Oh, is that what you meant? My apologies. [ YOU KNEW WHAT HE MEANT ] Yes, it is rather nice, if a bit stifling.
[ he leans forward a bit, propping his chin in his hand. he's smiling his nice holy smile but there's something so mischievous about it. ] And what about you?
He has the vibe of, like, wanting to pull a jacket closer over himself to create some form of modest protection from the Cheshire cat questioning. HELLO?]
Ah... It's... alright, I suppose? [Wait, what is Temenos getting at?!?!] --The ship, I mean.
It's quite amazing from an engineering perspective, but it's a bit overwhelming at first.
Yes. We refined hex crystals and created Hextech. The crystals power tools to make work and life easier for others. Gauntlets for the miners. The Hex Claw for artificers.
And the Hexgates. For quick, planetary travel between cities.
Ah. [ right, he mentioned the hexgates before. traveling from place to place. ] Technology does march on, doesn't it... And here I thought Partitio and co were on the cutting edge.
[ oh to be a ye olde. there's a faint chuckle, though, and he picks up his drink, examining viktor thoughtfully. ] So, this situation of planetary travel is not so strange to you. Perhaps you'll give us all a primer.
[He feels like he's being questioned by the Council on his doctorate dissertation. Or, you know, Hextech. That's the vibe Temenos is giving him.]
Hextech has thrown Runeterra far ahead of what it once was.
[So he understands.]
Well, I don't know if I would go that far, but the applications seem similar. The Hexgates only work from city to city on one world. We hadn't even worked out the mathematics for theories of space travel.
lbx would love this guy, is my current opinion. temenos also thinks this is entertaining, which is unfortunate, but his curiosity is genuine. ]
The mathematics for theories of space travel. [ he repeats this phrase with a soft chuckle, shaking his head. god this is beyond him. this is not his type of nerdery. ] You most certainly are a scholar.
[ cute. this time when temenos smiles, it's much less teasing and bullying and more genuine. ]
Now that, I am glad to hear.
[ on both accounts, really. ]
All teasing aside, that's an excellent mindset to have. Providing false information merely gets you caught for lying, in the end, even with the best of intentions. But I expect you will learn what's correct and what isn't? At that point, I would, perhaps, enjoy to hear your take on the technology around us.

anyway he is just listening! wow! maybe he's engaging you in conversation! ]
I see. Engineering - is that what you do? Outside of this place.
no subject
Something... like that. I'm an inventor. I left the Academy to become someone's research partner.
no subject
Oh? A scholar.
[ he can see it by the everything ]
And what sorts of things have you invented, Viktor? Has your partnership been successful?
no subject
BY THE EVERYTHING?]
Yes. We refined hex crystals and created Hextech. The crystals power tools to make work and life easier for others. Gauntlets for the miners. The Hex Claw for artificers.

Yes.
[THE MATHEMATICS OF SPACE TRAVEL! As if Temenos wasn't exhausted hearing such a wild thing.]
It is something I've always had an affinity for.
no subject
[ hehe? ] The rest of us who live in the proverbial past will be counting upon you, so do learn quickly.
no subject
Le-Lessons? I'm... I'm not a professor. Some of this technology is even beyond... [HELP HIM.] I would need the right tools to even study it!
no subject
[ what does this mean ]
In terms of knowledge, at least.
no subject
Helping the less fortunate has always been my intentions.
[FIRSTLY,,,,]
But I will not... simply hand out wrong information. That helps no one.

I'm not sure what use I would possibly be, [or if he could even speak in layman's terms] but... I intend to learn what I can.

[ teehee ] How wonderful.

I think you've giving me too much credit here...
