I've noticed the trend towards asking our fellow transports philosophical questions on this network. While I can't say I particularly see the appeal, there is something about which I am curious of others' opinions.

Namely - how would you define a home?

If it's not something you'd wish to talk about, there's no point in answering; similarly, I don't mind answering, myself, for the curious - it's only polite when asking, after all.

( before anyone bothers with either of those points. homes aren't something he's thought about in years, really, fairly certain of the fact that he doesn't have one anymore; but after eight months or more in exsilium...he's starting to, a little bit. )

I couldn't agree more.

( that's a little frank, but it isn't as though judge petrov wouldn't be aware why he thinks so )

[Yuri nods. He doesn't see the need to bring up uncomfortable truths. He himself hasn't had a home for a long time.]

But with something so subjective, the definition will vary. Maybe it even changes with time.

Now, my own home is in Sternbild, working for the Administration of Justice, where I can make a difference. My work is what matters to me. But I suppose that makes me sound like something of a workaholic. [He gives a slight smile.]

Not at all, ( he says with an obliging smile, all courtesy ) simply a very dedicated and hard-working man. Something to be admired, in fact.

I thank you. You're too kind.

It's true that I'm dedicated to my work. I've always wanted to help people, so I'm glad I'm able to serve them in some capacity.

A purpose could be enough of a home, in its way. For those who need one. [Of course, his own purpose is killing criminals, which would ruin some of the sentiment, but fortunately no one knows that.]

( that's not something he's ever thought in as many words, but it does - strike a familiar sentiment. )

That seems like an abstract way to think of one.
