What was it like being an SAS colonel? You still go out in the field when you're that high up?

I'm fine. I just- don't have anything better to do right now than... this.

-Steph is getting late breakfast-

-she has a Canadian flag T-shirt on-

-Nineke is playing the fiddle on the roof-

Oh no- not always. A lot of it is orchestrating the operation- making sure all the gears are moving as they should when you're that high up... and I was a bit older too.

A lot of work with the defense ministry as well.

-shakes his head-

Sadly no.

I've seen no sign of her yet.

-Nadine is also in the kitchen, just eating an apple-

I live in a constant state of fear and misery.

Oh, uh - those look pretty sharp enough already, don't they?

(Gray Caster is also on the roof)

(humming along to whatever tune Nineke's playing on her fiddle)

Oh, yeah — good evening...?

...Yeah. But it can't hurt to keep them that way.

Ah. So it was more of a bureaucratic thing at that point?

(stops humming, smiling back)

It's a nice day, isn't it?

Isn't that, like, bad for them? Since sharpening a blade is really just scraping bits of metal off.

-nods- And overseeing training.

Honestly though, when you're getting to your late forties- field-work doesn't sound so appetizing.

That's just... microscopic bits of it. I... don't think that's going to end up hurting anything.

Well, yeah, but I bet you could do it. It just wouldn't be as easy as it used to be.

-nods- Yes- these days, though-

I'm just about only good for stationary reconnaissance.

That and I'm retired.

Heh. Yeah, that'd make it pretty hard to go and do anything like that at all. Without getting arrested, anyway.

-nods- And I'm well- 75 this year.

So, there's not much these old bones could do fieldwork wise regardless.

-nods-

Yep.

Me and Kitt will be here still.

At least until we know that the scientist is back safely.

you know I originally came here on vacation, but it's rapidly turned into a business trip

...How sharp do you like to go with them?

(indeed, she tries to get a read on whatever sort of material these knives are made of, if they're sturdier than steel)

Mm. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping... if there were children here, I wouldn't be surprised if they were playing catch.

Mm. Not like that's a bad thing, though. The time for all that's come and gone.

But- yeah, not much of a revelation. I know I'll feel the same way when I've been around that long.

I, uh... try to get them as sharp as I can get them.

-It's got steel in it, but some other ~unfamiliar~ metal's mixed in with it, making it stronger than it otherwise would be-

I believe for me, it's rather the opposite.

Funny how that works.

-nods- Mmm.

Well you've got a while yet, I'd say.

What do you usually cut with them?

Fending for themselves in a place like this?
