Alex chuckled, kid's certainly excitable.<br/>---<br/>"Good job," the older man appraised. As soon as he handed Alan the map, the kid started marking down anything that stood out. He wanted to point out that there may be things that didn't<span style="font-style: italic">have</span>to be marked down... But he just couldn't do it. Once Alan started making the map better, his eyes just lit up. The kid was enjoying himself way to much for him to want to get in the way of that if he can help it. The boy didn't seem like the type of person who got to enjoy himself often, so the older man is not gonna get in the way of his joy. Looking at the map, he also couldn't help but be impressed. It took him weeks to get the scale right when it comes to marking things down, but the kid just seems to have a knack for it. What started out as a rather blank map that only really shows the most important landmarks and where towns were was now a great deal more detailed, and rather accurate if he said so himself. Granted, it probably would be outshone by professional mapmakers, but those types of people are so uncommon these days that it's hard to not be impressed. "Heh, you could probably be a professional mapmaker one day."
