[With a sigh of exasperation she lets him go, and rolls over onto her back. Eyes gaze up at the ceiling of the pod as Rin wonders if 'just this' is enough to satisfy things.]
Are you sure you'd actually want to come back with me? It'd also mean not seeing anyone else around here too.
[He pauses to rub his cheek, looking over her features as she stares at the ceiling.]
Ain't it better if they go home? If they've got nowhere better to go... well, guess I can't go inviting just anyone.
[There was only one person he had sincerely offered before this, and only one person who had made an offer to him. Everyone else... well, it was probably better that way.]
Together, hm? I wouldn't be surprised if some people eventually decide to stay here. Their worlds unappealing to return home to, and not really caring to join someone else back where they're going. Would you rather stay or go back to your place?
[She turns her head slightly to look at him while waiting for his reply.]
I was really gung ho about stayin' here when I first showed up.
[His recollection isn't exact- it wasn't until another person he cared for told him that he pivoted to the idea of staying here. If certain people were here, he could thrive in this chaos-rich environment.]
Like, y'know, plenty of people move to new cities when they become adults. What's so different about moving to a new world?
[his tail leisurely curls over the edge of his leg,]
... at least if I go back with you no one's gonna get spirited away... turned into a stupid statue with nothing to do about it.
Yea, even unlicensed people are probably gonna double-take if the one treatin' them's all fuzzy...
[It's a strange little admission that, despite how he claims to hate doctors, he still envisions himself working as one. It's his hobby, he insists. It's all he has sometimes.]
Guess you, [a little lean forward, cold nose boop] gotta figure out how to handle me bein' bored!
[Brat. Rin decides to shift a bit so she can reach those huge, fluffy ears of his. Curling her lips in to blunt her teeth, Rin quickly catches that soft ear in her mouth for a mock-bite.
She's sure teaching him some basic magecraft that can be accomplished without a crest will keep him busy.]

We can miss 'em together.

That's true. In fact you might almost find my world boring.
[Unlikely. Even Rin doesn't know how deep the the roots of the Mage's Association go.]
