But then... [frowns, but he bows]

My manners are not what they were. Greetings.

[... returns the bow awkwardly. human emotions, if Xavier is looking. with a spark of something inhuman underneath.]

The situation has changed considerably. So - that's all right.

That's an understatement if I ever heard any.

[bland smile]

[slight nod]

Our world is long dead.

That's what I want to know. Why did it happen?

... that is a complicated question. To answer briefly: we had to stay in the Sacred City far long than even the King anticipated. Eventually, all the protections and strongholds we built up began to fail, one way or another. The earth devoured nearly everyone who sought shelter there, eventually.

Well. That's all I wanted to know.

[slight nod]

You may see several blanks from Sabra here. They are not native to the planet.

Then where do they come from?

Other worlds. A multitude of them. King brought them to compete in the games and bolster our failing power sources.

[wow. just wow]

That is a long and complicated history of its own.

Will it ever be noted, I wonder.

... it always was. But the library is long destroyed. So - there is only what I have left inside my own head.

... Yes. But it's there, at least.

Yes. Theoretically, I can write it down.

[smiles, weakly]

Isn't that a start?

... writing is proving to be a difficult, now that it is no longer an essential function of my being.

I wouldn't mind writing if you are willing to dictate.

You would be willing...?

For knowledge's sake, yes.

[considers this ... then nods]

All right. That would be acceptable.

Splended. I'll meet with Henrietta for parchment.

You've already been informed about the gods here, I take it?

Vaguely. Not in enough detail as I would have liked.
