[Kieran sits and, true to his word, he listens. He's quiet and focused, tilting his head ever so slightly when Ben hesitates--and he can see why. Such things were, to put it nicely, taboo in his time (although he has no idea what the future looks like), but outside of his initial surprise, Kieran doesn't care either way. It's simply not his business.]
[Scratch that. It is his business, but only insomuch to make sure his friend was happy. If this mystery guy brought Ben joy, then that's good enough for Kieran.]
[So he keeps listening up until that question, and that's when his focus breaks. His brow lifts and his shoulders relax when he hears someone familiar.]
Yeah! He's a nice boy. Takes a little gettin' used to, but he's helped me a bunch.
