Well, I suppose those from your world would know best. [Though she is right; it's impossible not to make the connection now, between Peggy Carter and those who made the announcement. He doesn't take it any further, however; doesn't assume that either of them is the American, or even acquainted with Peggy personally.
After all, he himself is a perfect example of someone from decades after the majority of those who share a world with him.
Instead he finds it his turn to set aside his drink when Peggy continues on, speaks of the things she's encountered here that are of the creation of mortal men rather than Red Queens and beheaded Duchesses.]
The first time I saw a sorcerer...I was ten. [He stands, moving quickly and with purpose. It's a simple matter to cross the room, open a drawer and pull out a rather simple device: little more than a handle with a trigger and a light on the end, or one would think.] It was on the streets of Whitechapel, when with nothing more than a flash, a man knocked out everyone who he shone his light over.
[He returns to the seat, holding up the device.] Now, years later, I know how he did it. How to do it myself, how to take apart the stunner and put it back together--in fact, this little device is standard issue for Time Masters. But for every mystery I came to understand, countless more came to light.
And that's the truth of humanity, Miss Carter. There are questions we will never answer, yet we still seek to try. We are meant to learn, constantly, in ways that can be overwhelming, but that can also make us better for them.
