"The world I was originally from wasn't too different from this place," Wallie offers. "Shonsu's world, where I ended up... More like something out of my world's very distant past. Still very different, though." Like Babylon in the Amazon, though he's not sure if that would mean anything to her. "There wasn't magic in either, though, unless you count gods interfering." he doesn't know if he does, exactly. "The World has sorcerers, but not magic. I'm, um, not used to it."
