"Pff. 'Adventure.' Nothing but a word used by authors of insidious bedtime stories to goad people into doing stupid things for the worst reasons."

Felix thinks he knows why Dimitri's saying this, though. A lot of what they used to do as children was the sort of thing that many people would describe as 'adventure.' But what Felix never told anyone was that he didn't actually like doing it for its own sake. It was only fun when Dimitri was there. The good part of discovering something new wasn't the discovery--and in fact, when he was a kid, Felix often didn't like the thought that there was so much out there he didn't know about, because what you don't know can definitely hurt you--but seeing Dimitri's reaction to it. Watching Dimitri's pretty eyes light up with glee and wonder, seeing his sunny smile, that was the part Felix wouldn't have traded for anything in the world.

So he takes Dimitri's hand, ready to find out what they're here for. "This isn't adventure. It's a date. So show me what we came to see."
