[ Sebastian does his best to tone down the fondness of "you fucking nerd" in his smile when Joseph not only rolls with the subject immediately, but has already done his research, as well. It's not surprising. Doesn't make it any less impressive, though.
He shoves down the guilt at how easy it is to just roll with this, himself, like the biggest problem they could be facing right now is how to finagle early 19th century tech into a shooting range.
There's a whole lot of lack of eye contact in the room, and for the moment he's content to let that lie, too. He's got a good memory.

And it's a lot easier not to think about that when he would also have to think about how the man sitting next to him saw all that, too. ]
You've already thought of everything. [ the praise is automatic, but no less sincere for it. ]

I'm better at knocking it down once it's set up.
[ And hell if he's going to make any suggestions that amount to a treadmill to run a track while trying to shoot. ]
