I know what hobbies are. [He's blushing now.] I'm just busy, is all.

[send_noods]

Okay, busy with what? I'm not accepting training or whatever as a valid answer.

[...suddenly gets a gleam in his eye]

Is it social calls? Maybe a date?

[thisismagrave]

I appear to be a high ranking field agent for my uncle, the Emperor, trusted to do missions solo.

I don't know what a date is.

[send_noods]

... you're breakin' my heart, kid.

I mean, not that field agent part. I know those feels.

Does dating make more sense as courting? Romancing? All that jazz?

[thisismagrave]

[There is a blank look.]

Romance is...a thing for people who are married?

[send_noods]

[he's so confused]

Romance happens so people end up married.

[thisismagrave]

Exactly. Romance is so married stuff can happen.

[send_noods]

[he can't help it he just chuckles]

You know what? We'll work on that.

Let's start simple. Back to hobbies! You've seen all the dorm yeah? There's a bunch of stuff in the game room, my room's always open if you wanna look through the library, and there's a bunch of electronics and stuff in the garage workshop... any interest in any of that?

[thisismagrave]

....what kind of library? [He is a nerd playing jock.] What are electronics?

[send_noods]

[let's books!]

It's technically my room, but the door's always open if you wanna grab some books. Come on...

[starts to lead Roufus to Scenic My Room]

Didn't have enough points then to get a separate library for the dorm and a bedroom upgrade, but it's a pretty decent size.

[the door is indeed open, and the library is littered with comfy chairs in Pep blue]

[thisismagrave]

[Books]

[BOOKS!!!]

[Excuse him, he's approaching those bookshelves, looking over the titles.]

A bedroom upgrade?

[send_noods]

[secret nerdboys! Books are sorted by genre and there's a surprising variety. There are a few history books and fiction volumes littered on sidetables. Most are bookmarked with colored pieces of paper]

Uh-huh. You can upgrade your room or buy a completely new dorm space for 2000 points. They end up tying in some of Pep's school theme, but they've been pretty nice.

[we'll just ignore the school-themed haunting stuff]

[thisismagrave]

[Oooooh]

[He is]

[Absolutely picking books off the shelf RIGHT NOW. There does seem to be some consideration, but its not Long.]

And did the books just come with?
