i love whenever julian winds up in a runabout with someone and immediately turns from ‘a likeable, slightly over-talkative man with some strange social habits but a lot of good points as well’ into ‘thee most obnoxious person you ever met in your entire life’ just bc hes stuck in a car ride. but especially i enjoy the face journeys of whoever he’s with as he shares every single thing he’s thinking as he thinks it, makes weird noises, asks a bajillion questions, fidgets, paces, snacks, swivels around in his little chair, and if they say ‘let’s just be quiet for a second’ he says “of course! totally :) great idea. you know, i once met a monk who had taken a vow of silence; here is every single fact i know about religious, selective, and involuntary mutism isnt that interesting?”
