We'll burn the house down!

[i_am_emmet]

I am Emmet, I am sure we could melt a little in a pot on the stove.

[offtracks]

We'd need something much hotter than that, if it is anything like blacksmithing! I suppose we could find out about that much easier than the gold repairs...there must be people making things of gold in the city! They have jewelry!

[i_am_emmet]

I thought gold was a soft metal. And there must be!

[offtracks]

I suppose I don't really know. This is certainly not something I did in Hisui! We did not have much metalworking in the Clan in general...but surely it takes more heat than cooking?

[i_am_emmet]

What if you put the flame up all the way?

[offtracks]

They wouldn't make it hot enough to melt pots, would they? We should just go to the library. Or ask the network, I suppose.

[Ingo has learned enough about the internet that he's not sure it's a good source for factual information anymore!]

[i_am_emmet]

We can do both, so that way if someone says something that matches the books, we can trust them, yup.

[offtracks]

Sensible!

[He sort of wants to ask: are you feeling better now? But it seems an absurd question to ask under the circumstances. He doesn't really want to bring it back up anyway.]

[i_am_emmet]

Besides, I need to go pick up more hobby things soon, I have used up my kits.

[Which is why if you go into Emmet's room, there is a bunch of loose art stuff and a small variety of crafts- like knitting, crystal growing, cross stitch, and a few model trains.]

[offtracks]

Hmm. I do not know how you jump between them so easily.

[Ingo, on the other hand, has been slowly letting his hobbies drop. He finds he rarely has the energy - emotional, if not physical - to start on a project. It's a lot easier to just lie around, or maybe watch TV.]

[i_am_emmet]

Because if I don't have something to think about, I will hate myself and want to die. Easy.

[Said pretty brightly for the context of the sentence you know.]

[offtracks]

[.............well.]

I just clean. Or organize.

[He does still do a lot of that, even if it's not really a hobby! And if he still can't keep the place clean enough to meet Emmet's standards!]

[i_am_emmet]

Cleaning is boring.

[Even though Emmet knows Ingo likes doing it, wouldn't Ingo prefer to do something else fun?]

And it seems like as soon as one mess gets cleaned up, another one spawns.

[offtracks]

I'm doing the best I can. [slightly nettled!] In any case, it must be done!

[i_am_emmet]

I know you are, but life is messy. And Mr. Cupcake refuses to eat her food in the bowl.

[You know Emmet, you could help out by cleaning up your spaces more.]

[offtracks]

We really ought to just put it outside.

[He could help out more, but far be it from Ingo to mention that!]

[i_am_emmet]

But then I would have to watch her as she eats so a raccoon doesn't think she is dinner or something.

[offtracks]

Do it on one of the upper balconies?

[i_am_emmet]

Thats a good idea, yup.
