I do. [ xie lian says with a little smile, and that's about all there is on that one. alex will get the feeling there's lore there somewhere, but, alas.
he's cutting himself a piece of fish to munch on (with a knife and a fork, even, the wonders never cease) when alex asks that question, and xie lian makes a thoughtful noise. ] Perhaps so... I think for now I won't question it. I've already gotten to try so many new things, just from being here, so for that, I am thankful.
It must mean that this - [ with a small gesture around them at the pub ] - is a normal life, for someone, don't you think? That perhaps we could even visit places in the Realm that might look like home to us.
[ she takes an actual plate now and transfers some of that spicy fish dish onto it, so she can properly start eating. ] We could be here without any food at all. We'd be in a lot more trouble then.
[ blessings. ]
We could... I wonder if that would make me feel a little homesick? More than I already want to go home, I mean.
that sure is a description. xie lian looks curious, munching on a bite of his dinner. ] ...Is it more...erm, modern, like the place we were last? Or more like this?
I see! It really is quite convenient, to be able to keep your food cold, and cook things so quickly... I look very much forward to the modern age with such fascinating technology! Though, I think it's probably quite far away for me...
I mean, of course, we have things to cook, but it's more often over coals or a fire, not... where you simply press a button, and your food becomes warm...
I... [ xie lian you are literally like 40 times her age, she can’t comprehend this ] I mean, I should because some of them are right here in the profile but, also... no. I can’t really.
There are a lot of you here that are much older than the rest of us, huh? Do all of you have trouble with the technology here?
It is rather difficult, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.
[ xie lian smiles, a little sheepish. ] I haven't set anything on fire with the stove, or anything, and the PHS is a little hard for me to use sometimes, but I think I'm adapting well enough.
The last place that we visited was very exciting, though. I'd never even dreamed of so many of those things!
... I think not setting anything on fire with the stove is a very good thing to do. [ although she remembers his Doom Stew from the first week and now she d o u b t s ]
Mm. That place was beyond what I'm used to as well. We don't have anything like that holodeck where I'm from.

[ she can... see from the array on the table. which she's actually going to take a better look at and maybe also a bite of? yum. ]
I'm trying not to think about where it's coming from, but it's probably another... nova and the Realm oddity?

What's your home like, Miss Alex? [ xie lian's question is genuine - she can probably feel it in his emotions as he asks. ]
no subject
... It's... [ wow ] An interesting place. There's a lot happening there, but not necessarily great things if I'm honest.

I see... so you'd have technology like the inn has, right? It is truly fascinating.
