"Alright. I'll make the jump most of the way and travel the last leg manually. If you want to see any of space at all we'll have to come out at least a day away from the planet, though. Jumps are instantaneous - point A to point B, but like folding space over. B becomes A...I don't know. I'm not very good at explaining things without a visual aid, but it's quick and you don't see anything. It's not something where you can look out the window and enjoy things as you pass. Um...anyways, I'll see you soon?" he asked, clenching his teeth after a moment of thought. Even he wasn't naive enough not to hear the hopeful tone of his voice.

Stupid.
