Prescribed Recreation part 3: Chillax'n with a Vengeance

[fleurdesel]

Who: House 44, House 46, House 3, Saori, Steve Rogers, and whoever wanders in
What: Movie night on the beach
When: September 9th, in the evening
Where: The Beach
Summary: After an unfortunate tussle with a Chaos God, work on a farm, a swarm of refugees and stress piled upon stress, sometimes all anyone wants is to sit back and watch classic movies.
Rating: PG for possible adult language
Something that everyone could agree on was this: the past three weeks had been several shades of stressful. What they needed, what they all needed was something mindless and relaxing shared in the company of those they care for in a neutral environment. The beach works well enough, and it's not that far a trip for anyone involved.

He won't become an alcoholic, gamble me into debt, and sleep around on me. I think I'll take the boring.

[redjacketthief]

...

[No arguing that.]

Call me if you want to be rescued from the boredom.

[fleurdesel]

Who would you recommend, then? Not that I'll listen, but really.

[redjacketthief]

I'm not recommending anyone. I'm just giving you my opinion. If you like it, go for it. But...boredom.

[fleurdesel]

I'm certain I could help him learn to loosen up.

[redjacketthief]

And you'll win the Nobel Peace Prize if you do.

[fleurdesel]

I don't see how it'd win a peace award. [She snorts and looks back out to the ocean.]

...I don't know how to do this. I haven't since I was a teenager.

[redjacketthief]

Trust me. It would.

...

If you don't want to do it immediately, try a series of conversations that subtly steer him to the conclusion himself, if he feels the same. It might work.

[fleurdesel]

I don't think bringing it up directly would work out terribly well, no. I still need to sort out how he feels regarding attachments and his vows to the order. I know he was willing to give them up for Levarre but that was entirely different from this.

[redjacketthief]

Then there's a chance.

[A beat.]

Take it slow then, and do what you feel is best. But, most importantly, don't think too hard on it. You'll just get yourself frustrated.
