[He stirred a bit of the remaining food around his plate, staring down at it thoughtfully. Then he sighed a bit.]
When I was growing up... [Brief half-laugh; still plenty of "growing" to do] I absolutely fell in love with stories about you. The adventures you'd gone on, and the myths you'd encountered. The myths you yourself were. I was beyond excited to finally get the chance to meet you, and get all the truths behind everything I'd been hearing.
[Looking up at Scrooge, there was a smile on his face.]
It's been... absolutely incredible, being able to hear firsthand about your experiences. Heck, getting to live a few, too! I just know that someday, when I have kids- or nephews or nieces -of my own, I'm going to have so many amazing stories of my own to tell them.
But you know what? I think my favorite part has getting to know... you. It's not many people that Scrooge McDuck would admit having been afraid to, but you told me. You've told me a lot of things like that, and... I dunno, I like it. Getting to know the part of you that's a person too, and not just a legend.
