That is entirely reasonable! They just want a couple of things they might need on the short term and then they are set to leave.

Alright. Do they have a list?

Of course! Both for the things they want to buy and things they are willing to sell.

They have a good number of the needed supplies, but unfortunately the ship will probably have to stop somewhere else for some of the others.

She offers them a pretty good exchange rate, especially for the silks.

Adam is no trader, but he figures it's a good deal and accepts.

Is there anything else while they're here?

Nope! They are all set (or as set as they can be.)

She wishes them a safe and fast journey, then!

They are very kind!

"Do you want to talk to Meya now, or get ready to head out?" the old woman asks. "I'm not sure what further information he could offer you, though."

"Well, is not like we have any appointments so we might as well talk to him."

"This way, then." 

She leads them to a much smaller house, made of simpler materials, halfway between the previous house and the water.

Adam and his parents follow her. "It's so spacious here."

"Really? This's a fairly small island, by our standards. The continent has much more space, long as you're not in a city. What's your world like?"

"Ah, we have plenty of space on the surface, but we all live on floating islands and the space needs to be budgeted."

"Do the islands float by magic?"

"Yes. Is that something that happens around here?"

"Haven't seen it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised."

"Your world does sound much more... diverse than ours."

"Now, I'd be shocked if there was a world more diverse than this one - most worlds seem to feed into the realm, so it has the diversity of what must be at least thousands of worlds, if not all of them."

"Uh, now that I think about it sounds odd that we would be more advanced than you. But if death by aging is common place in most worlds that might explain it."

"What do you mean?"

"Well... I guess someone has to be the most advanced world that came in contact with you, it's just feels weird being from that world. By no action of our own, just chance."

"If I remember the going theory right, most worlds are fairly old, and people have only existed for a short span of those worlds - and advanced people even less, so random chance favors the unadvanced. Of the people I've met, most first-generations were surprised by metal tools. I also seem to remember a traveler who claimed to be from a world with ships that could travel between stars, which were large balls of flaming gas amazingly far apart, but she didn't know how, so you might just be the first advanced engineers motivated to interact with people to come through. But, yes, it also feels very strange to us, that our little island, of all the islands, might be the first witnesses to the most advanced civilization we've come into contact with."

Adam is a bit speechless at the description of star traveling ships. Possibly envious.

"Well, supposedly it had to happen to someone. That is what stars are in our world too, or at least our sun."
