Only if Isidor will let him do the same in return...

"Honestly, I've been keeping the Nexus to myself. There's enough unrest at home right now to keep everyone there busy for a lifetime." That's a bit of an understatement. Sure, he's hoping it all settles out sooner than that, but he's much too practical to be sure of it getting better in a relatively short period of time. "I, of course, have files on things I've learned in the Nexus, but I make sure they stay in my hands only."

Viatorus' question gets a small shrug from Hughes. "Only a little. My world doesn't have magic, at least not like I've seen around here. What I know of real magic I've picked up from here." He pauses for a brief moment, as if debating something internally before continuing. "My world does have something outsiders might think is magic, based on what I've heard from others - we've developed alchemy into a real, functioning science. But don't ask me to do any tricks for you - I'm afraid I'm as normal as they come."
