Brock actually turned to stare at him. "You're kidding, right?"
He could buy the French bit, but the rest? Yeah, right. You didn't have to be a history major or even be awake during those high school history classes to know that the whole American Revolution thing had been centuries ago. It was kind of a weird thing to be crazy about, but it wasn't like everyone here he'd encountered was one hundred percent sane. He probably figured Armand was...odd, like River, only so far without the weirdo mutant mind-reading and more of the French stuff.
Brock knew he probably would look crazy too if he started blurting out crap like that or talking to himself; even if there was a voice in his head and it was more than real. Parker could attest to that fact, but he still gave them that look like he was losing it. Assuming he was right, Brock still thought that as one potentially-crazy looking at another, he still got weirded out.
It wasn't like he knew how to handle this. He could get that maybe other countries weren't so tickled with the US as the US itself, but he drew the line at acting like the American Revolution was news. Even so, he found himself curious, wondering how far the crazy went.
"Uh, where I'm from, that's like, something around centuries ago," Brock said, clearing his throat. "People don't even talk about that usually."
