How unusual is it for a species to come from more than one planet?

[knowledgeordeath]

It's not terribly unusual. But my understanding of this fleet is that there are multiple universes that people have been pulled from.

[samahl]

And humans just seem like they pop up in most of them.

[knowledgeordeath]

That was mildly surprising to me. [Humans aren't really that advanced. It's shocking they'd appear so often.]

[samahl]

On Thedas, they are well known for being hardy and surprisingly adaptable.

[knowledgeordeath]

Are they? Perhaps it is because we have so little experience with them that we truly have not been able to witness this.

[samahl]

That's probably lucky. They're all over Thedas.

[knowledgeordeath]

Here as well it seems.

[samahl]

That is certainly true and very noticeable.

It's a good thing so many of them are cute.

[knowledgeordeath]

I hadn't noticed.

[samahl]

[He grins.] I'll take that to mean that I'm the cutest you've seen. Even if you didn't mean it that way. That's how I'm choosing to take it.

[knowledgeordeath]

[There's a long pause as he eats several bites before...]

That statement is not inaccurate.

[samahl]

[Cyril laughs, the sound gently and joyous.] Oh, that's going to get me through some lonely nights, I hope you realize.

[knowledgeordeath]

[And he looks up immediately.]

You are lonely?

[samahl]

It's space. We're surrounded by the void. That implies a certain amount of loneliness doesn't it?

[Yep. And he's going to pretend that's what he meant.]

[knowledgeordeath]

I asked if you were lonely.

[samahl]

Perhaps.

[knowledgeordeath]

You could reach out to others. To talk to them.

[samahl]

I am talking to you right now, aren't I? Does that count? [His tone is good natured, like he wants to let Kolivan know he's not lonely right now.]

[knowledgeordeath]

Yes. You are here with me. With so little to do in this place it would be reasonable for you to speak to me more often.

[samahl]

I bother you any time I see you, I'd think you'd start to go tired of me. [He's teasing again, and he nudges Kolivan a little to try and show that.]

[knowledgeordeath]

That is unlikely. You are...a change of pace.

[samahl]

So you want me to talk to you when I feel lonely?

[knowledgeordeath]

A stressed mental state means that you will not be at your best should you need to be.

[That's Kolivan for he's concerned.]

[samahl]

What if it's in the middle of the night?
