I'd go for Leonardo. The others - while I understand things at a basic level - I'd likely not be able to understand most of their fields.

Maybe Tesla but I'm not sure if the conversation would end up centered around some of the neat science stuff I could grasp or pigeons with laser-eyes ...

... including Italian, right? Otherwise it could be a brief chat.

Ok... well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I'm assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

Hell, if it's necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a "cerveeeeeeelli" before he lunges across the table :-)

I mean it will be three hours either way, even if your are shouting broken Spanish at him.

Agreed, Leonardo had that natural sense of curiosity and wonder that I can imagine being completely infectious.
