[nosdacaraid]

It's a nice name, either way. Really unique. Is it uh...

[He squints at her] I mean you don't look... elven or anything.

[witchwoman]

You're the second person to mention this... elven to me upon introduction. I assume this has to do with the shadow world? I'm not from there, if that clarifies anything.

[NOT ALL MEDIEVAL PEOPLE ARE FROM THE SAME PLACE OKAY. STOP PROFILING HER.]

[nosdacaraid]

Sorry, I guess I uh, shouldn't have assumed. It's just the... [he gestures to his own hair] And I mean you don't strike me as... coming from around here.

[witchwoman]

I am not from here either. I am from the kingdom of Coronnan on the world Kardia Hodos.

[nosdacaraid]

[Mark stares for a long moment, before his eyes get HUUUUGE as he seems to realize something. He then says very slowly, in a hushed voice:] ... Is that in outer space?

[witchwoman]

[Myri's eyebrow furrow in confusion.]

I'm afraid I don't understand the term.

[nosdacaraid]

You know, from up... in the sky. [He points weakly] ... In the stars.

[witchwoman]

[She shakes her head.]

No one can travel to the stars but the gods. And the Stargods have not returned to Coronnan for a very long time- hundreds of years before I was even born.

[nosdacaraid]

So where is this Cardio-Hobos world supposed to be, then?

[witchwoman]

Through the mist.

[Because that's all she knows of how she got here.]

[nosdacaraid]

This mist seems to be doing some... interesting things, lately.

[witchwoman]

What do you mean?

[nosdacaraid]

You're just not the only person saying they're not from the Shadow World. It's never done anything like that before.

[witchwoman]

Not once? Strange that so many of us would arrive at roughly the same time... [Since she recalls that most of those she's met were either squired with her or just a week or so prior.]

Do you think Wynn knows what could have caused it?

[nosdacaraid]

I don't think he wouldn't have told you, if he did know. Unless he wanted to test his theory first.

[witchwoman]

Well, I didn't think to ask. I'm not sure if anyone has. Have you?

[nosdacaraid]

Well... no... but... [Well, now he's just confused] I mean, Gar studies that stuff. She would know.

[witchwoman]

It seems everyone has a specialty... [She muses] What's yours?

[nosdacaraid]

I'm uh... [He looks at a bit of a loss] I guess waving a gun around's what I'm good for.

[witchwoman]

Oh. [Myri still seems impressed, okay.] That's the loud weapon, yes? Ethan taught me how to use it back at the castle.

I wasn't very good.

[nosdacaraid]

The loud one, yeah. [That pulls a smile out of him again] Don't worry, it takes a lot of practice. But I've had a lot of free time to spare.

[witchwoman]

[Myri's happier when people are smiling. It makes her less nervous about upsetting someone.]

Perhaps I will try to practice more when we get back. [She lets her smile widen] I'll let you get back to your music.

[nosdacaraid]

[He plugs his headphones back in, tipping two fingers at her in a semi-salute]
