Jade mulled over that for a moment. He supposed he could see the issue. If your entire life was centered around one single purpose -- be it fighting or something else -- what did you do once that path was no longer open? Jade himself had never lacked for options in that regard, having always been interested in just about everything that provided him with sufficient challenge. If it wasn't military or science, he could have easily found something else.

He had seen the loss of purpose in others, though, more than once. It had been fascinating to witness at times. Human beings could find resolve in surprising places after they'd seemingly lost everything.

"Well, whatever happens to Esdham, I have no doubt you'll find your place elsewhere if it comes to that. There will always be a need for skills of your caliber." It wasn't so much a compliment as it was merely a statement. Soldiers were always needed, and even if they weren't, Sephiroth was certainly intelligent enough that he could excel in other areas should he put his mind to it.

For Sephiroth to have gotten so involved with the military purpose of Esdham was like a moth being attracted to a flame; it had indeed given him a direction, a purpose when he'd started to discover just how shaky the foundation of his ego really was. Since then, on several repeat occasions as everything came like waves to break on that used-to-be-solid root of his Sephiroth had always eventually managed to find his balance again. By having that familiar routine there, that structure to his lifestyle that he'd be like a boy in a dark room -fumbling for the light switch- otherwise.

But to hear Jade pass him a comment like that didn't seem to bring any flavor of a response in that instant. It was a fact after all, that solider or not --fighter or not-- Sephiroth had the freedom to mold himself whichever way he wanted. That thought, though he would forever deny it, scared him...it made him even more concerned that he might not be able to choose the right path for himself in the end.

The last thing he'd ever want to do would be to wind up taking the wrong one.

"You're probably right." Though inside he curled in on himself, at the very idea that he might also end up contributing to research. Whereas before Palitutu had revealed herself, cooperation had felt necessary to help them understand what was going on in this world, now the thought of it made him feel a little ill.
