The wilderness here adjoins a road, with a bus trundling one way or the other every five minutes, and a moped or truck less often than that. White chevrons indicate which way each lane of traffic is to go; there's a sidewalk, with a railing, but it doesn't look like it sees much use.
That's pretty nifty.
"Probably I should look however I expect to want to long-term here, in these? - Or can I come back for another set later."
"They... do cost money. My statement doesn't and will probably be about as good for your purposes."
"Okay." He goes back behind his desk and types something up and prints a thing and gives Lornell the printed thing. "That will let anyone you show it to look up my statement on our website."
"Thank you so much." Lornell scoops his knowledge of what a website is and then will . . . hang outside and memorize what's on the sheet? Still without being able to read it; they should probably prioritize picking that up at some point.

"Oh. I didn't realize it was that inconvenient for people. I'm not very special at home but here probably everyone here is much worse at everything . . ."
Lorn nods. "Do you have things you want to stay private or can I take basic knowledge about this world from you."
"I... don't think you'd get anything private if you were looking for basic knowledge, like, that doesn't seem like it'd include my sex life or anything?"
"Okay."
Lornell sinks their head into their hands and clutches a little at their hair.
"You have so many exciting and marvelous things here. I hoped maybe one of them would be a way to fix aging."
"- no, we don't have that - fixed - it doesn't seem like it'll be a problem for you specifically?"
"Not for a while. But there's the rest of you, and - it took my society a long time to figure it out; it's very complicated, people would look young but still mysteriously die, eventually, until we found all the little tiny things you have to keep track of. And I don't know them all because I'm only - " scoop the local calendar system, math math math math "fifteen or sixteenish."
