[ He's feeling smaller. 122 years of life and feels so tiny, so lacking in knowledge about the world beside her ]
Uhmm, I've always liked history, Ma'am. [ Because of Eisenstein. Closest thing he ever got to understanding bits of his past. And only of the Greco-Roman period because that's as far as he knows about how old his creator was. Big ol' shield and mastery of gladius and pilum, go figure. He has nooooo idea how old Eisenstein really was. ] It got me as close to how the world of people - humans - played out.
[ A pause ] I like period books too. The more romanticized micro perspective of history, albeit fictional. [ Of Mice and Men and Man from La Mancha are his favorites. You can pry it out. ]
[ This last one he's a bit sheepish about now. Loud and proud geek. Suddenly afraid it'll look small and childish to the Lady of the Night. ] And well... comics. [ A beat. The last bit comes out a mumbled whisper ] They made me believe in the ideal.
