[It's interesting that in all this time Vrenille hasn't really run into any hard skeptics on the whole magic front. So this, for him, is different--there's something in this young man's eyes that tells him, even without a word, that a certain reserve or resistance remains. Granted it could just be an unflappable poker face, but gut feeling says it goes a bit deeper than that, and Vrenille is very used to trusting his gut feelings.

Perhaps the bigger irony is that he hasn't demonstrated anything about how his magic is used in a fight, which ultimately is its main purpose. That's not something Vrenille feels any need to flaunt, and certainly not to a man who can't do the same, as though to lord it over him. He spent most of his life not using magic anyway, even if it was everywhere around him.]

It's called Tyria. From what I've heard 'bout Earth, seems safe to say we got less humans, more magic, bunch of races you won't ever have heard of, and dragons. Which seems a pretty common point of disbelief.

And since on Earth it seems like dragons 'n magic are the stuff of ye olde legends and all, I'll just say we got our tech too. It's different than the tech here--no trains or phones or TV, but we got holoprojectors 'n teleporters 'n that sorta thing.
