventure." *shakes head, smiling fondly* Great man, that.

Ya really believe that? All that 'bout death?

I this this old professor of mine is a lot smarter than I am. Would know better than me about it, too. I figure if I'm gonna believe anything, his words area good place to start.

What were you watching?

Land'a th'lost. Were Jenny's favorite show when she was younger.

I've never seen that! Is that about dinosaurs?

Yeh, how'd ya guess?

I think I've heard of it. At least, a book called that or something. George had a big dinosaur phase.

Didn't know it were based on no book, but my girls loved that show.

I'll have to watch it sometime.

Guess that means I oughta get a telly..

Reckon that might help. Though, seein' as yer in town an' all, wouldn't mind sharin' the set.

Yeah? Well, next time you're watching something awesome, you should let me know. Most of my nights are whiled away with extra shifts at work or half hearted ~~arthimancy~~ home improvement/creative stuff.

My place ain't nothin' special, but yer welcome, anytime.

That'd be fantastic. I will definitely take you up on that sometime. You just let me know when. Then you can come over to my place, too! And, uh. Sit on boxes! And eat microwaved dinners!

*have a real smile :D* Sounds real good.

*looks somewhat surprised! but very pleasantly so* Yeah. Yeah, it does.
