Status: Open

[There are some people who don't mind getting soaked to the skin. There are some people who do mind it. Stein is one of those people who acts a bit like a wet cat, removing his lab coat and shaking it out, carding his hands through his hair and trying to flick out the water, and making an annoyed expression at the general wetness involved in arriving in Vatheon.

This does mean that the tall, scarred man with the metal bolt stuck through his head is not exactly looking where he's going.]

[circumsutus]

Oh? Did you do anything then that you wouldn't have done if those years were real?

[symmetrophile]

[Is it terrible that he has to really consider that question before he answers it?

No, as he looks critically at this, he can't see how his response might have been different, the baffling sentiments still as strong and confusing; that may have comforted him, if not for the fact that he continues to be as at a loss of what to do about it as he was before.]

...Not particularly.

[circumsutus]

Then what's the harm of letting yourself learn from it?

[symmetrophile]

I don't think I particularly like what I've learned.

[GOSH THIS IS COMPLICATED. If only he could change the subj--HERE WE GO!

Kid has come to an abrupt halt, but the reason becomes clear when he follows this up with:]

We've arrived, Professor.

[circumsutus]

You don't have to like every lesson.

[All right, all right, he'll let the subject change.]

Very nice.
