I've often had the sensation of trying to explain biochemistry to insects since coming here.

[It comes out dry. Yes, age gaps have proven stubbornly frustrating in this. There's no jumping that particular hurdle. It's immutable and insurmountable. He'll have to navigate around it.]

It may prove a waste of time in the end with most of them. Any good scientist draws from a wide sample pool.

Or perhaps it's a bit like prospecting. I'm sure there's some witty metaphor I could dredge if I could bring myself to care enough to recall the process.

At any rate, your perspective was useful. I have a better idea of what not to do next time. It's a start.

Your secret is safe with me.

[His brief chuckle is a bit less rusty than it has been in the past. It has been getting more use these nights.]

Nothing worth doing is worth doing with faint effort. If it isn't all the way, it would be a waste of everyone's time, especially my own.
winstre: (Enough dumb shit for tonight)

Probably for the best. You truly didn't have to come here for this, but you have my gratitude nonetheless.

[He will get better with handling this in time, he's sure, especially with a fresh perspective.]
