So, my home’s gone, then? That’s… Well, not’s something that happens every day.

But hey, no big deal; I can handle it.

Might as well start by introducing myself, right?

Hey, there. Name’s Flynn Rider. I’m from a kingdom called Corona -- Ever heard of it? Nice place. The obsession with the sun’s a little weird, but hey, what are you going to do?

…Look,

You're sure takin' the news well.

I'm Zeke. Ezekiel Lerish.

[storyofhowidied]

Mmm, well. I don't see the point in complaining even if I had something to complain about.

Ezekiel. Zeke. Got it. Nice to meet ya.

[thenotmagician]

Good man.

[No complaining is the way to go!]

You're in Holloway's Keep, by the way. Some kinda castle.

[storyofhowidied]

I wouldn't say that...

A castle, huh? No kidding... Well, go figure.

[thenotmagician]

Castle's aren't much of a big thing to ya?

[storyofhowidied]

Well, they're nothing new to me, if that's what you mean.

Being in one, though? Pretty neat.

[thenotmagician]

Yeah, they're pretty cool. This one's a lot simpler than th'ones we've got back home, though.

[storyofhowidied]

Oh. Well, that's kind of a bummer.

What was your home like, then? A kingdom, too, I take it?

[thenotmagician]

Nah. Any castles we have are ruins, actually. Really, really old.

[And they float! In the sky!]

[storyofhowidied]

Well, that doesn't sound very fun.

[thenotmagician]

Eh, they're nice t'look at once in a while. Big tourist attractions.

[storyofhowidied]

Eh, sounds kind of dull to me, but whatever floats your boat.

[thenotmagician]

Oi, I said nothing about 'em not being boring.

[storyofhowidied]

Fair enough, fair enough.

So, what's it like being here?

[thenotmagician]

Not all that exciting. 'Course, I haven't been here very long.

Somethin' exploded in th'woods the other day, though.

[storyofhowidied]

Eh, oh, well. I'm sure I can make it interesting.

Exploded, huh?
