Considering a transfer, are you? [he muses, knowing the other Springtide cities wouldn't appeal to Oscar in the slightest. They were deeper in the caves and closer to the sea, but felt so far away they may as well not exist at all. Each had it's own regional cultural differences that were... genuinely infuriating to deal with. Like seeing a painting, then looking at a crude copy, then looking at a third, even worse copy. Sure, they may create the same broad picture, but all the details are just a bit wrong on the other two.

Oscar hates paintings, he'd hate even that comparison. Silas scoffed again]

You'd overstay your welcome before even arriving.
