[IC] Lost in Dreams [Tereza]

"Then you have come quite a long way. I never did understand how you got here."

"A salakor? an intelligent servant conjured from the heart of a gem. You've never met one? well, you'll meet Hyrim soon enough."

"The world is flat. You can see that. It extends forever in all directions. If you go too far from a sun you'll freeze, unless of course you have magic. Even so, Those are long journeys, and only crazy people make them. And I'm a water hunter talking here!"

Hyrim introduces himself in a deep voice:
"Salaam, Tereza [Bow]. I am Hyrim, steward's assistant for the house of the rhino. Illios tells me strange things about you and has invited you to the family estate. I can assure you there will be no improprieties, and that the estate is well furnished."

When Tereza starts checking if Hyrim knows about round worlds, he treats it very seriously, but very academically. He asks very intelligent but childish questions, such as what would drive the night and day cycle, how to keep the earth from falling into the sun, how to keep the water from falling into space, and so on.
