[ So Pratt's aware of Iceland - enough to recognize the name of the capital - and Reynir has just absolutely no idea where Montana might have been on Earth. Is it in the south? Are there palm trees? He is honestly going to have to see if he can find any information on Old World Earth in this place because his lack of knowledge is rapidly becoming very embarrassing. It had never really mattered before. Compared to most people in his world he's travelled to he ends of the known world. It's just that the known world is a hell of a lot smaller than it used to be.

[ He hasn't met many people here who he can relate to, much. They're all from such very different worlds. So it's nice, to find this one thing in common with someone else. ]
In Brúardalur everyone still thinks I'm this totally clueless, helpless, naive kid that has to be sheltered from the world.
[ Definitely... none of that's still true... not one bit... ]
I thought I'd be more homesick when I first arrived, but - it's actually been sort of cool. Like, an adventure. Just a lot less dangerous than the other adventures I've been on since I left home.

Did you actually drive your car into a fence or was that just a random example?
