"You'd hope so," he agrees. "I haven't had much of a chance to go looking."
And what time he's had has been spent on other things than chasing up the latest literature from Earth. Once, there'd have been a time when exploring the poetry of this time period, of the cultures he'd never heard of before, would have been a top priority for Dylan.
The Fall of the Commonwealth and the discovery of the World Ship have changed that. Now his priority is, has to be, his mission. Which means learning whatever he can about the development of the Federation, and which doesn't leave much time for recreational reading.
Not if he's going to do whatever the hell it is he's here to do so he can go back.
He's completely distracted from that by what Marion says next, though. His eyebrows lift, curious, but this isn't the time or place to go into that. Still, it's hard to hide his slight surprise that she says Trance reminds her of a race she knows.
He's only heard anything like that about Trance once, from the Inari, and ... he still doesn't know just what happened then, but he'd been wary as hell after what he'd heard about their civil war.
"Mine gets interesting all the time," he says, ignoring the comment about Trance. For now, but only for now.
