"Not particularly. I've survived this long without having to do it, so I see little reason to force myself to enjoy it now." Of course, he also doesn't enjoy what passes for fast food and school cafeteria food here, either, but those are things he can't control as opposed to this. Besides, his metabolism was enough that he'd probably burn off whatever he ate in no time anyway, a sort of blessing and curse all at once.
But the question makes him glance up at Duo, just for a moment before returning his focus to his work. "History according to CERES is a lot of propaganda on the achievements of those they consider to be important, while downplaying any negative roles they may have held in order to make those who they want the public to believe are the enemies look far worse by comparison. Basically it's the same as any history class, written by the victors in order to paint themselves in the role as noble benefactors for the public while making the losers appear to be far more abominable than they actually are or were." But there's another point Duo mentioned that needs brought up as well, because he's been here long enough to have formed his own opinion on the matter -in reality though, that had taken all of maybe five minutes when he'd first arrived (opinion on Cerealia upon arrival: FUCKING HATE THIS WHY DO I HAVE TO FISH?!).
"As for the reactions of others to the mention of space, people are intrigued by things they do not understand or have not experienced. Where they might think space is shocking, we might think the abundance of certain food items is shocking. I don't think it's a history thing so much as it is a cultural one that varies between individuals."
Did you get all that, Duo? Because he's not repeating it. He's gotten the majority of his word count in for the day.
