Trevor doesn't even flinches the ice club breaks in a dozen pieces and Trevor's chest is just slightly damp with a few ice bits.

"Aww, there was no need to be cautious. I took gunshots and didn't feel anything."

Felix already collected the bits of ice (no one saw when) and is now evaporating them inside a metallic bowl.

"I mean, I can do it again if you're sure you're okay, but, y'know, don't tend to hit people that hard."

"Oh, well, I did wanted to show off. I couldn't while these two did it all night. Hey, Fenris! Why didn't you come up with the club idea before?"

"It was more crowded and for all I know someone was allergic to water or something."

"Like, because that's a common precaution you have to take, or were there other species in here?"

"There were other species. Humans were the majority but definitely weren't the only ones."

"Any other notable ones? And–" he looks around, "did they all look kinda humanoid?"

"Most look humanoid, or have humanoid features? Would you know what a fairy, gnome, centaur or mermaid are?"

"Fairy yes, gnome no, centaur no, mermaid yes?"

"We had all of those, with the mermaid being temporarily biped. Gnomes, at least the variety we saw are this size and nearly half of that is head, and the other half is covered in beard, but otherwise human looking. Centaurs are hard to explain..." Felix retrieves a book with pictures of horses and centaurs.

Itaruko is also curious about centaurs!

"… Huh," says Matil after looking through it.

"Your world doesn't have anything like horses? Actually... are you two from the same world?"

"We don't have horses, but we have some things kind of like them?" he says. "And– not sure, uh, big places: do you have– Rhunya? Kerune?"

"Yeah, and Serenta, bunch of other places, so we're at least from the right general world even if we might not be from the exact same one."

"I meant the exact same world, not the same... type of world. Supposedly time won't flow in your world if the door is closed, unless the person decides to leave the world and not return, which Itaruko didn't leave any indication he would want to."

"So, what, throw out a watch into his world, shut the door, open mine, and see if time passes or something?" Pause. "Probably throw the watch out into my world, actually, since I have one on and wouldn't really want to lose it."

"I don't think it works like that? And apparently whenever the time isn't sync it can go arbitrarily fast, so you might lose years from your own world. Not worth testing it."

"… Didn't you say it was paused while we were here? I wasn't actually planning on leaving, just on throwing my watch out and checking if time passed for it while Matil had his door open."

"Ah, sorry. I thought you are going to test the time not being paused when you decide to leave. But, yeah, that test should be safe."

So they go do it! Itaruko opens the door for him first, looks at the time, then drops his watch on the floor and shuts the door.

Then Matil holds the door open for a bit.

"So," says Martin. "When did your world start getting the powers? I don't remember if you told me a specific date."

"It was 1996, it is 2015, the twenty year anniversary is next year. Afraid that your world might have our magic?"
