"I don't see why not."

Thin smile. "Find out, I guess."

"Yeah."

Nod.

"Politics? Culture?"

"Politics is mostly the heritable kind - the Emperor has his empire, my family's got some mountains - except some people are immortal and Esarkan is super extra immortal, his soul is self-resurrecting, he considers assassinating him a form of peaceful protest, so there isn't always much inheriting going on - there's a bunch of different cultures, a lot of stuff varies by region. Dunno where you'd end up exactly - I'd be asking Esarkan for some land nobody's using or just waiting three days to see if I get the power to pull a whole island out of the ocean for you. I'd probably put it off the southwestern coast, for the sun and because the south coast has got a couple of big islands already."

Nod.

"- how're people goona take the droid."

"...not sure. It's sort of - not a concept we have - I think people will vary in how weirded out they are by 'that's a person made of metal from another world'..."

Nod. "Better than home, anyway."

"It sure sounds like it."

Nod.

"Your world kind of sounds like it has a lot of problems."

"- yeah."

"I might want to do something about that eventually, but it can wait until you're all settled."

"...not very tractable, most of it."

"We'll see."

Amused snort. "Get you some books on the politics, too."

"Sounds like a plan!"

Heh.

Hmm. "Anything else, questions?"

"Can't think of anything."

Nod. "DZ?"

"Yes, ma'am?"

"- missing anything?"

"...basic accommodations, ma'am?"

"- expect we'll be fine. I c'n build something if need be."

"...all right." She sounds dubious.
