Taking the scenic route to the point is no nevermind to Seoraj; it's more interesting that way, and it's more the point of conversation, to him. Direct answers are fine, too, but sometimes they leave a little something to be desired - context, flavour...well, at the end of the day, he likes stories just as much as he likes people.

And he does like them quite a bit, too - the answer gets a chuckle out of him, companionable, and a smile that lingers. "It wouldn't be much of a world without 'em." Considering Baedal, for a moment, he adds, "Whatever shape they happen to come in."
