Ok. I'm in a strange house, I think, or a stranger library, in a city I don't know, and Mom's left me. She knows she shouldn't wander around by herself! Especially in a strange city! Maybe Daddy's with her. He'd better be

Hey... You locked in?

[librariansheart]

...
Maybe.
Who're you?

[clumsygentleman]

I am Xander. You need help?

[librariansheart]

Xander? Are you from Xing? You don't look like you're from Xing, but that sounds like a Xing name.

I think we're ok! We have food and stuff, and we can climb out of the balcony if we really need to.

[clumsygentleman]

Hmm... No. It is short for Alexander. Sunndale, California USA. I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend... and ended up here. Never heard of Xing. What country is that?

[librariansheart]

Oh! I've never heard of Sunnydale, or California USA. But there was an Alex in the village.

You don't know about Xing? It's a place where people's skin is a little more yellow-brown than ours, and their eyes tilt, and everyone's hair is black or dark brown. They know a different brand of Alchemy that here in Amestris - one that they can do at a range, and can use to heal people! It's amazing! They say they have dragons there, and that there's an Emperor!
