[He fusses with his arm wraps, ones he's had to make since coming here so they're a little uncomfortable around his boneblades.] "Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius. Send your ships into uncharted seas. Live at war with your peers and yourselves. Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer. At long last the search for knowledge will reach out for its due, it will want to rule and possess, and you with it." [It's one of his favorite quotes. He fidgets a little more with the wrap, before shrugging.]
