Seto listens, reaching over to gently pat Snapper. She coos and blinks her big eyes up at him....yeah, it's okay, he's still her partner. And she's his baby, which is funny to think about given the trajectory of the conversation.

"Springing into the world as full adults...that's strange to think about," Seto admits, though honestly? He didn't have much of a childhood, so that would almost apply to him. Almost.

"Where I'm from, it's...hazier. Everyone is born and goes through infancy and childhood stages, but we evolved slowly from the simplest of life forms over millions of years. From small amoeba to smaller animals, to larger animals...and eventually humans. We don't have elders like that."

He sighs softly. "But it's good that you have such an interesting family. And a colorful story."
