Indy was walking the line between being amused and being impressed; maybe he was some of each. Not that she didn't still sound like an utter romantic, but that desire to be a hero, with a touch of swashbuckling panache and a healthy sense of justice--it sounded a little familiar. All right, fine, more than a little familiar. Throw in the intellectual curiosity and a Ph.D. and it would've been a fair description of Indy himself. If he did say so himself, which he wasn't likely to anytime soon. Humility was still a virtue.

"Good for you," he said, kind of wishing he could introduce her to Short Round. They'd probably get along swimmingly. Not much danger of Utena's ennobling the trickster out of the kid, though. "Sounds like a pretty good way to live your life, all in all. I don't know that you need to be a prince to be a hero, though."
