Second floor common room- Wednesday evening

[seriesofbaddecisions]

After last week's trip home (or at least to some version of it), Sabine was feeling way better about things, and had also spent most of her free time since in her warehouse. By today, she felt like she should at least get out a bit, even if it was just to the common room.

She'd long ago figured out that if you ordered food, they'd send too much. So today when she placed her order for Chinese food, she got way too much on purpose, just to see what would happen. It wasn't like she knew what everything was yet anyway.

The delivery guy showed up with half the order, and they forgot the egg rolls.

Anyway, have some food, there's still plenty.

“Keyleth,” she said with an uncertain little wave of her hand. “Hi. I guess that would be kind of hard to explain to people, now that I think about it. But it seems like a lot of things around here really are.”

"Yeah," Astrid said slowly, looking away for a second. "It took me a long time," embarrassingly long, really, "to really get used to it. Kind of a head trip, realizing you've come from the past, and that everyone really does come from different worlds with aliens and magic and things like that..."

She still sort of had some problems with it, if she was honest, but she was a work in positive progress.

"You're one of the newer kids, then?" Astrid guessed. She didn't get out much, she knew that, so she could have just completely missed Keyleth, but the observations definitely sounded like new-kid ones. And she liked to think she'd remember antlers.

“I just arrived this month,” Keyleth confirmed, absently chewing on a fingernail as she tried to figure out which of the dishes she wanted to try next. “And I . . . have no idea whether I’m in the past or the future, but I’m not sure it even matters when I’m not in my own world at all.”

Though of the three Exandrian representatives in Fandom, she was from the furthest back in the timeline.

“So you’re from one of the worlds without magic? That’s really weird for me to think about. Um, no offense.”

"None taken," Astrid shrugged a little. "It does make my world seem pretty boring, though, compared to some others. I don't mind, though. I probably wouldn't even know what to do with magic if I had it."

But she did eye Keyleth a little speculatively. "Do you know magic?"

"Oh. Yeah," Keyleth said, sighing faintly. "It's kind of my whole thing really. Well, not the whole thing, but it's pretty much all wrapped up with the rest of it."
