Hmm. He looked pensive for a short time. "If it's your opinion, hearing it aloud, may be helpful to work around those biases," Roman answered, it was an open offer. Teaching younger people demanded patience and, even if this man didn't seem impatient, he couldn't picture him very tolerant to teenagers' antics. But most of the contact with teenager stereotypes he had through television and his sight. He probably felt a pang of regret now he couldn't raise his children, beyond leaving advises and teachings. That was being a teacher, instead of a father. Nonetheless, the concept of 'fatherhood' still didn't develop in him properly, and wouldn't until the day when he finally meets Mashu.

"Oh, no general practitioner, but I'm doing a couple of specialties to work around my weak points," he admitted with a half smile. It was to brace himself, he knew that attending the sick required to comfort them and with his own emotional range and his penchant to flight when he's confronted with something emotionally upsetting...

His eyes widened. Ah, Marisbilly hadn't said a thing? He would, in the future, control how expressively open he was. But not when his emotions were so fresh and so new to restrain them. He brought a hand to his mouth. Should he say something else?

"It's his project, Marisbilly's--" He took a deep breath. "Chaldea is named after a group of people who settled in the Middle East," he elaborated if he didn't know the origin of the word. In Freemansory, Chaldeans were known as exceptional builders who assisted and served King Solomon in building his temple; they were also tasked to search for the Holy Grail during the Middle Ages. As inaccurate that was, it was as a symbolic label. "'To be able to see if the lights of civilization would still shine from a century from now', that's what he told me. If they don't, we have to pinpoint the cause of the potential disasters and stop them."
