"I can do that. Probably." They'd try to find something more up their alley, but serving food and washing dishes would keep a roof over Cam's head and food on the table till then, they hoped. "So we probably came from similar worlds, if not the same one ... Uh, DM stands for 'Dungeon Master.' It's not -- I mean, I understand why you haven't heard of it. It's part of a, uh, a game ..."
Cameron trailed off; trying to explain D&D to Neos seemed kind of infeasible. It was always kind of awkward to tell people who didn't know anything about it what D&D was, and in another world? Yikes.
"I mean, I have my laptop, and all my DM stuff is on there ..." But yeah, there was the electricity issue again. Cam's laptop didn't hold a charge very long. They sighed. "Yeah, I'm kind of up the creek without a paddle."
They glanced up at Neos' tone, brow furrowing. "What do you ... oh, whoa! Whoa!"
Suddenly Neos was a lion. Wow. Cam stared, their mind initially blanking in a sort of instinctive panic at being this close to a large predator. But ... it was Neos, right? It should be fine. They sort of reached out to the lion, not quite brave enough to touch it -- besides, they wouldn't assume Neos was OK with that -- but testing whether it would attack.
