[Excuse you it was only western civilization?? There's a difference. (No there's not...) He ignores Adam's scowl like he usually does because Luke's sort of a jerk that way, only really half-believing that it was really that different. He's already developed Opinions on Cabeswater for disarming someone's free will and not being much easier to work with, though he knows better than to pick a fight immediately.]

On the other hand, somewhat selfishly, he feels better knowing that those things have turned Adam into who he is now.] If that's your way of trying to get me to tell you about any nightmares I have, I don't know what to tell you.
