"I'm sure I'm safe, yeah," he answered with a small laugh. "And uh, you might want to sit back down. This might take a while to explain."
Thankfully, the ground around the swing set was worn enough that grass would no longer grow there. He crouched down, and with his finger, drew two large circles in the dirt.
"So uh, there are two realms. Tharia, and Meridia." He points to each of the circles as he "names" them. "We're over here right now, in Tharia. The Order is over there, in Meridia. Where I'm actually from. Most people can't just go from one realm to another." And he drew some squiggly X's between the circles as if that would show as much. "They're completely separate. They're like... parallel universes or dimensions or somethin', no one's really sure why there are two realms. But there are.
"Pretty much everyone here in Tharia knows about Meridia, but not a lot of people in Meridia know about Tharia. And even fewer of 'em can actually get here. Even if someone in the Order knows this place exists, I know for damn sure they have no way to get here." He sighs. "Yet. I'm pretty sure they're workin' on it. But it also means they have no idea that I'm here. Hell, I don't even think they know my mom's originally from here, or they'd be tryin' even harder to get to me. Use me. Whatever. You know?"
He gave Oliver a small smile, really hoping that all of that made some sort of sense. He wasn't exactly confident in his ability to explain things. He probably contradicted himself a time or two. Well, damn...
