It is a relief to hear that. I have met people from worlds drastically different from my own and it is difficult to imagine them. That is my fault, I have a poor imagination. [ Her smirk was slight, wry. ]
It boggles the mind, doesn't it? The sheer scope of the differences... I think even the most imaginative among us would need time to adjust. [His own answering grin is equally wry. Aesthete he may be, but 'imaginative' is not a descriptor he'd ever apply to himself.]
I've been here some months already, but I'll stay however much longer I need to.
[ She seemed even more relaxed with his answers. ]
Then I must thank you for not mocking me for being inexperienced with this... whatever it may be called. I will be honest, I did not expect you to be able to see my answer but now I am glad that you did.
You don't need to thank me for that. I'd be a hypocrite of the highest order if I were to mock you, considering how utterly lost I was when I first arrived - and still am, in some ways. Case in point: I've only used this program a handful of times before, and wasn't sure it could make a call like this.
[He doesn't seem to think so; he smiles gently and offers] Name aside, Den of Thieves is a decent enough place. Would you rather meet there, or walk together?
[ The name didn't phase her because there were so many places where she was from with names like that. Besides, she was just pleased he wanted to spend time with her. ]
[Well, why shouldn't he? She'll be the first one he's properly met from a world anything like his; even if she weren't, he's always in the market for new friends (with or without benefits).]
In that case, I can meet you in front of your apartment building. Shall we say seven o' clock?

[ This truly was an unexpected turn of events, but one that brought her more pleasure than she realized. ]
