"Someone's lack curiosity should not be a reflection on your skill." He pauses, tilting his head a little as he glances between her and the work. There's no world where he wouldn't be curious about new things like this. It's a new world, new people, new ...domain. This whole place existing is a marvel, the fact that it can sustain people and projects alike is impressive.

"I appreciate your hospitality, Miss Guizhong." He falls back on his typical politeness when he speaks. He can't help himself sometimes. "I'll be back around before you know it."

Which means he's going to take the chance to leave her to her work while he takes a tour around the domain, anywhere he can reach. He's not just interested in the work, but the domain itself.It's going to be a lot longer than he anticipated before he'd even be anywhere remotely nearby again.
