I've had a long time to get over childhood fears. And the Nevrons probably ate them all.

[superniceone]

I suppose you'd be the expert.

[a long, awkward pause, and then:]

So. Expedition Zero, huh. That's really something.

[ahh, the elephant in the room is addressed at last. verso exhales, long and slow, and types with a wry twist at the corner of his mouth]

Suppose it is. You have questions.

[superniceone]

[more than anything, gustave hopes there will be time for questions. he's just not convinced yet that it's right now.]

I'm occasionally called something of a history nerd, you see.

Really? You hide it so well.

[superniceone]

I do my best.

[as if. he'll just continue on with a conviction he absolutely does not have:]

But I was hoping you'd have a chat with my students when we make it back. They'd go bananas, I think.

[dualiso]

Sure. When we make it back. [what's one more empty promise?]Assuming you don't decide I'd be a terrible influence between now and then.

[superniceone]

Maybe we'll agree on a script beforehand.

[his students were about as close as he'd gotten to having children of his own; he misses them.]

They're clever kids. I have them to thank for this arm, you know.
