[Though sometimes Laurel wasn't always so lucky.]
I am sure that there are more than five things that I can say about you, Major. But I appreciate the heads up anyway.
Video games aren't really my forte; it depends on the sport; I'm a pretty good blanket hog just so you know; and animals have been known to like me. [She matches his grin.] I do like how you're open to other scenarios, Major. I'm gonna have to use my imagination and come up with something really good. [There's a promise in her voice, followed by a wink.]
So, I should probably let you go, huh? Since you're working on the gym. I mean, I don't want to let you go because I'm enjoying the conversation and I like you - so this is really hard.

Ahh, well. Maybe we can make a gamer of you yet. There are lots of different kinds, from the silly and mindless to the more intense. They can be a fun bonding activity. Or, at least, I've found them to be. But how about - if you agree to let me teach you a few games, I'll let you teach me a few things of your own? Whatever you want. No restrictions.
[There's a slight pout, but a heavy sigh of agreement.] Yeah - I .. should probably get back to it? But it doesn't mean we can't talk again soon, or even in little bits throughout the day. I can be a bit of an idiot when it comes to staying in touch in a consistent way, so if I fade to nothing for a little while, that's why; it isn't because I don't want to talk to you or decided I don't like you anymore. I just get distracted and am bad at remembering to text people.

Those terms are agreeable. I'll let you teach me a few games and maybe I'll teach you some self-defense? I don't know if you'll be interested in learning about the law but I'm pretty well-versed in that, even if I haven't exactly practiced since I got here. I promise to think of something interesting.
[She could have taken that part of the conversation to somewhere else completely, but Laurel didn't feel that it was appropriate.]
It's okay. I get being distracted - happened to me plenty of times. But I will keep in touch, even through text. All you gotta do is let me know you're okay. A smiley face emoji will do, it doesn't have to be a long text. And I know that people also need their space and alone time so if you go radio silent for a bit, it's fine. [Laurel smiles to reassure him.]
Soooo I guess this is goodbye for now. Take care, okay?
