[drinking tea and reading a book]

...what is this for?

[crisscrossing]

Curiosity! And, yanno, getting to know people, fostering friendly alliances, staving off boredom, the whole package.

[esp_not_pms]

...I suppose you can ask some questions.

[crisscrossing]

Awesome. What're you reading?

[esp_not_pms]

Ah...here.

[shows him the title: it's a thick tome on magical theory]

[crisscrossing]

Magic! Whoa.

[esp_not_pms]

Weren't you the person with the sign about supernatural problems before? If so, this shouldn't be that surprising.

[crisscrossing]

Naw! But it's not exactly common back where I'm from, so people being all into it here is new and exciting.

[esp_not_pms]

I suppose that makes sense. How rare is it in your world?

[crisscrossing]

Uhhhhhh. I don't know anybody who uses it. Anymore, at least.

[esp_not_pms]

There isn't? Do you know if there's a reason for that?

[crisscrossing]

Most... people don't really know about it, for whatever reason.

[esp_not_pms]

So it's not that no one has the ability, but that they don't know how?

[crisscrossing]

It's definitely not common knowledge, heh. So! What about where you're from?

[esp_not_pms]

The existence of the supernatural isn't widely known either where I come from, at least in Asia.

[crisscrossing]

Huh!
