Open Post: La savate et le chausson

[futaille]

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.

"What's thine alternative?"

[futaille]

"Huh, I'm not sure. Perhaps curiosity?"

[sagramore]

"A curiosity of thyself?"

[futaille]

"Yes. I have become a curiosity to peer at with vague interest, not unlike a curio on a shelf in a gallery."

[sagramore]

"A curio?"

[futaille]

"A small interesting object often kept in a cabinet."

[sagramore]

"Thou'rt used too often for that."

[futaille]

"Indisputably. But perhaps I can occasionally be a curious decoration, if I really put my mind to it."

[sagramore]

"Dost thou often put thy mind to doing nothing but sitting still?"

[futaille]

"Does sleeping count? Because aside from that... actually, yes, but it's very occasional."

[sagramore]

"Sleeping indisputably doesn't count."

[futaille]

"Well that seems extraordinarily unfair."

[sagramore]

"Insufficiently just?"

[futaille]

"Positively inequitable."

[sagramore]

"Insufficiently pleasing, I imagine."

[futaille]

"Oh, you're never insufficiently pleasing."

[sagramore]

"Wait, were we talking about me? I've lost track."

[futaille]

"About something you said, so it follows."

[sagramore]

"I don't know that it does."

[futaille]

"You don't have to know, conveniently. I'll know for both of us."

[sagramore]

"I'm gratefully thine."

[futaille]

"I'm extraordinarily glad to hear it."

[sagramore]

"Art thou exceptionally glad?"

[futaille]

"Tremendously glad."

[sagramore]

"Indubitably."
