[He's trying not to let him see how that affected him. Perhaps his father truly was the best one to leave Outer Heaven to.]

Now I see where I get it from.

[A pause.]

It's a pleasant sentiment. The first part, at least. The second part... Really, this place is far too quiet. I'm surprised nobody's snapped yet.

I wouldn't necessarily call it quiet....but it's a city. You're reduced to communal violence and the, uh, monsters. And that's not the kind of warfare I specialize in.

...considering the world we came from, this is quiet. There is no war here. No notable enemy. It's unnatural.

It's quiet because you're operating on a much smaller scale. For most other people that aren't very involved in international politics and warfare, I imagine this is already pretty terrible.

This place is more peaceful than almost anywhere else I have been in my entire adult life.

I can't imagine what it must be like for them.

Heh. Never tried the civilian life? Now's the perfect chance. Maybe you'll end up liking it.

I refuse. I have no wish to settle into such a thing.

It probably has less to do with not-want-to and everything with not-being-able-to.

Really, Father, you think there is anything I'm incapable of?

You could live a normal, peaceful life if you wanted to? I tried that before. Didn't work out as planned.

I am not you. I am perfectly capable of settling down. I simply choose not to. It would not be to my interests.

Because you would become restless, or people would drag you back. So either way, you have little choice.

DON'T MISTAKE ME FOR YOU! I AM MORE THAN CAPABLE OF REMAINING IN SUCH A LIFE IF I WANTED TO!

Go on. Let's make it a game. Find an ordinary job. If you're able to keep it a month, you win.
