"You better believe it will be. If my lab, by some miracle, managed to make it here, you're in for a treat!"
And honestly, Varian is glad for this meeting - even beyond the life-saving stuff- because he definitely would have drowned if left to his own devices- having someone genuinely willing to listen and learn what he has to teach is a genuine delight. Helping to distract someone new away from the fact they were trapped in a whole new world was a bonus to all of that.
"Oh, that would be so amazing! Even if it's not here, though, I'm sure we could make a new lab!"
Sure, it'll probably take some time, but they should have plenty of that, shouldn't they? After all, they're in a whole new world without any plans or obligations.
"Oh, don't you worry, that's one of the first things I'll be doing."
Because who needs to worry about finding a place to sleep and eat when there's science to be had? He grins, now clothed and with his leg, feeling a lot better, starting towards the boardwalk.
"But for now, let's see if we can find home first- aaaaand the people who live there. The rest can come later."
"Oh, it's pretty big. The tower in it kinda...juts out of the side really weirdly. It definitely didn't originally have one, it just...appeared one day. "
You know. Like they do.
"Well, there's Fern, he's my age and uh...made of grass so...you'd pick him out of the ground quickly. Then there's Luz who's short and pretty scrappy, she's a witch or...training to be one, anyway, teenager too," this is already shaping up to be a great household, right? "Reaper lives in the coffee table sometimes. He's an adult and made of smoke? Has a weird mask on."
Well, at least it sounds like the house and the residents were all pretty noticeable. Even if Luca wonders how a tower just 'appears'. It should make this easy.
"Well, at least with a guy made of grass and a guy made of smoke, I don't have to worry if anyone sees me change back when I'm at the house. That's...something that kind of happens whenever I get wet."
Which can be a pain when people want to kill sea monsters. In a house where several of the residents weren't human? If anyone had an issue with what he was, they likely wouldn't have stayed there in the first place.
Don't question it, Luca. There's no rhyme or reason. One day the tower wasn't there and the next it was. Just a magical tower. It's fine.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that at all. Me and Luz are the only humans in the house and both of us are really, really used to nonhumans at this point," and Varian is absolutely not going to tolerate any nonhuman being treated as less, no sir. "Well, if anyone gives you any trouble about that, let me know, okay? I'll deal with them."
He's going to leave what 'deal with them' means open to interpretation. It won't be nice though.
There's nothing more heartwarming than showing up to a new place and having people already willing to stand up for him if he got in trouble. Which...actually happens to Luca a lot, now that he thinks of it, but it's still always nice.

He thinks about it a moment.
"So what does your home look like? And what do the other people who live there look like?"
