The quiet walk calmed Booker down. It reminded him of so many evenings spent skulking about in the dangerous parts of town, enjoying the weather as he looked out for trouble. It was nice of his guest to be quiet.

I have met a few other people who come from either my world, or one damn close to it, but from an earlier time period. I came from a city called New York on a planet called Earth, near the start of the 21th century. I doubt you have heard of it." Booker climbed over the rubble of a fallen overpass, talking and walking at the same time. He also kept his voice pitched not to carry too far ( ... )

"I played a game called Dungeons and Dragons when I was younger. I'm pretty sure that your world was one of the settings described for that game. And yeah, it does all make my head hurt after a while." Booker seemed more amused than annoyed by it at the moment at least, a small smile on his face ( ... )
