It was in that moment, sitting across from Ignatius he was once again reminded how much it must suck to be as big as him. The student was slowly considering maybe buying a larger chair just for him, but then that might look out of place in and of itself considering his older relative didn't live there. It was a dilemma he'd address later(maybe). He thanked God he won the lottery with his form, which he rated about as dangerous as a large cat given its arsenal. He only grew a literal inch taller when he did it as well.

He nodded in agreement at his uncle's words. It was really a principal life lesson but hearing it from someone he considered a role model drove it more home than it already had been. "Well, I'm always up for new challenges, you should know that by now," he smiled. Pushing himself was just something he did. He remembered the first time he had transformed, or rather forced himself to do it back when he was ten. That seemed to be the catalyst to his work ethics he had today.

"It's weird, I've been giving it serious thought especially since this is my last year. I'm not totally sure. I can say I want to do something that will help the community on a more local level. After taking so many odd jobs and running deliveries I can say that much for certain. But I'm still not quite sure," as he said this Zwart got out of his bed and made his way over to Ignatius, sniffing at his feet before sitting down in front of him, staring with a wagging tail and eager eyes. It seemed the little wolf had taken a liking to the guest, or in his mind "pack member".

"I thought I'd be more positive about it than this, and it's my last year too. I'm running out of time," he frowned still thinking about his indecisiveness.

Ignatius would have been disappointed if he didn't push himself. There were precious few things he disliked more than people who did nothing for themselves and simply lived on the family name. Even as the head of the family there was very little he could do about those sorts of people, but the fact that they even existed was downright irritating for him.

He wasn't going to rush him to pick. As much as he disliked idleness, someone throwing themselves into something they weren't sure of was just a waste of everyone's time and money. "You are, from the sounds of it, waiting for inspiration to strike. It might not even strike on it's own - you might have to seek it out." Wanting to do something for the community sounded fairly high minded, and Ignatius took a moment to consider. "I suppose you'd be best of picking a problem in the community, and then trying to come up with a way to improve it." Everyone had their pet causes, and for the most part they were all equally legitimate. Ignatius himself had over the years picked several pet causes, although the closest thing he had to a cause right then was the tragic underfunding of the police department. There was never enough money to go around, and the Manta Carlos Police Department had a whole lot of needs that the average police department never would.

He nodded, knowingly. Alo was so glad he had an uncle that didn't spout out the same useless nothings the career advisers at the school did. Still what problem to settle on was a good question. He wasn't really home much during the day as it stood at that point anyway with the exceptions of off days. "I'll have to remember to poke around a bit the next time I'm out for my jobs," he said after giving it brief thought.

But that was enough about him for now, he sat up a bit in his chair. Life was keeping him fairly busy but he was sure that went doubly so for Ignatius and the family business. "How are things at the firm doing now?" he had to ask. If there was something bad happening at the firm it would be in all of the papers. But even with nothing bad happening there might be something noteworthy happening.

Ignatius was not often the shrugging type, but he did tend to nod a lot, and he nodded at Aloysius's admission that he'd look into it. "In the end, there's no rush. As much as life won't wait for you, you're in a comfortable enough position that you won't be doing without if you can't find yourself a purpose." Technically, almost any member of the Paltiel family could likely live a life without ever working a day. Ignatius wouldn't be happy with any member of his family doing it, but the possibility still existed.

"Things are going fine. We bought out another small company, but it wasn't one particularly notable. Just a startup that might have gotten in the way." Easier to absorb a company into the greater whole then to let them become a nuisance and have to deal with them later. "We'll be picking it apart and building whatever is useful in, and then cutting the rest lose." Which was a job, and he eyed Aloysius thoughtfully. "If we end up picking any engineering firms, I'll let you know."
