I agree! I actually briefly considered having him be from NYC, but I wanted to spread the wealth and have him be near MIT. XD But, I think he and Noah would definitely get along well, so they'll have to meet.
He will entertain any and all questions. :3 I think he and Alee could be friendly at that point, since he can't help but like people who are interested in the same stuff as him.
THINGS.
Smarty pants friends with Finnley sounds good to me!
Friends with Dottie would be amazing, too! I feel like he'll find her refreshing given the sort of people he's usually surrounded with, though won't know what to do with the flirting. XD Yay for that socially awkward.
