[video] His people would have at least nine historically known words for the stuff, after all

*Yes, this was totally worth bringing his dinner up to the library to share. Enoch is seated in the terminal chair, a plate of glazed chicken in his lap and a glass of rosewater wine in his hand. While his words and manner are formal, there's a real, if exhausted, gratitude in his voice.*

I must give gratitude where it's due. *Enoch raises the glass.* It's much appreciated. Thank you, Riki.

((backdated to the dinner hours of the first, of course.))

It is..on the one hand, it is nice to enjoy a few drinks and not have to worry too much about it..on the other, it is hard when a friend passes out while you are talking.

No, he does not. It shows that not even Riki is wholly bad.

No human being truly is, even if they do many evil things.

[..While it was unusual to see someone who shared chaos's viewpoint, it certainly wasn't a bad thing.]

It is nice to see that someone else agrees with me on this.

It is easy to forget that Earth is by its nature between good and evil, when you are on it.

..The same goes with the universe, when humanity has spread itself out far enough.

Earth as a realm, then, the one between Heaven and The Darkness. The world of physical substance.

[chaos was half-tempted to say that there was no Heaven and Hell as people thought of them in his universe. However, he couldn't hide that utterance behind a classroom lesson like he might have done with Nesir, and it wasn't like Enoch wouldn't catch it.

..Best to just go with the flow.]

The universe that living humans can perceive normally.

*And chaos has happened upon a thing that fits exceptionally well with his own universe, lucky him. He is also lucky that Enoch has no idea who "C1753848" represents, so he gets none of the mild mistrust he'd garnered from him this time.*

Exactly. Whatever we call it, at least we can agree on its nature.

*It's all semantics. "Earth" was just easier to say even if it was including more than just the planet(he may not remember where or from whom he learned of Earth's physical nature, a sphere among a sea of stars instead of a plane beneath a blanket of them, but learning things that ran counter to what seemed common sense to observe tended to stick once learned). Enoch could scarcely imagine Earth's population becoming so large, though...*

[Call it luck or just chaos holding onto his own beliefs, but it was good that he wasn't getting any of the mistrust that he had gotten last time. While chaos was used to behavior like that, due to his long life, that didn't mean that he liked it.

Sadly, chaos could remember how large the population of Earth had gotten..right before it had been lost to humans. After that incident, the population had shrunk a bit again, which was expected..but still rather horrible, in chaos's opinion.]

Right..and there is nothing wrong with having different terms, as long as both parties know what they are talking about.
