Celestia When You Remarked Upon My Seasonal Spirit As Unusual
Did You Mean Outright Objectionable
Because If So This Tea Will Have To Go To Mami

[trickmyheart]

Not at all. I simply found it surprising you knew about such a holiday, given you are not from Earth.

[ Gimme dat tea, missy ]

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah Youre Right And Quite Considerate Actually
It Wasnt Practiced In My Homeworld
Ive Just Had To Adopt It Here Because Twelfth Perigees Eve Isnt A Date On Your Calendar And Getting Gifts For That Reason Would Unnecessarily Confuse A Lot Of People

[trickmyheart]

Isn't a date on our calendar?

Is yours so different?

[speakveryclearly]

Really Different
We Had Two Moons

[trickmyheart]

My ... how curious.

I wonder, is there a form of interplanetary jetlag?

[speakveryclearly]

Funnily Enough Yes
Though The Term Was Unfamiliar To Me Before Coming Here As The "Jet" Technology Was Of An Era Long Before My Own

[trickmyheart]

Hee hee ... I must admit, I am quite curious. How does one travel, in the future?

[speakveryclearly]

Youre Probably Familiar With Devices Possessed Of Two Three Or Four Wheels
Made Of Metal And Used For Short Distances
I Will Admit That My Planet Was Home To A Variety Of Fauna Who Were Effective Mounts For Land Sky Or Sea Meaning We Never Employed Too Much Machinery For Transportation Over Moderate Distances
And For Long Distances
We Had Spaceships

[trickmyheart]

I must admit, that's far more reasonable than I was expecting.

[speakveryclearly]

We Could Make Good Use Of More Spaceships Here
Unfortunately I Never Memorized Those Schematics Just As Much As You Couldnt Produce An Aeroplane Simply Because Those Were Common Technology

Unless You Can

[trickmyheart]

Yes, I'm afraid that would be out of my field.

But, if Exsilium had any shred of intelligence, they would kidnap themselves an engineer.
