[ Eliot does notice the sudden tension. He's paying close attention while trying to look like he's not and so he sees the moment it passes through Jason, bottom to top, like a wave. It takes conscious effort on his part to not tense up either, especially since it doesn't take much for him to realise that it was the daddy comment that caused reaction in the first place. Daddy issues, but that's not so surprising; there isn't a man he knows that don't have plenty of those so it's easy enough to let it slide, move onto the next topic. ]

Nah, other side of the pond. [ It's said with a little twist of his mouth, unable to use the phrase without remembering his own expat, Sophie. Without realising all over again that he's here—wherever the hell here is—and his team is not and the odds of them making it without him don't look so good. ] But I didn't spend much time birdwatching. What about you? You can't be a day over twenty, kid. Your expat get you started?

[ No judgement. At least, not yet. Sometimes the happiest path isn't the straight and narrow one. But Eliot's not too fond of the whole child endagerment thing. ]
