Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination
That there is magic in this world is something I am not sure I will ever get used to. And yet it is everywhere - including within me. But still, I am surprised to learn that another wields an ability that can only be described as magical with such ease. My interest is piqued, and I can't help but think that if I were in my leopard form, my ears would perk up, and my head would tilt as my icy gaze searched her for more information.
"You'll have to forgive me if I seem rude in my curiosity - my profession on my previous homeworld leant itself to my inherent desire to learn more about, well, almost everything." I begin, hoping she would indeed forgive me if I overstep the bounds of polite tavern conversation, and also hoping it sufficiently prepared her for what was inevitably going to follow - questions.
I had a lot of them. But I was also a patient man, and could pace myself, asking only one question at a time.
"How do you travel between regions without using the Portal?"
