[ The device turns on with a clatter and...purring. ]

—Hey! Cut it out-!

[ And Tyr's very annoyed voice as he tries to shoo away the two long-hair cats that are rubbing against his legs as he stands at the kitchen counter. ]

This isn't even— Sindar!

[ And a second later, another cat is plopped to the floor with the other two. ]

I don't know how Luc put up with you...

[ He finally reaches for his device to click off the feed. And probably get back to making breakfast. ]

We didn't really hear of other worlds back home. Planets, sure, but that wasn't the same thing.

[blackshadow]

We...didn't even hear about planets back home. It's always weird to hear about them.

[boutant]

Really? Other worlds, but not other planets?

[blackshadow]

Yeah... Other worlds are pretty established, but other planets aren't.

[boutant]

Huh. [ There's a rub at the back of her neck. ] What's your world called?

[blackshadow]

[He shrugs.]

I don't know what other people call it. My homecountry is the Toran Republic, but the world itself isn't called anything.

[boutant]

[ Huh. That's... a bit confusing. ] What's it like there?

[blackshadow]

It's nice... It's surrounded by mountains and it's named after the lake in the middle of the country. There's magic there, too, and different races there... You don't really see anyone who's not human here...

How about yours?

[boutant]

No magic, pretty much all humans -- well, there are animals, of course. The technology is about the same as it is here.

I'd been going to school in a different country for the past five years, which was exciting.
