[Eden is sitting on the floor; around her is a pile of munitions: AK-47s, small handguns, bricks of C4 (including one sculpted....into a rabbit.) boxes of ammo, and a few dozen crowbars.]

Damien once told me that young men fight. It's what they do. That if they don't have something to fight for then they'll fight just about anyone, they don't give a fuck.

[She picks up a handgun and unloads it]

I thought he was probably right.

If young men fight, what do young women do?

[Raikov eyes that gun collection.. Hn.]

It depends on the woman.

[But he believes most are useless. Something tells him he shouldn't say that outloud though.]

Does the same go for the man?

Yes, actually. Not every man is cut out to be a fighter.

I don't think he meant it literally.

Hn. Well... what I said still stands. If a man doesn't have true ambition for what he desires then he shouldn't bother with it.

What's your ambition, then?

My ambition...?

[To make it through the military alive. To mooch off Volgin for the rest of his life. To keep slacking off while on duty. To keep punching people in the face. To keep eating whatever the hell he wants...]

Art. I'd like to pursue an art career.

[Well, it's partially true at least...]

Art.

[This is the silence of a woman who thinks that's kind of stupid.]

Can you draw?

Of course. I wouldn't be interested if I couldn't draw.

Lots of people are interested in shite they can't do.

That's other people though.

How should I know? I don't know you.

Yes but I stated that I wouldn't be interested if I wasn't able to draw.

[He shakes his head]

Anyways... Growing up, I wanted to be an artist. I loved drawing... but my father preferred I pick a "more successful career."
