[Huh, how to answer that... Oda hasn't really focused so much on the whole bonding aspect of being here, but that isn't to say he should ignore it completely. More than that, he's really been struggling to find purpose.
Which is part of why Oda came to this sort of event in the first place, even if it does seem like a bit of a shot in the dark at this point.]
Can't say that I have, but who knows what tonight will bring?
[Oda properly places his glass on the table.]
I doubt I'm nearly as established as you are, so best I cast a wide net.
[ viren would be nowhere near as established here as he would like (despite the knowledge that their circumstances would be temporary), but he knows that isn't the point of the comment. ]
It is.
[ a simple nod of affirmation. ]
You don't have reservations, as many here seem to have, about forming bonds, then—?
[ phrased more of a statement, less a question, even if he doesn't have enough to go off to make a solid conclusion of that. ]
