[ Serious conversation, but the good smells are only increasing. Pancakes! Next to omurice, it’s one of his childhood comfort foods. He takes a sip of his coffee to distract from his mouth watering. And it’s… really good, actually! The cream is rich, and the coffee underneath has a fine, full flavor. Longer sip, closing his eyes for this one.
Fortunately, he's not so distracted as to lose track of the conversation. It brings a few questions to mind, like the fact that thus far, this world isn’t suited to technological lifeforms. A tank or giant robot would stand out right away… and may not survive long depending on what it encountered. But also, if it panicked, how much damage it could cause. Or if an AI would be smart enough to lay low and adapt.
It’s a big forest with unexplored wastelands beyond. When Tenn lets his imagination run off with him, he too wonders about what might be found at Here There Be Dragons. ]
No. It's a good warning to have. We're doing our best to suppress Noctaere transformations, and now the Erasers. But we shouldn't drop our guard and assume that's all that's out there.
[ Brightening again because, yes, those pancakes do look 100% as good as they smell, especially now that he’s catching the berry and citrus notes. (Is that going to stop him from living his honey galaxy dreams? Nope. Jar being opened.) His smile returns, led by anticipation, though his tone retains a solemn touch. ]
We can only focus on what's in front of us. But as we address one thing at a time, we're free to prepare for the next. It's why I want to make as much progress as we can now.
