"Of course, of course." Damian was nodding along before giving a little chuckle. "Always so practical, Jane. You should allow yourself some flights of fancy on occasion." The sun was warm on his face as he smiled.
"I had a lot of time to think while I was in Atlantis." Performing a small flourish with his finger, a bubble formed on his fingertip, magnifying the vibrant colors of the flowers near them.
"As the days dragged on, I had nothing better to do than daydream. I quit the Ministry a hundred times. Sometimes I was a traveling musician. Other times I was a freelance ghost investigator. I even thought about staying at home and starting a family. I just knew that once I got back to the surface, things were going to be different." The sunlight shimmered on its surface when he blew at the bubble, allowing it to drift off lazily towards the flowers.
"But everything turned out ok, didn't it? We get caught up in the Ministries misadventures, and then we just carry on until we're involved in the next crisis." Leaning towards Jane, Damian gave her shoulder a little nudge with his own. "And there is nowhere I'd rather be."
