Meditation helps. Well, it definitely helps me, anyway. [ Coming out as a new age hippie, once more, for the Quarantine. ]
I really don't mind, Cisco. It's what - I like doing this stuff. I like helping.
[ The idea of being useless, of not having anyone to help, or save, a mission after the next, doesn't sit well with John. He's been doing all of this for way too long, and as much as he enjoys the relative quiet and acceptance of the Quarantine, he can't bear the thought of sitting idle, and not being helpful.
John takes the rest of what Cisco says, eyes intent and very much taking internal notes on said ideas. That's the thing - they've both dated, they both have pasts, but Clarice's is tainted with the world's fearing her, just because of how she looks, while John's is marred with the ever present, cold knowledge that nothing could last, because he was going back to the war.
And then there was the Underground, for both of them. Not exactly the most romantic place, even if it was where he'd started falling for her. ]
I don't know if I'm cut out for a spa, but a hot spring... she's been going on and on about how much she wants to take a million baths, now that she doesn't have to stick with 2 minutes army showers.
[ Unsure if it's a second date kind of idea, but it's definitely something to consider. The March Madness thing, though, that's what makes John laugh, face open and bright with it. ]
Now, food - we've both been living on MREs for months.
