"...so?"

"So I can't replace you. You're important."

"Everybody's the only one of them. It's like snowflakes."

"You're getting the spirit of it."

"It doesn't make snowflakes important."

"No, but people are important, and uniqueness means they're uniquely important."

"What's your point?"

"Just that I think it'd be nice if you took good care of yourself," he shrugs.

"What does that even mean?"

"The common sense stuff, eat enough, exercise, do fun activities."

Snort. "Fun activities is a health thing since when?"

"Since always! Endorphins and stuff, it helps your body function." Also mental health is a thing.

"I thought endorphins was exercise."

"Umm, I think it's enjoyable activities in general?"

"...but exercise isn't."

"Well, after you exercise you usually feel nice, that's supposed to be endorphins, I think. ...I should know more about this, biology's my thing."

Shrug.

"Anyway, I do know for a fact that having fun produces hormones that make your body behave better and are good for your health, even if they're not endorphins."

"I dunno that I can really do anything with that advice."

"Well you can still exercise. Like, run, maybe, or swim, or play some sport."

Jackson looks skeptically at Sadde, as though Sadde has suggested that since horses are conventionally understood to be healthy he should turn into a horse despite being a psion.

"What? It's fun! After you exercise you feel all energized and such, I know it starts out boring but it's really not."

"Maybe you do."

"I think it can take up to an hour of exercising before the effect kicks in, usually between half and three-quarters of."

"That's a long time."
