Much to his satisfaction, Grantaire has been able to keep up with many of his hobbies unabated during his time at the mansion. Not all of them, though, mostly because they were ones he'd go to specific spots for, and with those spots not being here in addition to an abundance of his other hobbies, they more or less fell by the wayside.

However, a recent chat with Dionysus has reminded him that he has very much neglected his 'hitting things' level. Although he didn't find a crash test dummy, the thought being on his mind ended up in him stumbling upon a small gym tucked away, complete with some equipment including a standing punching bag.

So he's discarded his waistcoat and cravat over a bench and is practicing his savate¹.

¹French kickboxing! During R's time it was basically for streetfighting, and just beginning to get formalized, but there are some cool vintage videos on youtube (Here and here) to give the... vibe.

From:

"Thou hadst made a living out of thy volubility."

From:

He laughs. "Absurd. I love it."

From:

"Oh! And thou didst draw for me! Come back to the house?"

From:

"Of course. I'm curious."

From:

"Marvelous. And Laertes and I have started getting things ready to build the distillery, thou canst see our progress, too "

From:

"That is truly exciting news."

From:

"Oh, it's groundbreaking."

From:

"Oh, groundbreaking, is it?"

From:

"Or breaking ground. Something of the sort."

From:

"I can't wait to see it."

From:

"We've kept the durian waiting for so long."

From:

"I hope it's not angry at us for tarrying."

From:

"Oh, I am incredibly biased, but it doesn't change the fact that your butt is nice."

From:

"In that case, I'm very glad you get to enjoy it."

From:

"Christ, imagine a vengeful durian god."

From:

"The spikes alone would be terrifying."

From:

"As am I, I promise you."

From:

"Well, maybe I should return to what I was doing so you can watch more."

From:

"I am here to supervise," he laughs.

From:

"Supervise to your heart's content!" He returns to fighting the bag.

From:

"Will do!"

After a few minutes he makes himself a little snackie of some grapes to munch on. As one does.

From:

He goes at it for a good while under Dionysus's able supervision before he steps back and goes to flop on one of the benches.

From:

"Need a snackie?" he asks, holding up the bunch of grapes.

From:

"What," with a growing grin. "You've never found yourself fighting for your life in a world made of sugar?"

From:

He laughs a little as he looks over at Dionysus. "A snackie?"
