All over the gala…. That brought Aoba’s head craning back around to stare, though this time it wasn’t the sheer knowledge of an explored galaxy so much as—
“Me?” Talking about space and space travel was one thing, but to go across space like that? Teleporting three miles had been bewildering enough! Aoba didn’t even know if what he felt was awe or fear at the prospect.
“I…I hope it doesn’t come to that!” Okay, maybe ‘fear’ was more likely. He’d never even been in a plane, much less…what, a space ship? Or would that just be more teleporting? “Portals…according to the Guide at least, they’re everywhere. You just can’t…see them until you’re, ah…a ‘Chosen One’. And even that was an accident.”
Aoba stirred his bowl a bit then shook his head with a wry kind of expression. “Anyway, Declan…you don’t need to put yourself down so much. It’s not like I lived alone before I got caught up in all of this—I lived with my Granny. I’m used to someone else being around, so having a place all to myself would actually feel weirder than you being here in it, too.”
