Elysium Cruiser

Following suit, Deedlit brushed herself off and wiggled her ears back and forth. "Tell me, Bakura, how long have you been on this--what is it--ship?" Folding her arms across her chest, she eyed him closely. It was more of an idea how long it would be before she could return to Lodoss.

Ryou thought about it for a moment. Since he'd gotten here, he'd lost track of time. "Well if time runs here the same as on Earth, then approximately a year and a half?" He wasn't too entirely sure, however.

One year and a half. That was a long time.

"I see," she replied, lowering her ears. "You have friends from home here, don't you? It's important to have allies, especially in a place like this. Our allies make us strong and we can handle things we normally wouldn't be able to endure on our own."

"I do have a few friends here," Ryou admitted. They'd been a bit quiet, but he knew they were there somewhere.

She was relieved and her expression showed it. "Oh, good. You don't strike me as the type who'd do very well on his own." Then she paused, "Not that I'm saying you're weak! You just have a very peaceful soul. At least, that's how it feels to me."

Ryou laughed it off, rubbing the back of his moppy hair. "I do like to have the friends I've made in Domino."

And perhaps Deedlit had insulted him. She couldn't tell. She didn't dwell on it, though. "Domino... That's where you're from then? What sort of island is that?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Domino's a district in a very large city in Japan," Ryou explained. She must not have been from earth. After all that he'd seen here, this really didn't surprise him too much.

"A city? That is... like a town, or a village, correct? Bigger, perhaps?" Lodoss didn't really refer to anything as a 'city'. It was more like kingdoms, towns, and villages. "And Japan... That is a very odd name for an island." And so was Lodoss. And so was Marmon. She didn't have much room to speak.

Ryou thought for it for a moment. Her world was very different from his. "It's a really really big village. Thousands, sometimes even millions, of people live there."

She paused for a moment and then nodded slowly, "Oh... my... I don't know if even Lodoss has so many. It seems so small in comparison. And that does not overwhelm you?"

Ryou shook his head. "People are quite well spread out." He found Tokyo rather normal, with its large size and mass number of people.

It had to have been much bigger than her home. Had to have been. After all, if it was smaller, then he must have been distressed. He'd said they were spread out, though, and 'quite well' at that. It was a good indication that it wasn't as terrible as she'd thought.

"Oh," Deedlit sighed with relief, though she couldn't quite understand why it made such a difference to her. "That makes sense. You couldn't have so many people in such a limited amount of space."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"A limited space with that many people would definitely be very bad," Ryou agreed.

"Is it one large city, or a lot of smaller cities? I imagine there are different kingdoms and countries, right?" She lifted an eyebrow at him, considering that countries might be the same thing as provinces.
