Matt had to work not to smile at the shrug, some things were just universal - no matter where or when someone was from, the gesturing people did with their bodies only to realize they were speaking with a blind man never failed to amuse him. "No?" he was surprised, well maybe not exactly surprised but New York felt like a constant to him too, the sort of thing that ought to go beyond one reality and be the same no matter where you were from. But that didn't seem to be the case. "It's just the sort of place that is always going, no matter the time of day or night, the sirens, the cars, the people. It's loud, but it's familiar, so it's easy to block it out - without it things just feel.... wrong." He explained wanting to try and put to words a little of what the city was for him.
"Oh." He was even more surprised to hear a place so familiar from someone who didn't know New York, or at least not the way he meant it. And then Amos went on explaining a little more, about his time in space, an ice-hauler. That was something Matt had never heard of and he tilted his head a little as he listened to the explanation. "Wow." He said surprised as Amos went on talking about planets without water, maybe like Earth. But that Mars was now a place that needed water.
"We've only managed to put rovers on Mars where I'm from." He told him, "So people actually made it out that far where you're from? It felt unbelievable in a lot of ways, but he could hear the truth in Amos' voice. The same as with Clint as he'd explained about this place. "That's probably cooler than an astronaut."
There was plenty more Amos wasn't saying, but he didn't owe Matt his complete history after all. And talking about this seemed to help distract him just a little but maybe not quite as much as Matt might have hoped. "Now I just feel a little bit lame telling you that I'm a lawyer." He said with a self depreciating smile.
