Haha! Oh! It's, uhh...well it's less that he...disapproves, and more, uh...

[Varian threads a hand through his hair, pulling at it a little anxiously before eventually letting go.

No...no, it's exactly that. And he knows he can't really talk around it without sounding weird.]

I've caused a lot of...accidents with my work around our home. It's really not on purpose, but...I know he'd be relieved if I came up to him one day and said "Hey dad, guess what, I've decided to give up this whole alchemy and inventing thing and become a good old farmhand just like you, isn't that great?"

[Varian groans, falling back onto the bed with his head hitting the pillow, giving him a view of the few papers he tacked to the ceiling.]

I just want to make him proud of me.
