I - this is - [ Very clean. Very strange. Very frightening. But that he knows how to use this contraption must mean he is meant to be here.

He stops in front of the large windows. ]

Is this the realm of the Gods?

Where are my daughters?

entertainment.

for gods, or for men. haven't figured that out yet.

Does it matter?

one is a lot easier to stop than the other.

Women are more creative than gods, quicker-lived and more fickle.

[wow, he almost laughs. not that it would have been heard if he did, but the moment is there.]

if it's women, we may be doomed.

Women are stronger than men.

some women.

Women bleed. They take more pain. They were meant to be the stronger.

[...has this guy been talking to Saoirse or what.]

do you think yourself weak?

I'm not a warrior.

weak in spirit?

I would rather raise a child than fight. But if a child were threatened, I would fight.

that is good. you will be fine here. what is you job?

I am an engineer.

and before this?

a blacksmith

then you won't be completely useless.

How could any place that can make glass like this need a blacksmith?

we do a lot ourselves. your ship may need you.

you think I could have a forge?

can't say for sure. but it's possible. we're among stars.

what do stars have to do with it?

where i am from, it was once an unattainable dream, sending a person so far into the sky that they were in the midst of starts. it's less that, now, but nowhere near the level of this... whatever this is. if we can travel among stars, you can have a forge. it's statistically possible.

thank you. I didn't think of it like that.
