Zelaen nodded as Benji spoke, taking a bite out of the cookie before returning to the ice cream. The cookie was delicious, and it went so well with the ice cream and all of the toppings. When Benji asked him what he wanted to do next, he thought for several minutes before answering.
"Well, the arcade certainly sounds like a lot of fun," he said after swallowing a mouthful of ice cream. "There's a few games that I'm good at, but I don't really get to go to arcades that often."
When he mentioned the other shopping, Zelaen nodded. "I remember you mentioning the bookstore. That would be fun," he said, pausing to think for a few minutes before he answered Benji's next question. "Do I... like to swim? Well, I like it all right, but I'm not the greatest of swimmers, sadly," he said, lowering his head sheepishly.
His own feet were swinging back and forth absentmindedly as he ate his ice cream, but he was certainly in no hurry. When Benji asked him what he did, aside from taking care of his sister, he offered a smile.
"Well, my other half-sister, Lori, is a musician. I usually clean up the recordings she makes--you know, cut back the static in the background, do my best to remove a rogue cough in the dead space where the recording itself has started, but the music hasn't--or even after the music's ended, but the recording's still going. I also transcribe some of the things she plays, although that's definitely harder," he said, laughing. "Hobbies? Well, I enjoy listening to music a lot. I also take recordings and mess with the sounds slightly to create new versions of a song--but most of them never get off of my computer."
Setting the spoon down for a moment, he then asked, "How about you? What hobbies do you have, aside from writing and drawing? What kind of a job would you like to have?"
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher
I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
"Human", Rag'n'Bone Man
