Maybe they'll show up here and I'll get a history lesson. [ He'd be surprisingly down for that. If it could help with cultural exchange. And perhaps currency exchange.... ]

That's gotta be it. 'Cause it took this long to even feel like being friends was possible, but it's not like I'm gonna give up or anything, yeah?
