[Trying not to laugh again. Not about what Scien says exactly. This man is so stupid while being very brilliant. AS IF VIKTOR ISN'T THE SAME. HE DOESN'T LAUGH, but still.]
A lifetime for yourself and pursuits and now maybe a lifetime enjoying being alive?
I know, but you should try to at least enjoy some of it. Even though you hopefully have plenty of more authentic years now, you don't want to miss out on even some of them with the person you care about.
[Look. He's still the very emotional one between the two of them.]
Are they going back with you? Depending on how all of this goes.
I think it's less that and more... just amiable conversation. Though I don't begrudge you for not caring about small talk. That's why Jayce was the face of Hextech. I'm bad with small talk, and I hate parties.
[Very funny that he will now experience yet ANOTHER party.]
[He is quiet for a long moment, tying to think of how he wants to respond.]
I di... I didn't think I did. I was sad when I was young, that the other children avoided me, that I couldn't play with them because I couldn't go where they went, couldn't swim. But later... I didn't think about it.
Creating, getting into the Academy... it's the only thing that mattered. But I guess... after Jayce, after... here... it would be difficult to... go back to a life without others nearby.

No, no. You're not a moron. You were always just...
[TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW HE WANTS TO SAY...]
Yourself.
no subject
I have been myself for over eighty years.
Ideally, I will be myself for only eighty more.

You drastically underestimate the number of headaches I have to deal with upon returning home. I have my work cut out for me for at least ten years.

[even if we don't get worldhopping, scien is confident he can replicate the technology in a few months]
Don't lecture me on how to handle my relationship. I don't tell you how to look after your gremlin.
no subject
Well, you did bully me into returning words he had given me first. It wasn't a lecture, promise. We're trying to work on your friendly conversation.
no subject
[jUST NO]

Come now, you can't rely on Dahut forever.

I have no interest in being friendly for the sake of lip service. People's bruised egos have nothing to do with me.

Some company is fine in bursts, but I'm not some lonely person who needs to be trained into friendship like some other maladjusted wrecks around here.
no subject
I suppose this includes me as well?
no subject
I don't know. You seem like you crave relationships with other people.

I do not feel the same.

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

[he thinks that is what makes him fundamentally different from viktor, or anyone else who tries to get scien to lighten up]
I don't. I already have all the relationships I could ask for.
