[It is your day off. As much of one as you have anyway. You spent the day easily enough but now it's three in the morning and there is a phone call. One of your Turks. Telling you that there's a tiny problem with something and won't you please come deal with it

That...seems so not fun.

[fingersloophole]

All part of the job. Or so I tell myself.

[breakspromises]

Seems like you're a babysitter.

[fingersloophole]

He's all grown up now. That was...many years ago. I was for a time.

[breakspromises]

I hope you got paid well. Or at least got some new clothes.

[fingersloophole]

He grew up and took over and my Turks stopped dying for stupid reasons. It was entirely worth it. I have several new suits to replace that one. I believe I burned it.

She's gonna send you a sympathy card, Tseng.

[breakspromises]

I'd burn that suit too.

[fingersloophole]

Children can be...very volatile. With their fluids.

[breakspromises]

That is the nice way of putting it.

[fingersloophole]

Perhaps this is why I never reproduced. [He thinks he didn't, at least.]

[breakspromises]

Not all kids are bad. [Steph is an awesome daughter....sometimes.]

[fingersloophole]

My children would be atrocious. Or locked in a briefcase.

[breakspromises]

I think that would be considered child abuse.

[fingersloophole]

I wouldn't mean to lock them in the briefcase. I simply doubt I would ever put family matters before work. Therefore I never had a family so I never had to choose.

[breakspromises]

You never thought of settling down and have a family? [Stop being a workaholic, Tseng]

[fingersloophole]

[Never!] At one point, perhaps. Most Turks do not have families and it is wiser that way. I had a child to raise into something. That was enough.
