...you know it's really difficult to believe that, right?
[And he's not being sarcastic - it's fully sincere, and kind of hurt.]
And it's not like we'd ever know, either. Cos the entire time we've known each other, I was already ground zero.
no subject
I know. Only thing you have to go on is my word, which we both know means nothing, and my time here, which I am sure you will write off as me staying under the radar because of big evil plan. But at the moment, it is only thing I have to offer.
[ He's trying to keep his tone neutral. Considering there's a hint of resignation that comes through, it doesn't entirely work. ]
no subject
Okay. So. How do we make your word... matter? 'cos like. We both know it means nothing, but we both want it to mean something.

[ He hates how hopeful he sounds for something that Hilbert thinks might not happen. ]
no subject
Read the room, Oppenheimer. You want me to trust you? I'm gonna keep your good old space plague, and you don't get to experiment on it. We're gonna put your science kit away and you can live with the fact that I am trusting you not to experiment on me.
And if you can do that? Then yeah. That makes your word mean something.
no subject
[ He hopes. He can do this. After all, if he proves to Eiffel that he's trustworthy with regards to this, then he can just take samples later, right? Right! Hopefully!
That being said... ]
You are the one who will have to break news to Hera. I mention that you are keeping Decima, she probably breaks other wrist.

[ Because Hilbert's not an idiot: Eiffel's also gonna get yelled at. ]
