There's a delay in Robbie's response time. He was expecting more than 'nope' and lost in thought for a second, already coming up with brief, smart aleck retorts to whatever overblown defense of scientific dedication that was sure to come.
But then it didn't, so it didn't matter if Robbie hadn't come up with an applicable Revenge of the Nerds quote yet.
He raised an eyebrow at the backwards run. Querl can't really think that that's going to be enough, can he? No way. Robbie didn't need his powers to catch up. He ran a few yards down the hall and, that fast, put himself close enough to grab the Legionnaire by the arm. "Come on! You don't have a five minute long explanation for why you can't! You know you're only going to spin around in your hoverchair, and this'll be cooler. I can't tell you how awesome it's going to be, because the welcome packet doesn't have anything on what the UP has for fun - I bet that's your fault. There isn't even a welcome packet. Hording all the clubs and parties for yourself."
Robbie grinned more widely. He enjoyed being able to get on a verbal roll. It made everything fall into place, and the path just appeared while his mouth went on autopilot. "You should make me your plus one. It ain't a party 'til Speedball shows up."
