He may as well go ahead and break that wall down, given how he easily rolls with the punches and keeps going. As well as being disgustingly good at keeping everything separate or mostly under wraps if it's necessary.
"I do try to, it seemed a rare thing." It's not wrong, he was lucky to end up in the strange situation he had and with people who were willing to learn or willing to teach. Different life experiences and different view points he wouldn't have seen otherwise. It even continued here, really.
The question is if he should even talk about it. He remains silent to mull it over in his mind, weighing the pros and cons of it. He's fairly sure that it's... safe here, from what he can tell, so maybe it's not the worst of ideas to discuss. To put out there and hope that this goes well.
"Forgive me if I'm a bit... blunt about this, but it's easier to just outright speak plainly of it. All of... what we had been doing, the looks and some of the words, would have gotten us arrested and possibly killed where I'm from. You had to remain in secrecy, having to be extremely careful lest someone catch notice." His tone has shifted greatly from the more upbeat chatterbox to carefully picking his words and speaking slower, voice softer. It's not a subject he's too fond of speaking about, but this isn't Victorian England.
