Glacius listens as Carlisle speaks; he starts of well enough sounding like he's acknowledging the alien's sentiments, but then he careens down his usual path of countless words and Glacius' expression twists into one of confusion. When the clergyman finally pauses he reaches out and puts a hand on his should, not only as a time out gesture but to hopefully convey an attempt at genuine connection.

"I feel like you are listening, but maybe not entirely hearing me... or fully acknowledging the depths of what I am telling you. I was not talking about your family or your blood line. I was talking about us, about how I feel about you, and I am telling you that I would never consider you a disappointment or a burden. Never. I love you and I... am proud of you. I just want you to think about that, to actually consider it, before you careen off into other thoughts and worries."
