[Ajax snorts at the idea of getting a second job as a salesman. He already wheels and deals enough in the business world, though the idea of it is fun.

The only problem is time, there really isn't enough time in a day to get everything done that you want to.

Having a garden, that sounds like something she'd have given her profession, and hiking is a pretty all-around liked activity for a lot of people.

Me? Well, I have a few hobbies I like to participate in. Cooking, as you know, is one of them, but I also rather enjoy going out ice fishing whenever we travel back to Snezhnaya with my siblings. That's where I was born and raised before coming here.

[He looks excited to talk about his homeland- even his voice has brightened a little bit.]

But I think my favorite hobby is martial arts and weapons training. I compete in competitions as much as I can with my schedule, and I often take weeknights to go train and work on my skills. I'm rather interested in your fencing skills...

[Please...fight him...Lumine...]
