"Now that is something which which I have an unfortunate amount of experience." His chuckle is soft, his smile wry but- he refuses to have this moment of peace, of lively joy dimmed by thoughts of his overworked, overwrought past.

"Back home a great deal of my time was spent teaching, training, or in study. Having a proper occupation has done much to fill my days, but I still find myself unaccustomed to this much free time. For me it's- an adjustment. For you? I hope you are able to find something that brings you both joy and peace." For a balanced life is a serene, healthy life. Work and play, calm and harmless chaos both.
