"Oh, yes, he was fine, he carried me around and then he realigned with his body and we were out. It was sort of nerve-wracking at the time but turned out all right."

"I'm glad."

"Me too. I'm not sure what would have happened if it had turned out he was stuck there."

"Legal awkwardness and a shift in focus of Avatar-related effort to getting him unstuck, would be my best guess."

"I mean, I guess I would have had to learn to make a portal or something. Those are a thing."

shrug. "I wouldn't know." Nom nom last bites of pretzel.

"What is that thing you've been eating? Is it just weirdly shaped bread?"

"Weirdly shaped and cooked differently. It's called a pretzel."

"Huh. Otherworldly food."

"Apparently. Why, what kinds of food does your world have?"

"I mean, we have bread, just not shaped like that. Apples? Sea prunes? Bean curd? Noodles? I'm a vegetarian most of the time, um - chickenlizard?"

"We have apples and noodles and chicken. I've never heard of sea prunes, and we usually don't eat lizard at all, let alone in combination with chicken."

"...What, you only eat the parts with feathers...? You only like possumchicken?..."

"...Possumchicken?"

"Arctic hen? Pig chicken?"

"We have chickens and lizards and pigs and possums but I've never heard of them being combined..."

"I'm not familiar with the phrase but from context I'm guessing yes."

"Weird."

"Weirdness is subjective! I think it's weird that you have something that's a cross between a chicken and a pig."

"They're tasty. And they're a leaner meat than moosow."

"I've never eaten pig because of religious restrictions but I'll take your word for it. And that would seem to follow, considering how huge just plain moose are."

"Moosows are pig-cows. I'm not actually aware of any moosepigs. Mooselions yes, dragon moose, moosewhales..."

"Ah. No offense, but those sound terrifying."

"Dragon moose are domesticated. They've fallen out of use, but they used to pull heavy loads."
