Fabian huffs a little bit, though it seems to be good natured, since he adds: "Don't worry about that. I am many things, but also far from a scholar."

By which Fabian means, in more colorful wording than necessarily, I wouldn't understand even if you did try to explain it in a scientific way. He's definitely not part of the nerd smarter half of his group..

"I guess it's just.. fascinating, in a sense. It's strange to think of how certain worlds need a certain thing to exist, but others do fine without it." And even though Gaia isn't a scholar, she does seem willing to engage in conservation like this, clearly. So he can't help but throw her a curious look and ask: "Do you think it means anything?"
