I'm sure he's got more than enough people already telling him he needs to cut it out. It sounds like he's got good people back home.

[But home was far away from here. Cliff didn't have those people here, he just had a city full of strangers asking him to jump headfirst out of his comfort zone. Kai gave a little shake of his head, looking at Kyoko intently. He was going to stand by this.]

I figured if he wants a buzz, wouldn't here be the safest place? Let him loosen up a little somewhere where we can make sure he's ok, I could get him wherever he wanted to go, stuff like that. If he wants it bad enough, he's gonna find a way to find something. I'd rather he feel okay having a little here where I can keep an eye on him than him off coping alone with whatever he'd have gotten himself into, y'know?
