Richard: ...You all right, Connor?

Connor: I just . . . realize how much of this world I don't know. I am the most advanced model CyberLife has ever produced, but here . . . I know nothing, I understand nothing. I might as well be completely lacking in protocols and data because so much of it just doesn't apply here. Mythological creatures are real and fantasy is reality. I . . . how do I reconcile it all?

Richard: ...You take things in one bit at a time and trust people like me and Ziomi to help explain as best we can.

Connor: ................ *LED settles and he nods* Thank you, Captain.

Richard: *smiles* You'll be all right, Connor. *that said, he'll start to tell Connor about social standings... and why Connor will have to change his clothes and keep his LED hidden...*

Connor: */clearly/ uncomfortable...with /all/ of it...but he just nods*

Richard: ...Just follow Ziomi's lead on things like that. She's a really good judge of character.

Connor: Got it, Captain.

*And with that, they'll find Ziomi. She's gotten a bath, a change of clothes, and some food. She's with the children and telling a story. By this time, it's getting dark.*

Connor: *will hang back with Richard, listening*

Ziomi: *is...a really good story teller. She'll wrap up and hand out small carved figures, and shoo the children off to play before shifting around a bit.* ...Connor? *did she hear him approach?*

Connor: *approaches at that* Yes. I'm here, Ziomi. *will softly touch her shoulder*

Ziomi: *softly covers Connor’s hand with her own* Learn a lot this afternoon?
