"Huh! I haven't tried going somewhere very cold while small. My gates go to a spring place."

"Well, if you do go somewhere very cold, don't go too far, cold can be kind of sudden."

"Can it? Even on this mechanical round thing?"

"Yep."

"How?"

"I don't know. Local geographic features affect the weather a lot."

"I'll watch for it if I go exploring small."

"Could you do a gate to another place? The moon?"

"I'd imagine so, if the moon is a place. I'd have to do it from my world."

"I want to visit the moon!"

"What if it's cold?"

"I can let the mouse go to the moon and if nothing happens to the mouse probably the moon's tolerable at least for short periods."

"I guess that makes sense."

"And if something does happen to the mouse that'd be really interesting honestly."

"Even if I started right away this would take a while, though."

"That's okay."

"Maybe one day you can put your mouse on the moon, then."

"For the time being I've just been going through to forage, though."

"Right, because you can't eat anything we have a claim to?"

"Right. And I'm not going to die if I don't eat at all but I don't like it."

"Huh. I wouldn't say that I mind not eating."

"Yes, you seem different that way. I can fly a lot faster and generally am more alert and comfortable if I eat every day."

"I like the experience of eating food but I wouldn't be able to tell you whether it's been ten sleeps or forty since I did it, if I wasn't paying much attention."

"I can tell the difference between a few hours ago and yesterday."
