[It was okay. Even Oscar had a hard time grasping he had a role to play in anyone's life as anything more than a farmhand. And yet... he persisted, to try to become someone worthy of such a role.]
Glad we see the same thing, then.
In the meanwhile, I'm doing some cooking pretty soon. Do you have any requests or are you okay with anything hot and filling?
[Varian still counts Oscar as a badass- you HAVE to be, to exist in Remnant, he's pretty sure of it. ]
Hot and filling would be amazing, thank you. At the very least, it might mean Glitch will have less of a breakdown trying to scavenge for supplies AND remember to eat.
[And him remembering to eat at all, but that's a given.]
[--Cue Oscar's drive to be responsible kicking in upon reading those words. Thinking of his three friends, all young men without much experience to their name, he suddenly found himself worried.]
[Such is the classic blunder of geniuses. They forget to do the basic things to take care of themselves... much in the same way as people who were inclined to caring too much.]
Don't worry, Varian. I know. I'll be careful if you will too, okay?

Give him a moment, Oscar. Even if he was here for a hundred years, he doesn't think he'll get used to people saying they feel better he's around. ]
Oh. Well, thanks. You're right. We have to look out for one another here. If we don't, that's where it all starts to fall apart.

Varian. Do any of you know how to use a kitchen?
[Somehow he doubted it.]
no subject
I know how to cook! I just forget to. A lot. Busy doing science stuff, it happens.
I know Fern can make soup now?
[He literally opens a can and heats it, it's not making soup.]
I think Glitch can like. Cook an egg?

Varian, please.]

It's not JUST canned soup and eggs. There's coffee too. And sometimes Ruby sends us a pizza?
[Please help them, it's a miracle they're not dead already.]

I know you're smart enough to know what I mean.

I hear October gets bad, so none of my friends are going hungry on my watch.

[He's a GENUIS after all.
He just forgets to ...you know.
Eat it.]
Just makes sure you take care of yourself, too. That's important. You don't want to fall apart while you're looking after someone else.

I will, I'll do my best to, anyway. Thanks, Oscar.
