Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 1:05 pm"Hello, Professor Sackville," Miranda said, working her way through the rooms and trying to decide which machine to tackle today.

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 1:12 pm"Miranda," Roland acknowledged, steadying the bag. "How are you this morning?"
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 1:13 pm"Conflicted," she said, making for one of the stair climbers and beginning to get the machine set up. "How are you?"
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 1:35 pm"I'm doing alright. Too many new people here for my taste, but what can you do."

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 1:40 pm"I know how you feel. But if they didn't come, they'd have to shut this place down."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 1:58 pm"That's what has you conflicted?"
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 2:11 pm"No. I think conflicted is going to be a way of life for me now."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 4:35 pm"Fun times."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 5:22 pm"Not particularly, no." She started stepping on the machine. "I am looking forward to your history class this semester though."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 9:56 pm"Well, that makes one! That's always a good start."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 10:02 pm"Other people are just missing out because they don't want to ask questions. The idea that you have actual answers to them is fascinating to me."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 10:11 pm"Well, I have an answer for things. Not always the right one."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 7:13 am"Well, an answer is frequently better than no answer. Although I suppose if one is deluding oneself, then it would be better to have no answer. But that sounds dangerously close to philosophy."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:14 pm"That is, most certainly, not my area of expertise."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:21 pm"I do seem to recall you not liking philosophy... or seers for that matter."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:25 pm"Family issues."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:29 pm"In my defense, I don't pretend to know what's best for anyone but myself."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:55 pm"Oh, don't you now?"
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:57 pm"Of course, I don't pretend to know. I know what's best," she said, obviously joking.
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:33 pm"And that's why I don't like seers," Roland joked back.
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 10:03 pm"I may be many things in the future, but I'm not my mother, so I won't tell you what you should with whatever days the gods see fit to grant you."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 10:09 pm"The Gods have nothing to do with it."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 10:12 pm"Oh, right." There was no trace of sarcasm in her voice. In fact, her voice was the sheepish tone of someone who'd made a misstep. "I apologize."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 10:19 pm"It's fine, of course."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:01 am"It was a thoughtless statement though."
Re: Old Man's Got Moves
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2014 3:14 pm"You'll find those are the most common kind."
