WHO: Jim Lake and you!
WHERE: Bluo
WHEN: Throughout March
WHAT: Jim isn't used to having all this free time.
WARNINGS: Nothing probably.
i: Looking for worms
[Jim's life had become...really hectic since he found the Amulet of Daylight. So suddenly having all this free time is so strange.
So he finds things to occupy himself with. He knows he's no good at hunting...but he doesn't want to rely entirely on his roommates to get ingredients.
After some digging around in the store, he manages to find a fishing rod! Success! But now he needs to find bait.
Which is why he's digging in the dirt with a small, rusty hand shovel. Then he stops and groans.]
Still nothing... [He notices you watching and, far from being embarrassed, he just waves.] I don't suppose you know where I can find some worms?
ii: Training is important
[Just because Blinky isn't here, just beause he'll go back and nothing will have progressed doesn't mean he doesn't need to train.
In fact, Jim feels like this is the perfect time to get some training in! That way he'll have gotten extra training by the time he got back!
Though without the Hero's Forge (not that he's been able to train there for a while now) and no other places to train he's going to need to get...creative.
Which is why you may catch him trying to tie some hay and logs together to make a training dummy. it might look a bit like a naked scarecrow though.
When he thinks he's done. He's going to look at his rather lacklustre attempts and nod.]
Not bad, right?
[Yes, he's asking you. And as if on cue, the dummy leans over to one side before falling down. Or maybe its arms fall off. Either way...he has the grace to look embarrassed when it happens.]

... This is your first time, right?

I always had someone to practice with and before we had to leave it behind, the Hero's Forge was always well stocked with training equipment.
[But he had neither of those here, not in the same way he did back home.
Though he frowned because...it wasn't as if he still had that back in his world at the moment. Most of his training had turned into field training and patrols now.]
no subject
It's understandable to be frustrated.
[That said, she comes over and begins trying to get the straw dummy back up.]
no subject
[Maybe he could ask Xie Lian...
He sighed and rubbed at the back of his neck.]
It's just...I guess I never realized how many things I took for granted back home.
no subject
Why, I miss even the most unrefined, brutish members of my army, and I never thought I'd see that day.

no subject
[And she can certainly name a few.]
no subject
[Though he'd hardly be his first (or even tenth) choice).
He's watching her work.]
You're definitely better at this than I am.
no subject
[She tries, at least.]
no subject
[He was busy enough without even half that amount of responsibilities...]
We sure are lucky to have you here.
no subject
Why thank you. And we are grateful for your presence as well.
no subject
...I'm not sure I'm that helpful. All I can do is cook and I still have to rely on my housemates to bring me ingredients.
[Especially meat.]
Oh, and I have a magic amulet too. [Look, he appreciates the fact that he has the Amulet of Daylight and but so far? Apart from quests it hadn't really been much use. (How he will eat his words when the dragons come.)]
no subject
[Like her.]
