[ rose's eyes dart to his arm, but she tries to look away before he notices her curious stare. she's never seen anything like it, not where she's from. it's... probably not a good time to ask questions, though, huh. ]

Welcome to planet Iniidae! Or whatever. There's nothing but water, unexplored islands, more water, man-eating sea creatures, even more water, and a home base with way too many, uh... let's just say interesting people crammed into one place. Sounds fun, right?

[ her tone is deadpan, but she gestures to the area around her. ]

Chances are, your friends are back home. As far as they're concerned, you might not even be missing. Time could be marching on back there just like always, and you might be down here but another you might still be up there with them, and... okay, it's... ugh. Well. Nobody's exactly figured it yet. Everyone seems to have contradicting stories. It's a mess.

[ rose is totally prepared for this kid to start freaking out again, so she sort of just. averts her gaze. ]

Sooo, I'll just. Give you a minute.
