...Ah. I keep forgetting that other worlds aren't familiar with them. They're small worlds that can be opened up, where I came from; inside is a different place entirely. Somewhat like how this world is different to the one you came from; if you could open a way to get from your world to this one, it would be a similar idea.

I was raised in one of those small worlds. Time works differently there, it moves far faster; I was sent there with servants while I was a baby, and seventeen years passed for me. But in the main world, it had only been a matter of weeks.

It's a bit strange to think about. My father was only about as old as you are, now that I think about it.
