Laugh all you want, I've never had anyone who's actually been able to... you know, connect in that way. We've been able to build things together and he never expects anything back, which is super-frustrating when I just ask if he knows where I can find parts to do something or another and he starts dismantling his own tech to provide it. We both have the same feelings about magic...

[Science guys. But the matter of magic does make him frown, mildly conflicted. That's another mystery and he's not sure he wants to bring it up, at least not just yet.]
