[...] What is an unexpected skill or special interest in your repertoire.

And why did someone add a ferret stampede to Temporal Puzzle 5146.b.

BRIONY, CONSTANCE, MALLORY, THEUN, TEDDY

Is anyone a proficient driver of [...] station wagons. I have to go into Stamford this weekend and the agency burdened me with a freighter.

You say a lot.

We'll start soon.

You listen too much. I'll concede and throw watercolors into the ring, however, it feel disingenuous as I haven't actually painted anything for [...] a while.

I could be starving right now.

You should start again.

How is that my problem?

You're very good at telling people to do things without an actionable plan.

If I waste away and die from being unable to feed myself, it could be on you. Not on my parents or nannies, but you, Benjamin. What a burden on your conscience.

Mark off some time next weekend to paint. There's your plan.

There's always instant noodles.

I already made plans. They—my extant plans—are my plans.

Sending me toward a coronary event, I see.

Next Thursday afternoon.

I wouldn't do that to your fancy palette.

As in this Thursday or the following Thursday?

And this is why I made my potentially starving state into your problem.

Do you have plans either this Thursday or the following Thursday?

My job.

In the evenings.

My answer stands. And I prefer not to paint at night, it's an "outdoors and natural light only" activity. [...] But this can't be fun for you, so what if I promise to find a chance in the next two months and we circle back to the topic in six?

Fair enough, it's a deal. I don't know anything about painting. [...] But my plan was to say you paint one night, get your lesson on the other.

[...] What if I [...] have my lesson this week and ~~pro~~ pledge to find a small window within which to paint before August 18, 2025.

Before July 18, 2025.

You've just halved the time allotted, how do you intend to sweeten the deal?

Lessons 2x a week, unless missions get in the way of things.

I accept your terms.

Then we have a deal.

I'm little help in the aisles of a grocery store unless you're short on mustard but I do intend to at least bankroll this [...] project.

You know I recently found myself with more mustard than I know what to do with.

It's ridiculous for any one person to own that much mustard, I have no idea why you ever let it into your home.

The guy who delivered it was a looker and I've always been a sucker for a pretty face.

Well, then let's hope you didn't misplace his card for the next time you need something completely unnecessary.

I don't think I did which is good. I want to ask him about his special skills.
