[ he's grateful the emotional echo is gone this week, even though his expression flickers sadly anyway. ]

...makes sense. These ones are really big.

[ a matched pause as he looks out at the area. ]

Well, yeah. It's bizarre, but in a different way we're used to.

A friend of mine lives on a train like this, in fact. She used to tell me stories about it.

Though, I'm not sure there was a dog car.

[clockpunk]

A train like this? With... cars that hold entire places?

...in space?

[fried]

A train that certainly has some magic going on with it, yes. It's called the Astral Express.

[clockpunk]

Wow... that's probably the coolest place to live I've heard of. How did you and her become friends?

[fried]

She and her friends showed up on a sister ship of ours for the Wardance. They helped us solve the borisin problem we were having, so I owe her quite a lot.

[clockpunk]

[ uh ]

I don't know a lot of those words, but I guess she helped you out with a fight...?

[fried]

Oh - yes. My apologies. The Wardance is a competition where our most talented soldiers duel in front of a crowd. It isn't to the death, to be clear, they're friendly duels.

She - Stelle, her name is - helped fight against the wolf men who aimed to disrupt it.

[clockpunk]

I guess kind of like a military Olympics...?

[ someone trying to ruin friendly competition with their own garbage? sounds familiar. ]

Sounds like a good friend to have on side. She bring that train around to visit often, after?
