I would not define my duties to the people as a hobby. Aside from that, my actual hobbies do not take much time to pursue. Hunting I am rarely able to partake of anymore and it's rather a pity.
[His career was not something he did 'for fun'. Even if it did manage to get him out of certain social expectations he did not enjoy having to to go into. Unfortunately, even Daryl understood the need to talk his way out of this particular one with dancing words rather than bluntly ignoring it. Better to go the long route of excuses and tire them than allow the idea to fester where it could grow in the wrong mind and it's seeds could fall and be planted in too many others.]
Besides, I doubt there's any real need to find me match. I'm already 43. I'd either need to find myself a very young bride or a groom around my own years. Neither of which I find appealing.
[And before Dorian could inquire as to why:]
The former because I'd have to treat them as teacher would a student and the latter because I don't have to patience the bend myself to their already set-in-stone way of life and I can't rightly expect them to do it for me. Very unfair all around.
