”Thank you.” Tala said as she leaned forward to grab the cup, enjoying the warmth on her palms and fingers where they wrapped around it.
She was relieved to once again get confirmation that other parts of this world existed. The first person she’d met had told her as much, but she couldn’t help but worry that the entire universe may truly just contain planets of snow and ice. It’s all she’d ever seen so far, and she portaled her because the stories said there was more. ”Where did you, um, portal into? What was it like?” She stumbled over the word ‘portal’ and it’s usage again.
”Ah yes, someone mentioned it but didn’t give many details… During the dread season we had some days with very little sunlight, but nothing that sounds so ominous as the LongNight is described to be. What happens, exactly?”
Her eyes followed around the room. "It seems nice. To be honest, I'm not very familiar with what a house is meant to look like. My people didn't keep houses, even when we'd pass villages I'd hardly go in. You could've tricked me into thinking this was how it was supposed to look." She said with a wry smile.
