Sadly, the closest he'll ever come to having a nifty staff like Clef's is his sonic screwdriver! And extrapolating too far? Pfft, there is no such thing. Not for him. She's lucky too; she's been spared a lot of science/technobabble talk that would definitely no longer remind her of her math teacher.

It is interesting she still feels that way! It's what I've been going for with him: opening up a little, but still keeping so much to himself--but it's hardly done to deceive people. It's more like...the less people know about him, the less chance they have of A) wanting to get closer to him, and B) getting hurt as a result.
