:::Kal clutched at his chest, breathing hard:::
Wh-
:::He was afraid for a split second that some sort of Tropo enemy machine was in front of him, but his body realized before even he did that the temperature was now tepid, and the surrounding area was void of sunlight. He was in the Brink:::
Luca... :::he gasped::: mercy...
You- you scared the crap out of me. :::Kal didn't have enough bearings back to contemplate the appearance of the man in front of him:::

That is a fairly common reaction. [breathe] My name is Andrew Parker. May I know your name?

:::Kal was catching his breath::: Ugh-
Yes. My name is Kal...
:::he didn't feel like explaining his title. He was hoping the ornate garb he'd fallen asleep in didn't give it away though.
Kal began to wonder if this person would recognize the fact that it was royal clothing at all since he didn't know what time he'd come from... when he really began to think about how Andrew could possibly have come by such an appearance.
But how do you begin to ask a person something like that?:::
What happened to your face?

[Reaches up and touches the cold metal with a dark brown glove thoughtfully.]
The old one was damaged, along with a good deal of the rest [breathe] of my body. Doctor McColn replaced it.

Gods... I'm sorry, my friend. :::Kal's breath was just about all caught up now:::
I didn't mean to put it like that, just. I tend to get out of sorts when woken up...like that. I thought- :::He rubbed his face:::
Man... :::When he took a closer look, Kal could tell that the mechanisms keeping Andrew together were a very old technology.:::
I guess you're not new to the place? When are you from?

:::Kal nodded:::
Year 20-ER... that's something like the 31st century by your calendar.
:::Then he blinked a moment, he the year 2007 was familiar:::
...have you met Luana yet? I believe she's from the same year.

[Human eye brightens a bit, but otherwise he remains expressionless.] I have known her for longer than I have had memory.

Like... your on-board mem?

No, you do not understand. I was not always like this. I was [breathe] like you once, all flesh and blood. There was a time when I, too, could walk under the sun.
[He casts his eyes downward, then closes them. He normally does not speak for so long.] We were raised together. [breathe] She is like my sister.

You know her from outside the Brink?

:::Kal blinked, opened his mouth to speak, and then closed it:::
uh- :::He may have easily said that they were romantically involved, but something about that red eye made Kal uncomfortable talking about it:::
She and I are close...

[For less than a second he appears to smile.] So you are the one she mentioned.
