"I'm an archaeologist - er, I was, anyway, until very recently." He winces. A little more brutally honest than he'd intended. "Long story short, I just screwed up any chance I might've had to be much of anything in the archaeological community other than the world's foremost idiot expert in absurd hack theories that no one in their right mind would believe."
And also a little less abridged than he'd intended. Well all right then, so Seth is just going to know a lot more about Daniel than either of them are comfortable with, probably, and Daniel quickly sits down on the couch because it gives him the vague impression of being able to sink into the earth and let him completely vanish off its face, because that would suit him just fine.
