"Nope." Robbie over-enunciated the word, popping the P obnoxiously.
He wanted to let it stand there to prove that he was content to wait out that stare with a smile on his face, but he knew it wouldn't go over well. If he was to convince Querl to hang out with him, Robbie thought he'd have to demonstrate that he could amuse himself and carry the conversation as needed. Brainy didn't seem the type for small talk. "I don't know if you've picked up on this, but humans are really social creatures. A bunch of scientists did a study that compared Earth animals' brains to their relative group sizes? Turns out humans need about 150 people in their sphere to be content."
Ha, Robbie currently had perhaps a tenth of that - and that was at home. "You have to pull your weight and interact with me, or I'll shrivel up and die. Besides, I can't hang out with just the New Warriors. I'm supposed to integrate, right? This is me integrating."
