Open Post: La savate et le chausson

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.

"Yep!" He takes another sip. "Are you feeling cured yet?"

"Oh wonderful, it's working then," he laughs.

"I could become a doctor."

“Well that’s good to hear. I would hate to find out I have an unsatisfied patient. Do you want more kykeon or something else?”

“Coming right up!” He picks up Grantaire’s glass and as he hands it back over it refills.

"Absolutely not! That would be unthinkable, and very upsetting to boot."

"Right, then. All I need is your firstborn child, or a voucher for same, and you can take this fine bottle of paint off for your commission."

“Yeah, the taste is about the same.”

“Yes?” Dionysus takes a sip of his own, though his drink is still the first version.

"All right, I see. You want to know whether I can collect your firstborn here, or whether I'll be left unpaid because I can't get out to Paris."

"'Whoever'? You've got absolutely no thoughts about who the other parent might be?"

Unfortunately, this train of thought immediately leads him to the single memory he has of, as Magnus so succinctly put it, Evil Twin Day, and he needs to move it to a different track immediately.

"That's a very good point," and a very good distraction. "What can we categorize as a child that isn't a child?"
