"I'll be there," stated Richard. What he didn't say was that he would be there if nothing came up to distract his mind from forgetting about having to be there, which usually had something to do with homework. His mind zeroed in on such things so that he got them done instead of procrastinating, and that was something that he couldn't afford to let happen to him given where he wanted to be.
Hearing what Topher wanted to do, Richard had to say that he was shocked to find that the young man wanted to lead the X-Men, but mainly he was shocked at himself. Given Topher's last name, he should have expected some aspirations of wanting to take charge of the superhero team. "Well, it is good to hear that you have a fall back plan if music doesn't work," said Richard with a smile.
"I will definitely have a word with them about teaching me a few things," responded Richard. "But I can only see myself being an emergency response person or something. I lack the brains for anything more than the basics of the medical field." It was a sad thought, but it was a realistic one that he had to admit was possible even if he didn't want it to be.
"No kidding. I would have seen you playing Peter or Aslan." Looking down at the book, he had to smile at the thought of someone wanting to lead the X-Men playing the young brother in a book series he had never read. "It is one of my favorite books because it reminds me that we truly are capable of becoming things that we never dreamed of."
