Ben's not sure he's ever met someone who so immediately and accurately articulated why it was awful to him. The fame. The surveillance at home. Genji seems to understand for some reason that horror of being observed and remarked on, and Ben wonders why. But there's no way to really ask that without being super invasive, so. He'll just have to wonder for now.
He wrinkles his nose theatrically when Genji lists influence and power as potential bonuses of being famous. Of course, he's not wrong for many people and Ben's sure there are plenty for whom those things would be a dream. But he'd never wanted all that. ]
Overrated. I'll take a little peace and quiet any day.
[ Ben's eyes drift back to that stack of comics on the table, then to Genji once again. ]
If you... want something better to read than those, we found a library in this place a few months back. It's not much, but I sorta run it, and I've got a masterlist of books there you can look through. Not a lot of comics, but plenty that's entertaining.
