He's not about to throw all of that out the window just because time seems to have gone strangely or because of this strange new world they've found themselves in.

I agree. [A soft smile despite what he says next.] Or anyone else for that matter. Strange people from unfamiliar worlds all competing for the same prize. It's a risk I wouldn't accept blindly.

[Some healthy caution even around each other, until they're truly sure of things isn't entirely out of the cards either, but that doesn't need to be said to be understood. Especially considering who it is he's talking to.]
