\u2018I\u2019m unemployed at the moment, actually.\u2019 Magnus shrugged, yet his eyes\u00a0downcast\u00a0to the ground with a drawn brow for a fleeting second before it smoothed once more. He supposed lying was the easiest option to go for if he wanted to avoid the continuation on such a sensitive topic. \u2018Detective work was too taxing. I found myself\u00a0aging,\u00a0and never had any decent amount fo time to myself, so I decided to let it up.\u2019 The human felt disconcerted about lying through his teeth, so instead, he responded on a truthful subject. \u2018I\u2019m not that great a flyer\u2026I get motion sickness, and can be quite nervous on going on jets. I\u2019ve never been out of the country. I do however, take trips to see my cousins up North with every chance I get. I drive there, of course.\u2019<\/p>\n

Smiling, the human dropped his eyes to hers again, tone light and a little teasing. \u2018Ah, you see? You\u2019ve caught me rambling too. Now tell me, do\u00a0you\u00a0<\/em>have any favourite pastimes when you\u2019re not actively involved in literary studies? I\u2019ve still got my \u2018twenty questions\u2019 that need to be answered.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOh, lots. I love to read. I tear through books like you would not believe. I was so happy when ereaders finally became reasonably priced. I also study martial arts, and actually spend a lot of time researching my family history.\u201d Summer chuckled. \u201cI do a lot of things for fun that I\u2019m probably not actually very good at, like singing and dancing, and I write a little too.\u201d Twining her hands before her, she smiled up at Magnus, shaking her hair back. \u201cNext?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018You\u2019re quite the voyager,\u2019 Magnus responded, impressed, \u2018And above all that, you travel too. Quite a good life you have there.\u2019
Brow perking at her list, the human continued. \u2018Martial arts, ey? Funny, I wouldn\u2019t pick you as the one with a few tricks of the trade under your belt – though then again, looks can be\u00a0deceiving.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“A girl’s got to protect herself somehow, and carrying weaponry is such a hassle. Much better if I can defend myself with just myself.” Tucking her hands in her back pockets, Summer went on, “Plus, it’s a good place to take my frustrations. I get so \/angry\/ sometimes, at the world and the way it is.” She took a few quick, running steps forward, flashing a jumping front kick into the air.<\/p>\n

“Not that I’ve ever needed to use it that way. I mean, who would bother me? I don’t look like a threat or a good target.” She shrugged. “Not pretty enough to try to rape, not flashy enough to shake down for cash, not tall or built enough to be a challenge.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
