Gladly, it has all the right elements- minor and major explosions, threats of exile, academic misconduct on multiple levels. [meaning it was a fun story rather than a depressing one, which he thinks they could both use a little more of when it comes to their own worlds.
which speaking of,] And I would like to hear about a time blowing up bones of any sort was the solution to something in your life. [necromancy is weird, sorry.
the idea of pal being a terror to the board is a pleasant one, it makes him think of heimendinger having to deal with pal and that is wonderful. he really does care about the professor, promise, just he can't help but root for the one actually moving things forward.]
We would all loathe it if the work was done. [a shrug. he would, at least.] Just better if the work was less eh... dire each time. Less time fixing, more time creating.
[ah just more watching pal fondly, glancing away before he gives himself completely away like a fool by watching him laugh so softly.] That sounds like a challenge, how can I slip work into casual home conversation without you realizing I've done so? I am up for that task.
[his attention returns to pal, a touch more serious this time and a beat before he says,] I'd also appreciate keeping an ear out for anything or anyone who can help with my illness. I think it is time to be more proactive than I have been on that front. [wow a two shot here of actually talking about it because he trusts pal and the far gayer 'i want to make sure we have more time together' reason.]
