"How do they not collapse in on each other? Aren't houses heavy? The straw roofs wouldn't be able to take the wait."

"They're not straw roofs, though. They're made of concrete and have metal beams and infrastructure to hold them up."

"But metal is so rare!" She replied, thoroughly surprised. "And is concrete similar to brick? Sorry, I'm asking so many questions."

"Hey," He gave her hand a small squeeze, "It's okay, everything is knew to you, you're allowed to ask questions. And metal isn't rare anymore, a lot of things are made from it. And yeah, concrete is like better brick."

She had a simple expression cross her face as she looked at her surroundings. "Everything's changed so much."

"Yeah. It scares me sometimes at who fast things are moving…" He sighed softly, shaking his head a little.

"Question. What year is it? Before I 'turned into a statue', as you say, I believe it was 1826. I could be wrong though, I was never really good at keeping up with the times. Even though I was part of the time."

“Makes sense. And it’s 2019.” Kai replied, leading Mickey into his apartment building.

She marveled at the newness and the difference to when this New York was Lysander. "I guess it's been a long time then, huh?"

"You could say that," He sighed softly, heading towards the elevators, "Just promise me you'll try and not freak out too much."

"I'll try not to," She laughed softly. "Everything's so new, I just have to look at it all."

"That's understandable," He replied, pressing the button for the elevator, "I just don't want you getting scared over things…"

"Oh, I rarely get scared of things," Mickey replied, smiling brightly. "Even though there were many scaring things around."

He shrugged a shoulder and smiled a little, "Aight, I'll hold you too that, you know?" He raised a brow and stepped into the elevator.

She hesitated to walk in, but since Kai seemed fine with it she followed him in. "What is this…contraption?"

"It's an elevator. It's like stairs only… quicker and mechanical." Kai explained, pressing the button for his floor.

"Oh, that's so interesting!" She cried, looking around the small elevator. "Do you know how it works?"

Kai shook his head, "Nah, I don't. But I could look it up if you want me too?"

"How would you do that? Do you no longer have to send letters by crow?"

Again, he shook his head, "No, we don't. We have something called the internet which holds the answer to most questions."

"Oh, well that must be much more helpful than sending letters by crow," She giggled.

Kai smiled at her and then the doors of the elevator opened and he stepped out, "Yeah it is. Was it hard to put the messages on the crows?"

"No, not particularly," Mickey replied. "Although you would have to wait a few a few days for your letters to arrive."

Kai hummed in understanding and pulled his keys out of his pocket as they neared his door, "Damn, I'm glad we have email and text now."

"I have a question, Kai," Mickey started. "You said that I was a statue. There's normally legends surrounding statues, right? What's the one about me?"
