Why have we not returned to Exsilium? The danger is over, isn't it?

[Kili looks frustrated and tired. He's not used to being cooped up indoors like this, and no one can really blame a dwarf for not understanding radiation. and nuclear bombs.]

This place wasn't meant for living on. We can't even go outdoors! It doesn't feel like we're living anymore, merely... surviving.

And Kang, forgive me, but it seems it will be a while longer before I can continue with the blade my uncle forged you.

Maybe you'll be long dead, but I've got at least another century and a half left. [Kili huffs indignantly.]

[justgo]

That's cute. [And somehow, she's a little surprised she hasn't met someone with twice her lifespan.] Even if you do make it, this kind of poison's persistent. I meant it when I said it'll be around even when we're all gone.

Couple hundred years, maybe.

[kilimanjaro]

A couple hundred years? [Now that's just ridiculous.]

So...none of us will ever make it back there.

[justgo]

Sounds about the case. Not unless we've got someone who can withstand that kinda thing.

Then again, can't say I'd be surprised if we did.

[He frowns slightly.] I don't understand.

We've got some gifted folk here - magic and human and all that science fiction work. [Pause as she looks at the camera because, you kinda fall under that. She's just saying.]

If someone did have the ability to resist that kind of science, they might just be here. Though I wouldn't get my hopes up too much.

[kilimanjaro]

[Um excuse you, Kili is fantasy, not sci-fi.

Kili's confused expression clears and he nods.] I see. [Though he has no idea what science fiction is. Seems like magic to him, no matter how many times people try to clarify it to him.]

[same thing I mean oops

Those two words? More than enough for her to squint. She'll probably regret it, but:] All right, which part doesn't make sense?
