"Um, I'm not too familiar with the area, but ..." Cam glanced down the street, trying to think of a good place to take this woman -- somewhere that wouldn't overwhelm her. "I think there's a cafe down here. I hope it's still open."
Leading the woman down the street -- at least, they hoped she would follow -- Cam looked for the sign of the nice place where they'd eaten lunch. Due to Kaiholo Port's active nightlife, it was still open, though most of the activity now seemed to be at the bar. That was fine by Cam; they grabbed a quiet table and waved to one of the staff.
Now they could finally turn to the new Outlander, and their explanations. "So, this is Caido. It's, uh, another world than where you come from. I'm guessing you're from Earth? Not everyone is, but your clothes look ..."
Cam's own clothes were completely Caido-sourced today, but they almost wished they were still wearing their Earth stuff. They'd mostly put it away so that they blended in a little better. Oh, but they had -- they pulled their backpack off their back, showing it to the woman. It was still an Earth model, quite modern. Also, while they had it here, they might as well store their paintings inside.
"Um, basically people get zapped to Caido by magic, and there's no way back," Cam said, while carefully sliding the paintings into their backpack. In another pocket they had the trinkets they'd managed to trade other pieces of art for. They realized, belatedly, that they were not breaking this news gently, and that the woman probably wouldn't believe them.
