Got no plans and I've got no money
Gone are the days of milk and honey

Somehow, Zavien's answer didn't surprise her. He was a Dragoon, first and foremost, and from her (admittedly limited) experience with soldiering types, it seemed that all they did was train, protect, and maybe eat and sleep. So she smiled, shaking her head affectionately, her mind straying briefly from Zavien to a similarly duty-driven Dragoon from whom she hadn't heard in quite some time.
Pulled from her thoughts by Zavien turning the question back to her, there was a brief moment where Soh was like a deer in the headlights. "Uh..." she said, swirling ice cream around in her cup. The last things she'd done for fun were... maybe not appropriate to tell the equivalent of one's boss. Somehow, she thought that playing strip poker and getting drunk over LongNight were things that she ought not share. And, really, had they been for fun, when all she'd wanted was to forget for a while?
So she thought back further. "My cartography has always been fun," she admitted. "I always annotate my maps with notes and drawings, so they're a bit like functional art. Even when I was selling them to make a living, I enjoyed the work." And before that, she had spent time with Flora, and before that, there was Jude. "And I've always enjoyed time with friends. The what we do doesn't matter so much to me as the who I do it with."
Reaching across the table, she stole a spoonful of lemon ice cream before offering Zavien a bite of hers. "Hanging out," she clarified. "Although I wouldn't say no to the occasional ice cream." She hummed her approval as the tangy notes of lemon hit her tongue. "Tha's real' goo." After swallowing her mouthful, she continued. "We could, like... I don't know. Go... for a run? Hit up the shops? You know, in the interest of boosting the economy." She winked, eyes sparkling with humor. "Oh, or we could go check out the parks. I bet Sol would like the green spaces."
Unfortunately, her good humor didn't last, and she deflated slightly as talk turned to the shaking ground beneath their feet. If Zavien was going to meet with Safrin now, then perhaps it would be useful to know what was said before she went off on a wild goose chase. "I'll be glad to come," she said. "We can hammer out next steps after you talk to her."
