It reminds him of one of his best friends in the world.
The smile fades a little bit. "That's kind of...everything, to be honest. Every time I start answering questions there's a blank look or, like..." People are disturbed by the nuances that he's tried to give them. Crichton, for all that he ended up misinforming Wayne a little bit, had reacted the least negatively when he talked about developmental stuff. The other really positive interaction was with a very nice man running a Valentines booth that thought it was pretty neat that his skin could hold a shape. "I try to explain the Hylemxylem and it's like they immediately glaze over. Nobody's ever heard of a pneumataphore and I can't look up an equivalent to help with that. It's not like I can just stop trying to answer questions though, that's way rude."
