Seth watched as the boy - well, man, he supposed, the whippet just looked young to Seth's eyes - considered his question. When his drink arrived he took a welcoming sip of it, letting the silence settle comfortably around them as Jinan thought. That was the brilliant part about food. Awkward pauses could be filled with eating, and that made them much less awkward.
"Hah,[/b]" Seth chortled when the other Solandrian finally came up with an answer. "Yeah, family is important, I know that. Did you consider that maybe your dear mother would stop popping them out if she had to take care of all of 'em, though? Might be worth thinking about. There's a lot to see and do in the world, once you get yourself out there, and if you don't like it... Shit, no one says you can't come home.[/b]"
He took another deep sip of beer, wiping some stray drips out of his stubble. It was getting rather long, almost more of a beard at this point, but it had been a while since he'd last shaved. In a way, he understood Jinan's lack of desire to leave. A lot of his friends had thought he was insane when he'd finally left, but the job had called for him to move. He liked the job, and so he did move. Had there been no job, Seth sometimes wondered if he ever would have left.
Outside influence was a great thing, sometimes.
He turned back towards the canine and quirked an eyebrow. "Well, I dunno if you'd be interested, but if you feel like giving the Capital a shot, you're free to come with me. Nothing permanent. Just to... see what you think, you know?[/b]"
