At least until the man’s head tilts. Unconsciously Dimitri’s own head ticks to the side as well, but a little further than the other’s did. So, it is to be a question then.

Dimitri must keep moving, must keep busy, and must not bother this stranger with his issues- of which he knows he has plenty. He swallows then strives for an easy tone. ]
I think passions should be encouraged, particularly when it comes to intellectual pursuits. A great many things would not have been discovered were it not for curious minds. Plagues cannot be beaten by brute strength.
