Eternal Father, King of birth,
Who didst create the heaven and earth,
And bid the planets and the sun
Their own appointed orbits run;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
For those who soar through outer space.

[ Yes, that's meant to indicate that he knows who this is, and...well Adrian will go through the motions, of course, but he's more concerned with the people he knows than the ones he never will. ]

So then this is just your way of turning your hand to a new career as a professional mourner?

'The smartest man in the world'. I believe it was Time that said it first.

It isn't braggadocio when it's the truth. But I believe we're veering off course. The topic at hand is you, not me.

Exactly. Confidence and arrogance straddle a thin, common line, but false modesty isn't the third and better option either.

We could always change the topic.

I would consider false modesty to be the basest of the three.

While in most instances I wouldn't shy away from that change of topic, in this case I'm afraid I'll have to decline. I already know all I need to know about myself. You're the one who broadcast the call for help.
