Haha - fair enough! Okay, let’s see. [ thoughtful, for a moment, as he considers… ] I’m from a planet called Cayley in the Eighth Galaxy. I’ve always studied the stars, and even though it’s only been twenty years or so since I started traveling through them, it feels like it’s been longer. That’s why I like it in here so much.
I have some! To be honest, I'm not that well traveled. I've only really stayed in one galaxy my entire life.
[ which is still
really impressive to normies but that's besides the point. ] I had big plans to go on a tour of the entire Interplanetary Union, but... well, those plans got interrupted. I've been some pretty weird places, though!
[ around bixing, persephone's body language relaxes, like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. it's a strange feeling, given their situation, but... it's nice. ]
[ soft... he puts a hand to his chin, thinking. weird places? his expression softens, as he lands on one. ]
Well, the planet I grew up on was pretty strange to most people. The majority of the planet was people that most people considered to be sort of ... undesirable, I guess. Most of my neighbors were smugglers or prostitutes or gang members, or all three.
[ he laughs, though. ] But they're good people. All the people in the Eighth are.

Same here, actually. The night sky reminds me of a friend from home... that's not too cheesy, is it?
no subject
Not at all. [ he grins a little, though, scooching closer. ] Tell me about them?
no subject
Nuh-uh. I shared something about my friend before, but I don't know anything about you, so you first.

Something like that?

You must have so many stories of different places you've been.

[ this was my favorite mixup also. he laughs, waving a hand. ]
It also sounds terrible! And I can assure you, Qiming, Cayley, even Beijing-beta, not a single one of our planets was like that.

It's terrifying to think about for me, too, to be honest. Dead planets are nonexistent, where we are, unless they've been blown to bits.

[ there's a little :( to that statement but its fine, he brushes past it. ] Though, I haven't seen one in a while.
