[Leslie blinks a few times. Now that he's looking down at her, she realizes how intimidating a figure he cuts. If there was anyone whose appearance was fit to be a villain, this was it. But, after a couple of seconds of being visibly startled, she relaxes again. She's met taller people and he doesn't have the kind of look in his eye of someone who wants to hurt her.

...Also this is a dream, so she doesn't feel quite as much of a need to be cautious. In fact, one part of what he said caught her attention to the point she's temporarily forgotten they're talking about hanging with an enslaving colonial force. "Any civilization." So he's familiar with more than one. Having been taught only the history of her own country, she brightens up considerably at the thought of meeting some traveler.]


Any civilization -- how many do you know? Have you traveled outside the empire?

[By which she means the Rucardius Empire, obviously.]
