[The more Llewellyn heard, the more he couldn’t help but think that Aerith was the sort he could get along with. Working with her would certainly not be dull…] I confess that I’ve been accused of that myself once in a while, it’s not an easy thing to uh— learn.
[He’d worked on that though, or at least tried to be gentler about his pushing.
Of course, Llewellyn had to pause and think over what she said next. The way that she’d phrased it almost made him wonder what she meant,] Mm… It’s good to have plans, and finding a variety of sources for information is smart? I find networks— or the tellphones here, tend to be the best sources of information. If someone finds something, they tend to spread it there first. And, of course, you may think of some I haven’t? The nice thing about having so many people from other places is that everyone tends to have different ideas based on their own experiences.
[His tone shifted a little, something soft that suggested he understood that it was an adjustment to suddenly have more friends in your life. Everything had been such an adjustment in the last world. He’d gone from feeling like the few he had in his own world were slipping through his fingers, to suddenly being around so many who seemed to want to know him better and accept him as he was. ] I can understand that… It’s strange to go from having so few people to a lot, almost something to get used to remember there are people you can turn to? But it’s definitely nice.
[You don’t learn anything if you aren’t nosy, and as long as Aerith didn’t as him about topics that made him uncomfortable? He’d be happy to answer.] I was in a running club in my world. I found that it kind of helped to quiet the mind? No one really knew each other well, but it was nice to do something with a group.
[The question of subjects gets a small hum] I’m not particularly good with anything to do with engineering, or chemistry I suppose… I try to pay attention when a colleague of mine tries to explain something, but I confess I get rather distracted most of the time.
[To be fair to Llewellyn, Detective Murdoch was not known for being particularly engaging at times. People had reportedly fallen asleep during his lectures on finger prints. Depending on how long winded and technical people got, Llewellyn could either pay attention or simply found his thoughts wandering off and his attention span flying out the window.]
