[ From what little he knows of the man, it does seem out of character for Alke to spin such an outrageous lie. ]

Okay. Let’s say you’re from another planet. How’d you even get here?

[causalities]

I don't pretend to know the science. Someone I served with, her father-- [How does one even explain the Chains?] -- can forge and maintain... portals, I suppose, between worlds. My sister fled here to escape persecution from our family, and her husband's militia. I followed.

[A helpless little shrug.]

[animated]

So you hopped through a Stargate, basically.

[ Charlie, don’t make references at the poor guy.

More seriously, he says, ] I mean, that doesn’t sound totally impossible.

[causalities]

[Individually, the words are sort of appropriate, so he gets enough of the context to nod.]

Something like that, though I have little in the way of proof.

[animated]

You don’t really strike me as the type to just… make something like that up. [ It’s not an admission of total belief, but it’s some kind of acceptance. ]

I’ve got a portal to Las Vegas in my living room, so a portal to another planet isn’t all that strange, I guess.

[His turn to quirk an eyebrow.]

I wasn't aware humans had that sort of technology.

[animated]

We don't. It's magic.

[causalities]

[Everything that happens on his world, as far as he knows, is the due course of technology. But then, Nehir Akambe is a telekinetic, and Alke has seen impossible things.

He tips his head to one side, studying Charlie intently a moment. Then he nods.]

Not a common thing on Earth, then?

[animated]

[ He watches Alke a second, gauging his reaction. The conclusion he comes to is either Alke is genuinely a spaceman, or he’s a really, really good actor. ]

Not really. Most people don’t even know it exists.

[causalities]

[He's an absolutely terrible actor, honestly. But he does glance back up at the sky.]

Most people don't pay attention.

[animated]

Maybe, but to be honest, it's that way by design more than coincidence.
