While it's a lot like some of the stories he and his father read before the invasion, Ben is fascinated to learn how real it could be. That people live worlds with gods and dragons, of magic and realms is all kind of amazing to him. It's the first bright spot he's found in finding himself in this place.
It does let him ignore all the rest of this place for a minute, listening to Vrenille's story and considering what he's been through and all his world has faced.
"So you just have to find out what works as long term sleeping pills for dragons." He snorts, rolling his eyes. "I'm sure that's just sold at the corner drugstore. Just go right out and all good."
It's fun to tease about the catastrophe in his own life as well. If you can't joke about it then everything seems overwhelming.
"It's a little crazy but then I figure if I talked about the invasion and what I've been through and my family and all? It would sound pretty crazy too," he admits. Just his own time in a prisoner of war and what he can do now still sounds the same way.
He should have known something like that might come up given this place but that doesn't make him any less hesitant. "If I say sure, of course, you aren't going to buy that, are you?"
He hesitated, he already knows how it sounds.
"Not exactly been a high priority." Which sounds better than trying to explain the spikes hidden under his jacket and not even sure how he's meant to fulfill quota in this place once someone sees them.
