Welcome to Gaia! ::

Boyan could SWEAR there was only one story to the udon-ya last time he visited. Granted, the structure in front of him is more like one-and-a-half stories, with the half-story being a partially erected framework, but this is, nonetheless, something that simply WAS NOT THERE before.

Ahh, those are simply more questions, more questions for the ever-growing list inside his mind. He would simply pencil it in behind "why is my kitchen accumulating space dirt?" and "Is it true that a duck's quack doesn't echo?"

For now, he'll focus on the mountain of questions that have been piling up for days. And rather than knocking (as if coming into physical contact with the udon-ya would cause it to come crashing to the ground), he projects the loudest, clearest greeting he can manage.

:B?

Boyan whirls around, bits of surprise projected like small globules of mud kicked up during a sudden rainstorm. gonk ?!

Oh!

Grandpa!

Boyan has been looking for him for a while now, did Grandpa know? Things had happened, the dirt under Grandpa's bed had been disturbed (but not by Boyan, he is clear to emphasize), and also Boyan had visited the Danish! --But it had raised more questions than they answered.

He was hoping Grandpa could help him?

Boyan cares not for mess (as Setsushi is likely painfully aware).

But he does nod; it's best, he thinks, to share knowledge while he is able to absorb it. He thinks. Actually, he's not very sure... but he's been feeling so much clearer lately; so much more Boyan the family man than Boyan who draws on walls. So that's a good sign, right? 3nodding

Or, if Grandpa doesn't mind enjoying the weather, they can simply sit outside before the summer arrives. What does he think?

Maybe, Boyan answers as he sits in the grass. Besides it not being the Silver World at all (which he thinks is old news)? Perhaps, maybe...

Well, maybe not.

Perhaps Rika would know where he could perhaps dig for more information? The one he thought would be able to help him turned out to be very little help at all, and Boyan felt so horribly foolish speaking to him or her? Even if he learned their perception of the Golden World was exactly what Grandpa had said of the Silver World--

Boyan thinks, perhaps, he has been collecting his puzzle pieces out of order.

Maybe a little of both, Boyan wonders? He tends to ask questions the Chaoses don't care to answer, though he does point out that they have begun explaining things so that he may more easily understand them. Toast and jelly, an the space bakery, for one.

--Is it even POSSIBLE to exhaust the chaoses?

It is a shame, then, that Boyan has not been TAKING notes.

But he does remember what he has learned, at least, and he would be all too happy to share.

For instance, the Jinsui that has been taking care of his lovelybeautiful daughter, and the Jin that Shuuken seems to believe is evil? Boyan doesn't know if they are the same person or not, but he does know they are both scales of the Silver dragon. He doesn't know what that means, though, and he doesn't know how many scales there are as the chaoses themselves don't know.

And then there is the Silver World/Space Danish problem; the Jinsui that Boyan spoke with also mentioned it being the Silver World despite Boyan knowing better, and like he'd said earlier, sie referred to the Golden world in the same way that Grandpa referred to the Silver. As a land of the dead, or something like that? Not even particularly believing it to be real, either? It was the only part of the encounter that Boyan is really certain he understood.

Boyan agrees the Silver World and Golden World are both real; the chaoses referred to them as two sides of the same toast. But the Silver World THEY are visiting is not the TRUE Silver World; more of a space danish, really. Same bakery, different cases.

And Boyan knows that the Silver Dragon is inviting them to the Space Danish, but... as to who is bringing Porcelain to Gaia? Boyan will have to ask...

...

Jin is bringing them to Gaia.

Boyan doesn't know. He honestly doesn't know.
