His parents had always encouraged him to pursue his interests and it had so happened that he continued in his father’s footsteps. With that being said, he hadn’t been overly close to them to the point that moving away had been difficult. He’d spent all those years in an Arctic archipelago anyway. The mug had just been their attempt at telling him that they were proud of him. “Yes” he replied, not sure whether her statement had required any further response.
Now she was talking HIS language. What Mikkel lacked in normal conversational skills, he more than made up for in droning on about his favourite things. He struggled in knowing when to stop though, or the level of comprehension of his companion, or when others were just being polite by trying to engage him and didn’t actually care for what he had to say. “Yes. My cup isn’t the best visual representation but if you look at the original photograph from the Hubble Telescope you’ll be able to see a smaller blue galaxy in the ‘tadpole’s’ head. That is an interloper and its interaction with UGC 10214 resulted in strong gravitational forces creating the ‘tail’ of debris we see today.” He paused, thinking he had probably said enough even if it was she who had started the conversation. “Space is incredible. She holds the answers to the past, present and future of our existence.” He understood that Astronomy wasn’t for everyone but it was worth a little investment of everyone’s time.
“I studied Astronomy and Cosmology in Reykjavik and then spent twelve years at the Kjell Henriksen Observatory on Svalbard.” And now? Well now he was an Unspeakable.
The discussion had meant Mik hadn’t even flinched when that personal space boundary was invaded even more and the woman had planted herself on the arm of the sofa. It wasn’t until she had moved off to fill up her rather unique mug choice, that he had noticed her proximity. “That handle looks like an accident waiting to happen” He attempted a little chuckle. “You must have a great grip.” Was that a strange thing to say? Probably.
