"Huh." Vrenille takes a moment to process all of that, filing some of it away to potentially ask further questions about later.
"We have alchemy where I'm from." It's an incredibly different sort of alchemy, though he's not to know that now. "Brewing of elixirs n' such. Only we'd say there isn't a divide 'tween science 'n magic. They're all part of the same thing, least in my world.
"Best I can tell, that's the case here too. It's a good way to think 'bout this place at least--lotta stuff that happens here's a mix of science 'n magic both. And given all the worlds you got represented, you'll run into all sorts of magic 'n powers that people brought with 'em from all over."
And then Mustang mentions his three taboos and Vrenille snorts a laugh. He's not trying to be rude, there's just such a divergence in their thinking, "Yeah: don't send women unsolicited pictures of your dick."
A beat and then, "Sorry. We're just definitely on different pages there. I'm not tryin' to say I think you're that kinda guy. Just most of the taboos here're things to do with sex, maybe things you'd never dare do back where you're from but that you'll see happening all over in this place. It tends to be a sorta culture shock at first."
