"They honestly should be perfectly fine. You usually need a colony to start a large fire, and they're babies still. Good for keeping you company while I'm gone though." By the time they might be capable of being an actual problem, Hanna is hoping that he's got some work around for the fire hazards.
"You give me a list and I'll try my best. I was gonna head out this evening, so that gives you some time if you want to think about what you want?" If he can't find it he's sure Lamont can.
"I'll think about it, but I admit, it all sort of jumbles when I try," he says honestly, uncommonly frank with Hanna.
He doesn't want him to go. He doesn't want to give him reason to go. He's still going to go regardless and he knows he needs to for whatever reason but he's allowed to hate that.
Oh. Well? Yeah, he can see how that could happen...but he hadn't heard of people disappearing so soon after graduation on purpose. Either they dipped, or they handled their shit and came back, right?
His shoulders droop a little, frowning at their hands before looking up again, "I guess I didn't think about that part...I mean, yes it's possible, but I'm pretty sure if the Admiral shut the door behind me, I'm not going to forget you, I graduated! That's...that's something, right? It's important." It means he'd try to come back, and some people do, that asshole Lestat was proof of that, and probably some other people on board he didn't even know about.
He's free. Free of him especially. The urge to do something stupid is high enough it actually tempts him even though he is very much aware it is a stupid thing. Hurting people not to hurt them more is not a logic that actually works. It's a tempting selfishness, nothing more.
He breathes out and meets Hanna's eyes.
"I'm worrying over nothing. Or perhaps I'll miss you. Aren't you supposed to be pleased I'm more concerned about you coming back than what you'll get me while you're gone?"
"You better miss me," he huffs, even though he doesn't feel like it's the right mood to tease, but still.
"But I guess I'd rather you be thinking about something less depressing while I'm out. I have no intention of just disappearing on you. So...I'm not going to spend any energy thinking about it unless it happens."

Re: Post-graduation
He's asking genuinely. But when Hanna takes his hand, he'll curl his fingers around his in turn.
"I might have a few supplies I could ask for. I don't suppose you'd be willing to pick up some esoteric items on my behalf?"

Re: Post-graduation
"Yeah? You wanna elaborate on that?"
Re: Post-graduation
"Is it so unbelievable that I hate the fact you're going? I've read too many accounts of people suddenly unable to get back."

"Probably for the best. I'm just the sort to overplan, you know."
