[ Jayce snorts at his commentary, a short sound colored in bitter amusement. At his mention of it being close to the truth, Arthur tilts his head curiously, trying to decide which one cut on the quick. ]
About the research or the universe? [ He supposes that last one made more sense in the context, but he eyes the drink–Jayce is clearly in possession of his faculties, for the most part. The alcohol could be impacting the clarity, though.
And maybe, he doesn't want to presume about a story he only knows a portion of. ]

No one believed me when I told them magic was tamable, and it's likely no one will believe me when I say magic was . . . The constant variable to steer my life.
[ jayce is likely losing any limitations that would otherwise keep him queit. he get's a little more talkative with brandy in the blood. ]
I honestly don't know how to feel about that.
[ Caught between awed and frustrated, and that may be clear in how his brows bounce, and his lips go tight in a lopsided frown. more drink for the lips, please. ]
[ Both??? The research makes sense, in a way. He's going to have to grapple with the whole universe thing being part of the equation, though. Something to get to, in a minute. ]
Why is that odd? Isn't that what science is about–making sense of the things that we don't understand? [ Sure, he isn't from a world with magic, so maybe he's talking out of his ass. But, dreamshare, he's certain, probably sounded just as unlikely to the researchers who first theorized it. ]
Wait, wait, time loops? [ Arthur feels like he's been tripped and is trying to regain his footing on the conversation. ] Like, I dunno, Groundhog Day or something?
