I prefer the myths about dragons. Mm, but none of those end very well.

[supertorso]

There's gotta be one somewhere that ends well.

[fantasycliche]

That probably depends on which side you're rooting for.

[supertorso]

There's enough universes out there that there's probably a few from both sides.

[fantasycliche]

You would certainly think so.

[ a beat ]

Krypton, is that where you're from?

[supertorso]

Yeah, it's home planet.

[fantasycliche]

Does it-- [ a pause, as she scrapes together what few science terms she's managed to put together. VERY CAREFULLY: ] Orbit the same sun as this planet?

[supertorso]

No, it's quite a ways away from Earth. Light years.

[fantasycliche]

[ what in the world-- ] What's a light year?

[supertorso]

It's about six trillion miles.

[fantasycliche]

It's a distance, then? Not a length of time?

[supertorso]

Got it in one! I'm not sure why they did it that way, but it's easier than talking in trillions of miles.

[fantasycliche]

[ a thoughtful pause ]

Is there a form of travel that can cover a distance like that?

[supertorso]

There's a few of them.

[fantasycliche]

Like what? And how long do they take?
