He points at her.  "Well, you."

"This? This was decanted."

"Cool!  On what day?"

"In what time system?"

"- Listen, in the event that you're magic or a distant traveler being evasive and messing with me on purpose I apologize for not playing along, but since it's much more likely that you're not, do you want to, uh, clear anything up about why you're here, or peacefully accompany me to check with some of the rest of me about same, or some such thing?"

"Oh! There are more of you? You seemed like a human. I don't know why I'm here."

Permalink

"Probably. There are a lot of planets and many of them have solstices."

Permalink

"- No there aren't!  Not here!"

Permalink

"...well, depending on what you mean by here, they wouldn't really fit, but there are lots of them far away."

Permalink

"Far away only exists in one direction and it's slightly more crowded there than it is up here!  Are there - Si!!  Are you busy!"
