Are there others among the displaced not human? What attitudes have you encountered?

It is my understanding that it would be best to hide what distinguishes me from others if I am to leave the safehouse. [ eventually... ]

Depending upon how subtle these differences are, you may not have to do much, if anything. Mine own features stick out like a sore thumb, I'm afraid.

[shorelined]

From a distance, it is difficult to tell the difference. Close proximity is another matter.

[verflair]

Well, there's the rub I suppose. I guess I would advise caution until you're more able to gauge the locals. Pack a scarf if you plan on going out and about.

[shorelined]

I think I will. Thank you.

[verflair]

But of course. Ere we depart, might I have your name?

[shorelined]

Kaldur'ahm.

A pleasure to meet you, in a matter of speaking. My name is X’rhun Tia. I may be relatively new here, but if there is aught you need, do not hesitate to ask.

[shorelined]

The pleasure is mine.

[ never mind the circumstances. ]

I appreciate the offer.
Do you know how long it has been as hot as it is?

[verflair]

I’ve no idea, but gods above, it can cool down anytime it likes. I hail from an arid clime and it’s even a bit much for me.

[shorelined]

I prefer cooler temperatures.

[ and his atlantean physiology makes him particularly vulnerable to dehydration, so he's not coping well at all, but he's not going to mention his own weaknesses on the network like that. ]

[verflair]

As would we all, I'm certain. They've a ration on the water right now, thanks to the heat.

[shorelined]

So I have heard.

[verflair]

I've no idea how long that is to be in effect, either, but I suppose we've no choice but to endure it.

[shorelined]

And so we will, I am sure.

[verflair]

That's the spirit!

[shorelined]

I thank you for your time, X’rhun Tia.

[verflair]

But of course. Best of luck to you.

[shorelined]

To you as well.
