"Easy, an astronaut." she told him. "I just had a thing for the universe at the time. I just thought it was interesing, so much mystery and discorveries just waiting to be made..."
Laughing a little at her childhood memories, she looked back at him. "And what about you?"

Jack scratched his cheek. "An explorer or an archeologist, I never really made up my mind." He chuckled. "I wanted to wander the world and discover things on my own, take paths no one's taken in a thousand years, discover something new or find a lost civilization. Just have fun for my entire life I suppose."

Hotaru laughed lightly, picturing Jack in one of those explorer outfits. "Most kids have pretty big dreams when they're young." she commented. "I'm impressed with the ones that actually make it when they're older."

"Yeah, to keep interest in one thing for so long is impressive in itself, but all that work." He shook his head. "They gotta have some pretty supportive parents and a helluva lot of determination."

Hotaru nodded her head a little. "Yep, it's a lot of work, alright." She agreed, followed by pressing her right index finger over her lip in thought.
"You think most people just quit on their dreams because they think it's impossible, or they just forget all about it and move on?" she asked finally. The redhead didn't really now why she was asking; it just popped up in her head.

"Hmm..." He held his chin in thought, looking down. "I think more people give up because people tell them it's not going to happen so much that they begin to believe it themselves. That seems to happen to the best and the brightest wherever you go, the trouble is that they buy into it. We humans are gullible like that. Of course," He shrugged. "They could just lose interest or find that something else suits them better."

"True," she agreed. "I feel sorry for the ones that just give up. You never know what could happen if you stick with it, after all."
Sighing a little, she let her head fall back a little to where she was looking at the sky once again. "So," she said, beginning to smile again. "Is there something else you wanna do, or do you wanna just stay here and talk?" Hotaru didn't care either way, she just didn't want Jack getting bored or anything like that.

"Well," He grinned. "We're out of soda, so do we have much choice?" He knew what she was getting at, but talking with her was always fun.

Hotaru laughed a little. "That's right, I forgot." The Tora had felt pretty lazy for the time being, anyway.
With another laugh, she hugged Jack, resting her chin on his shoulder. "You're a good pillow." she muttered lazily, yet still smiling at him cheerfully.

Jack blinked and did the same. "You too." He said with a laugh. "Feeling lazy?" He asked. He was feeling rather tired himself, probably had something to do with the increasing lateness of his nights and the limited time to sleep.

"Mmhmm." Hotaru muttered. She was trying her best not to fall asleep at any moment as she forced her eyes to stay open, with the exceptions of a few blinks here and there. "Guessing you are, too?" she asked him.

Jack nodded and yawned. "I probably wouldn't be if more people knew where the kitchen was."

Hotaru let out a short laugh at his reply. "Then I guess the both of us need a nap." she said. "Or go to bed earlier tonight."
The redhead finally gave in, closing her eyes, but still making sure she wouldn't fall asleep. She was pretty sure Jack wouldn't aprecciate her falling asleep on him so soon.

The Ookami rolled his eyes. "Like that's gonna happen. We've got practice duels until midnight and then some at ten tomorrow. Not much chance for a good night's sleep and getting back and forth." Though Jack knew was going to sleep for as long as those ten or so hours would allow.
He leaned back on the railing, making sure he had a fair amount of support so it would take nothing short of an earthquake to make him fall.

"Ouch." the Tora said in reply. "That sucks, I'm sorry." she opened her eyes slightly. "Me, personally, can't get my sleeping times straight. Too many restless nights from all sorts of stuff. One of the many great things of being in the clans." she added the last part sarcastically.
