Which means that there are some elements of your power that cannot be explained by current theory.

Although this may lead to a discovery that alters the very fabric of Crest research...

Hanneman

Oh, pardon me, Professor. I became lost in thought, and I do tend to ramble.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I suggest we call it a day. Do you concur?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

No, no, you mustn't push yourself too hard. When you are not in battle, you are so often here with me.

Hanneman
volume_up

I get so energized speaking with you, well, I must remember to pull my head out of the clouds...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

It seems that I have gotten carried away again. My apologies. I know you are quite busy.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I become so energized around you. When we get deep into the research, why, I feel 20 years younger!
link
Hanneman
volume_up

That said, perhaps we should discuss things unrelated to Crests from time to time.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Some sort of silly, light-hearted topic might be nice, eh?
link
Do you have one in mind?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I'm not especially skilled at small talk, alas. Let me see... Perhaps we should discuss... Hmmm...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I know! Food. Not my strong suit, the culinary arts, but I do enjoy a good meal!
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Which kind of food do you prefer, Professor? Sweet or spicy?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Same as myself! Yes, indeed... Oh, now my stomach is growling.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Spicy? Quite the opposite of me.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Yet you're an exception in lots of ways, so it's not altogether surprising...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

An old colleague of mine theorized that those who bear Crests favor sweet flavors over spicy.
link
Hanneman

She suggested that the Crest exerts some manner of influence over...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Oh, there I go again. How embarrassing. We were supposed to be avoiding talk of Crests, weren't we?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Terrible habit of mine, finding a way to turn any conversation towards Crests.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I really should find a way to stop that...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

That is kind of you, Professor, but it's all right.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

If you were to lose your patience with me, it could have an incalculable impact on my research.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

That sort of thing has happened in the past, you know. Back when I was still in the Empire...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

At first, any lady I was spending time with would titter and say she didn't mind if I talked about Crests.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

But at some point, she would always become fed up and stop listening to what I had to say.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

In the end—invariably while I was particularly focused on my research—she would write to say we were done.

You may be a man, but I still don't wish for you to grow tired of my company.
