[Resolution made. Any good places to buy jackets?]

[I'm afraid I've never paid much attention to clothing stores. You might have better luck just wandering around until you see a coat you like in a window.]

[I suppose I can just walk back to the apartment and see what I find instead of taking the subway.]

[Sure. Bit of a hike but that I bet you actually do get better at surviving in the wilderness, hiking.]

[Yes, the streets of New York hold no terrors for me.]

[Just remember not to slay any taxis.]

[Pfff, taxis. I faced things that could eat taxis-sized animals for breakfast and only screamed a little bit.]

[Yes, but the taxis are much more important not to slay.]

[Wouldn't want to ruin New York's ecosystem, now, it's much more delicate.]

[And they're out of season.]

[Oh, there's a taxi hunting season? I should keep that in mind, wouldn't want my skills to go to rust.]

[But you're only allowed to take down the weak and infirm.]

[How do I recognize those?]

[It's hard. You have to pass a test on it to get your taxi hunting license.]

[Hmm, that sounds like a lot of work, are there other easier ways to keep practicing?]

[You could get my dad to teach you to fish.]

[Well, that sounds like a nice if boring bonding experience that I might take him up on anyway, but it doesn't sound like the same kind of thing.]

[No? Fish are not sufficiently megafaunalike?]

[They're quite unlike megafauna. Surprising, I know.]

[You could work your way up to the really big fish. Tuna are huge.]

[Well sure but fishing them is mostly not moving for a very long time.]

[This is my problem with fishing too.]

[I could do it now that I have this communication channel with you, wouldn't necessarily need to be bored out of my mind.]

[Sometime when we go visit Charlie, then.]

[Do you have an ETA on when it'll be more than just text? Because I just saw this beautiful jacket and it'd be pretty great to show you it.]
