Sameth has taken over a table and covered it with the pieces of various kitchen gadgets. He never knew there could be so many kinds of wafflemakers or ways to make sandwiches.

At the moment, he has an all in one egg sandwich maker taken apart and he's trying to figure out the non-stick coating.

"No, not a lot. I've only known of two but they're powerful. It's not really about choosing, more about being able to sense Death and go into Death,"

Sameth's not explaining this very well.

"Right, the kind of thing you either can or can't do," Yamato says. "Or -- destined to do, maybe."

"All of those, its a role that the Old Kingdom needs to survive."

"Necromancers? That -- doesn't exactly sound like something that helps with survival."

"No, sorry I've explained this badly. My family holds a role called Abhorsen who's job it is to protect the Old Kingdom. At the moment, my mother's in that role with my aunt as Abhorsen-in-Waiting. Necromancers have always been in the Old Kingdom and creatures of Free Magic which Abhorsens fight and control to keep the people safe. Have we met?"

Its been a while since he's been in Milliways and is out of practice with explaining his world.

"Oh, oh, I see," Yamato says. "Your family are Abhorsens, and you fight necromancers, and other stuff."

Simple.

"I don't -- think so. Can't remember us meeting."

"Yes and other things. I'm Sameth," He never knows how best to talk about his role as Wallmaker and Prince here, better to just go with it.

"Yamato," Yamato replies, giving him a short nod. "It's nice to meet you."

"You too. Where are you from?" His clothing seems like an Earth.

"Odaiba, on Earth," Yamato says. "It's not where I'm entering from right now, but it's where I live, at least."

Or one home among many. Either/or.

"Do you travel a lot?" Sameth's amount of travel has changed since he used to go back and forth to Ancelstierre.

"Yeah, you, er, you could say that," Yamato says. "I've definitely been travelling around a lot the past few months, anyway."

"Is it for work? I know with my various duties that keeps me on the move."

"A kind of work. Nobody's paying me for any of it, but it's a duty of sorts, at least."

"What is it? If you don't mind saying, my duties go from fixing things to trying to help with complicated situations but my sister's better at that part of things," Ellimere's a really good politician.

"It's complicated. I guess you could say that my team and I are problem-solvers of a kind? Or problem-solvers-slash-monster-fighters."

"That's not too complicated. What kinds of monsters do you fight?" That description fits everyone in Sameth's family.

"I'm simplifying it," Yamato says wryly. "Since otherwise it'd take a while to explain. As for the monsters we fight, they're the, er, data-based residents of another world."

"Data-based like computers? How do you fight them?"

His sense of that kind of technology is that its energy based.

"By hitting them really hard, usually. Er, we have monsters of our own who are partnered with us," Yamato says.

"That would be useful."

"It is. We definitely would've died years ago without them."

"How did you meet with your partners? Do those data monsters live in your world?"

"No, they live in the other world. We first met them when we were abducted from summer camp and dragged into that world."

"Their world abducted you?" That's awful and complicated.
