Tyrant tilts zir head.

"Alright."

She starts heading in the general direction of where the conference rooms probably are.

The mayor calls for her to wait while he summons a secretary to show them.

Yep, she can do waiting instead of aimless wandering.

And a secretary comes fairly shortly to lead them to a conference room and make sure no one wants coffee or snacks or anything.

"A coffee would be nice, if it's not too much trouble. One sugar, no milk, please."

"Sure. I'll be right back with that." And she leaves.

"Thank you."

She turns to Tyrant. "Do Lords have embassies?"

"What's an embassy?"

"It's a group of people who represent a--" she's about to say 'a country', but the likelihood Tyrant knows what a country is is low "--a particular group of people. They're usually involved in... interfacing between the two groups. Diplomacy, travel permits, that kind of thing."

"Do your people often wish to visit each other's Realms?"

"We're all in one Realm, depending on how you define it, with different groups in charge of different areas. People want to travel a lot. One person might not want to travel, but as a whole-- a lot of travel is happening."

"How is travel prevented, that it needs permits?"

"People patrolling the borders between areas, usually. Sometimes there are physical barriers, too. Varies place to place."

"You have enough people for that?"

"There's about 7 billion of us all up."

" - Impressive. How can your Realm hold so many?"

"It's quite large. I don't know the numbers, but it's big. Most of it you can't live on, because it's just water.

This 'realm' seems different from your kind of realms in most respects."

"Indeed it does."

"I'm happy to do what I can to keep you abreast of the differences, though that might be stymied by the fact I won't know what they are till they happen."

"I understand."

"Is there anything important I should know about your kind of Realm? I don't want to make assumptions."

"I wouldn't have said there were many consistencies before now, because they're all very different - but I suppose I would have been missing some qualities I assumed were fundamental. All have a single creator, and usually a single present maintainer. All are fairly small. They do not natively contain life, and life must be created. Intelligence is hard to create."

"Whether our Realm has a creator is... controversial."

"I wouldn't expect that to be something people could disagree about."
