[Point of clarification: saying that going to the cafe would be less appealing was actually meant in reply to Yzak's statement about being unsure if he wanted to keep working here; his buddy being here is half the reason why it's worth stopping in. If Yzak stayed, he would definitely still make the time to come out and visit.

But all that's moot anyway, because Dearka's bound to support whatever career changes Yzak sets his mind to. He shrugs.]

Hey, it's up to you. I think it's good for you to be out here with boots on the ground... See what the citizens have to say about things. But I can also appreciate the desire to apply your talents elsewhere.

[He grins deviously, tipping his drink towards Yzak in a little 'cheers!' gesture.]

I would miss seeing you in the cute widdle ears though.

[Teasing to disguise the fact that he does actually think Yzak looks adorable in them, genuinely: a classic move.]
