"I suppose that's fair. Is there anything I should know about this place so I'll be able to live here and adjust easier?"

"Well, there isn't really much. From what I can tell, the most you'll have to get used to is most people being my size, and more likely than not going to come down to greet you than from the sides." Matthew looked over, smiling some. "Oh, and our animals look different. You've seen the chicks, right?"

"Mhmm." She looked over at the sleeping chicks in the nest. "They're definitely very different than the animals we have back at home. I would ask what else is different, but I suppose you wouldn't know, would you? They're all familiar to you."

"Yeah… Rowan does his best to point them out, but he hasn't really seen very many animals yet." Matthew smiled some, looking down at the griffin trailing behind him.

She nodded a bit, humming softly to herself. "I'm sure you've met Rowan's dog. Do you guys have anything like dogs here?"

"Well, Fluff here is our equivalent of dogs," Matthew said. "And didn't Rowan bring his dog along..?" Matthew looked around, a bit confused.

"Yeah, he did. She's been really quiet. And exploring." Rowan's mother whistled and Maisie came running out of the forest she'd been sniffing around in.
(Us, who kinda forgot she existed for a while:)

"Ah, okay then." Matthew smiled as the dog came running up, holding Rowan in his arms still.

"She's really curious about this whole place, which I suppose makes sense. It's very different than the city she used to live in."

"Well, I must admit, your world has a much different definition of city than mine does. That place we were, that was the most populated city in the known world. But the city you and Rowan were in…"

"It's pretty big, yeah. There are even more densely populated places than that, believe it or not." She laughed softly to herself.

Matthew shook his head some, letting out a breath. He let his wings relax some, too, just barely not dragging on the ground.
"So many people… And no one with wings? Really?"

"Nope. Nobody on earth has wings." Rowan's mother shook her head a bit. "No magic, either."

Matthew shook his head again.
"That, that's something I could never imagine."

"We get along just fine with technology." She smiled gently. "Mechanical and electrical stuff."

"Alright, then." Matthew smiled, still a bit skeptical. Still, he didn't voice this- he figured they got alone fine when they didn't compare Matthew's world to it.

"We're even able to fly with technology, technically. We just need big machines to do it."

"Really?" Matthew tilted his head some, looking back at his own wings. "Because, I think wings would be the best way to fly."

"But wouldn't you get tired with wings?" She asked. "We've got big things called planes that tons of people can be in all at once, and they can fly."

"Not if you find enough winds to ride on," Matthew said. "And I much prefer being the one controlling the flight than the thought of being cooped up with a bunch of other people and not have any control at all."

She shrugged a bit. "But then you don't have to worry about getting tired."

"When we get tired, we rest," Matthew pointed out. "Besides, we can go for miles. It's good with me, besides. We rarely need to go as far as we are able to."

"I suppose so." She shrugged a bit. "The point is that we're able to manage without wings anyway."

"True, true. I shouldn't judge for something you can't control." Matthew chuckled softly.

She laughed softly as well. "Yeah… very few living things in our world have wings. Pretty much just birds."
