[The sounds of outside filter through the network, distant with little to be heard beyond the faint rustle of the wind, but there nonetheless. A distinctive clink-fwoosh of a lighter disrupts anything further, followed by the slow crackle of burning paper and tobacco and a satisfied inhale and steady exhale. When he finally speaks, it's with a tone that lacks interest.]

Well, isn't this quaint. Doubt I would have believed it were I not seeing it with my own eyes. At least the woman greeting me was persuasive enough. [You can practically hear the dirty little smirk.]

Even so, I'm not quite sure how I feel out of my home and sent on my merry way towards college kid dorm rooms. Or rather, I'm perfectly aware of how I feel about it, just the words I'm looking for aren't for public ears.

Still. Judging by the archives on this thing, there's plenty of you about who know this world, so come on, share your wisdom with an outsider, would you? One can never know too much.

[A pause as he inhales another lungful of smoke, eventually adding with a thoughtful exhale:] Oh, and don't patronise me with the basics. I'm curious, not stupid.

Libraries are a little dated fr my taste. Granted it will have it's uses when I need to look deeper into the history of this place.

[James does his best not to eye up the hostess and instead turns his attention to the wine menu. Ugh the fucking prices for some of this is insane.]

[Ah yes, you people from the not-medieval fantasy world and your technology.

And had he chosen to indulge and eye up the hostess, Anora probably wouldn't have given two shits about it. After all, it was something her first husband did when he thought she wasn't looking so call her used to it.]

Be careful of what history you do choose to learn, for we may just as well go back in time and "correct" what has been.

So it may very well change right under your nose.

[He perks up considerably at the mention of this time travel thing, peering over the top of the wine list with a smirk.]

Have you done any of that yet?

[Like an excitable school child.]

[selfloyalty]

Going back in time?

[She's looking over her menu, realizing she actually isn't in the mood for a heavy meal, and catches Bond's gaze as he looks up.]

Yes, I have. There have been two missions since I have been here, if my memory serves me correctly.

[doubleoohbaby]

Sounds rather exciting, do you not think?

[He can't wait to be kicking ass in various time lines.]
