ON MAN -- Vern spends a lot of time trying to explain the 95% of stuff in the world that Geir doesn't understand to Geir too as they run into it (it doesn't always go well, and it's not going to go well at Spellbind start since they'll both have no clue what's going on, but he tries). It might actually be easier for him to lighten up around someone who is patient with his hissing but . . . also registers as confused the same way Geir does sometimes since it's a more familiar paradigm?? I would be super down for this.
