text | open to both courts

[ The message that comes across the network is abrupt, as though the sender thought about sending it and simply did with no further thought. ]

I wish to learn more of the magic of your worlds, of this world. Not only how it works but how to use it.

I can offer a trade, should you require it.

[ After a moment, there's an addendum: ]

If you do not wish to discuss such things over the lockets, dedicate a shrine to the Outsider. I will know. We will speak there.

Not as much as it used to be, no. Some species are going extinct so there are quite a few laws banning whaling in order to protect them.

I do wonder if my world will get to that point. A scientist recently put forth findings on whales, that they have families; he was all but laughed to ruin.

They do not understand that when struck, whales are intelligent enough to strike back.

Most people underestimate the intelligence of animals, whale or otherwise. That's why they think I'm mental when I say I trust my cat when it comes to people.

Most people are terribly unintelligent and boring.

I have two dogs, in the Drabwurld; a breed from my world. Very smart beasts. People in my world relied on them when it came to judging other people as well.

A lot of people don't have a chance to prove themselves, though.

I have a dog too. A Simarg, named Padfoot. He's very clever too but he can be a bit of a pain.

I see everything, in my world.

[ Most of it is boring people. ]

A Simarg - they are winged, yes?

[ He's read a lot. ]

That must be absolutely exhausting.

[ Of course she takes it literally; what else would she think, here in the Drabworld? ]

They are! Winged and a little bit sneaky.

I have had four thousand years to get used to it.

Also, I do not need to sleep.

Oh. Well, that must be both useful and frustrating. Do you ever just want to sleep?

Not particularly. Not in my own world, at least. Here, I have... considered the idea.

Well, I can definitely recommend it. Especially if you need a few hours peace from people being... People.

If I start, I may never wake up.

[ That was maybe a joke possibly. ]

Maybe it would be better not to risk it, then. Even if you set an alarm?

I suppose I could ask to be awoken after a set amount of time.

As long as you're sure you would actually wake up when they tried?

Not particularly, no.
