∞ 84: Solace from time's passage [action/written]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Today Albert is in the sitting room of his house, leafing through a few books idly. The weather is disappointingly rainy for summer, but it's a pleasant change from the heat earlier in the week.

Eventually, he will fall asleep on the couch. It was just supposed to be a nap -- half an hour at most. But that half an hour turns into a whole hour. And then two. (This may even repeat in his bedroom later on.)

Sometime later in the evening, he will write in his journal.]

Accomplishments could be said to be life's milestones. Some are far apart, and others are so close together that they may very well overlap. Some may be considered mundane, and others utterly unique to your circumstances.

If you are willing, I would like to hear of a mundane accomplishment. Something that others could relate to. I will share one of my own: I graduated from school as a teenager.

A jockey is a competitor who races a steed, such as a horse or dragon horse.

[A dragon horse! Finally something that sounds normal. Even if there aren't any of those in his world.]

I've heard of people racing on ostrich horses. I didn't know they had a name for it.

[There is a brief pause as Albert thinks of what Sokka has just said.]

An "ostrich" horse?

[markofthewise]

Yeah. They're... kind of like your horse, I guess. Only not as weird.
