"Some about history, or where artifacts have been left, or who's passed through recently. She's known to have - idiosyncrasies, that can affect the veracity of her information, but that's one of the things you learn to work around when studying local history."

"Idiosyncrasies?"

"She's prone to holding grudges, is fairly consistently untruthful on some topics - that sort of thing."

"Is there any pattern to the topics she's consistently untruthful on?"

"Not that I can remember, but history wasn't my primary course of study."

"Fair enough."

"Anything else you'd like to know?"

"Nothing immediately comes to mind, thank you."

"What's your world like? Where are you from in it?"

"Well... whole, for one. It's a round planet in contiguous space without anything like these pockets. And I'm from a kingdom called Antaurb. My, ah, father's the king."

"I think most planets are contiguous, actually. There's debate over if they're naturally round or flat. Are you the heir? What's your world's magic like? Can you do illusions of the architecture?"

"I'm the heir, yeah. My world's magic's called Ravelling—" And he explains how that works. "I don't know any—genjutsu?—yet, couldn't do illusions."

"Your world's magic is interesting. Pity you can't show off the architecture. It's always interesting how different worlds develop." She turns to Tetsuma. "What about your world?"

Tetsuma explains the mess that is the history and politics of the Elemental Nations, then a vague overview of chakra and jutsu. He's horrible at genjutsu, but as long as Sarati doesn't try to throw it off, he can show her some of the architecture. He's been to the capitol and other major cities on missions, so some of it's the really impressive temples and castles and palaces.

Sarati is fascinated, especially by the architecture. "My secondary course of study was in the history of art and architecture," she explains.

"After Tetsuma teaches me more of his magic I'll be able to do the same thing but I think that'll take a while still."

"Really basic genjutsu shouldn't take long - you already have a bit of it with the clone jutsu - but yeah, unless you're talented I'm not sure it's worth focusing on, though it'd be easy to practice while on the ship."

"Eh, let's give it a shot, why not."

"If you don't need anything else, I'm going to head below, then."

"Okay. Thank you."

"I'm good. I'll let you know if anything comes up."

Sarati nods, wishes them good luck with training, then heads down the ladder.

"So you want to try genjutsu?"

...and he kisses Tetsuma.

Eee!

Tetsuma kisses back.
