    Dirt Nap nods, taking in that the value of what he offered is the main objection from Jack.

    "Well. I have a few things I am learning for now, so it wouldn't be something I am in a rush for." He says, reflection on the irony of not being in a hurry to learn how to move with extreme quickness.

    "I actually had an offer to teach me from someone that it wouldn't be polite to remind." Dirt Nap muses thoughtfully. "'Course it might not be polite to learn from someone else in the meantime, neither."

    "I still don't really catch what you mean, by 'conquering the Beast' then. It might be too philosophical for me."
    Dirt Nap observes.

    Goes by Jack.

    Educated, scholarly, lawyer, scientist.
    Jack's outward demeanor and tone are a baseline of respectful and calculated.

    He actively debates, persuades, negotiates and even at time tries to intimidate, as core skills of any lawyer worth his salt.

    Jacque grins at the irony but then responds to his subsequent statement, "I'm not certain I understand what you mean by it not being polite to remind?" He shrugs his shoulders, "It seems to be if someone offered, it would be on you to communicate when you wish to redeem that offer." He flicked his fingers in the air, "I've seen offense caused for lessor things, so I would definitely consider it."

    "It really isn't. Have you not wondered what it would be like with all of the benefits and none of the downsides?" He smirked as he looked outwards to the fields, "That's always been the goal, though I've grown so used to it being there now."

    Dirt Nap shrugs. "It wouldn't be respectful to make it more clear." He says, apologetically cryptic in tone.

    He nods at the advice that it could indeed give offense to learn from someone else.

    Dirt Nap is still and listens as Jack describes his goal. "Well. I can't say as I've thought of it that way myself." He says. "But it's definitely understandable." He agrees. "Thank you for explaining it to me."

    He decides not to explain that he doesn't tend to see the upside in what most would call the benefits of their existence. There's not need to be insulting to another man's vision, even if it isn't meant that way.

    "I 'spose you likely have all the time you need to work it out."

    Jacque grinned with an air of mischief, "Don't we both?" A call back to the earlier musings of immortality. "Though our time for the night seems to be drawing to a close. Is there anything else I can answer for you before she escorts you back out?" A motion to the same woman who led Dirt Nap in. It appears this pet did not have a name... or at least one worth mentioning.

    Sorry the weekend got a little busy for me, but it looks like the scene was drawing to a natural close along with there only being a day left. Great scene!

    Dirt Nap nods, and gets up slowly, without any sudden motions.

    "Thank you, sir for a real interesting night." He says. "I appreciate it. Your time, and giving your thoughts. There's a lot, for me to chew on."

    He ponders what he's learned about Jack, or at least about what Jack wanted to tell him. It does seem like he was wanted here as much or more to hear what Jack wanted him to hear than to answer Jack's questions, at least, to tell him much he didn't already know about. It was not an interrogation, for sure and for certain, whatever it was. Probably an openin' move or some kind; something that'll clear up with time to develop. That had been a recurring theme tonight, the idea that they both had plenty of time.

    Thank you for the scene! It was awesome, interesting and fun!

    "My pleasure," Jacque offered as he rose to see him to the door before the woman took over guiding to the exit. "You know how to reach me if you find yourself needing anything."
