It's odd--he expects him to say as much, and yet when he does, it's still surprising to hear it said out loud. That's...yeah, a lot of power. A lot of responsibility. Definitely a burden.
"Yeah, that does makes sense." He takes a seat on the bench--he can't hide the grin that ghosts across his face because that's just the coolest thing--as he turns serious again, when he sits and listens.
"I don't know, you're doin' a pretty good job at being a plant to me," he points to the bench with a smile, even though he knows that what he means runs deeper than that. It's still a fascinating story, and he can't help but think about how much Flynn would have loved this.
"I think...well, my opinion don't mean much but if it means anythin' to you, I think you got a second chance here. And it's...incredible? What you can do, what you have to do...yeah, it's a burden and it's...far from humanity. I get that. It ain't easy."

"In my world, I got--uh, sorta roped into being an ambassador for the trees. They've been tryin' to contact humanity for years, but never found anybody that could translate for them. Until they found me, since I'm a linguist." And a Librarian, probably. "And to translate, I was...uh, kinda--" Part of a tree-- "Part of the forest for a little while."
