((from here))

[As he has said, it does take Lahabrea a bit of time to arrive in the Royal Quarter. But no longer than might be expected for someone who has had to walk from another part of the city - while he could have chosen to fly instead, he sees no immediate reason to hurry. True, he's counting on the fact that Szelhamos will be easy to find once he does arrive. But that he figures he can deal with when it should happen to come up and not before.]

[Fortunately, perhaps, Lahabrea is more than willing to announce himself. He has, after all, not forgotten that Szel has at least some manner of visual impairment. And even absent that, he is perfectly willing to be the one to begin a conversation, even if he does cut directly to the chase.]

I presume you had a location in mind for whatever explanation you intended to offer?

[Lahabrea has no objections to it being here, of course. But he will defer to whatever decision Szel should make.]

[For all that Lahabrea would not have found it out of the ordinary to be invited to Szelhamos' apartment should that be his preference, neither does he have any complaints about not. Either location offered will suit well enough, and it is hardly his to choose besides.]

The cafe will suffice.

[There's a nod with the words, for all it passes unseen, and then Lahabrea falls in pace as Szelhamos starts to make for the cafe in question.]

[Lahabrea's natural tendency towards emotional stoicism probably does not help, in the case. On the other hand, he seems perfectly willing to tolerate this particular line of questioning, which surely has to count for something.]

We may. But I have no objections to this.

[Even if it's just coffee, that is still not anything that he would consider to be a great hardship, for the sake of conversation.]

There is no singular unifying term, as there would be in the system you have mention. Fulms and yalms would be the most common unit of measurement, in most cases.

As you wish.

[It's offered perfectly neutrally. It doesn't matter in the slightest to Lahabrea what name the measurement system should be given. Whether or not he'll actually refer to it by that name is another question entirely, that can be something for later.

As for his own order, Lahabrea makes it in a much the same way as he might anything else - straighforwardly and with minimal outward emotion. As if it is merely another interaction, for all that it is very much necessary so that they might be able to set and discuss that which they intend to.

And either way, once his order is made, he follows Szelhamos to the table in question.

It does, admittedly, take a minute before he answers, but most of that is due to eyeballing the cane in question and taking a moment to hold up the length in his mind's eye.]


By my own measuring, that would be a little more than a yalm.

[The mention of there being some similarity to something Szelhamos knows is noted, albeit more as a sort of academic curiosity. It is, perhaps, odd that more than one world might have very similar units of measurement, but neither is it all that much stranger than many of the other things that have already happened since his arrival in this world.]

Less. There are three fulms to a yalm.

[There are certainly some interesting implications, in that. Ones that Lahabrea is not immediately going to seek to explore, but they are interesting all the same. Something to ponder over later, perhaps. For now, there are still other questions at hand.]

A fulm is broken up into ilms.
abyssalflames: (the proposal has merit)

[personal profile] abyssalflames 2025-05-20 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
There are.

[This is offered surprisingly neutrally, for a man who is learning just now that some other world has a very similar system of measurement. But as long as he focuses on the more scientific aspect of it he doesn't need to dwell too much on the oddity of it all.]

Some seven or so yalms tall.

[He could be more precise if he wanted to be. But just at the moment he doesn't see any particular necessity to, either. Not when the point is that normally he would be a fair bit taller than he currently is.]
abyssalflames: (stern and serious)

[personal profile] abyssalflames 2025-05-21 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm.

[There's a nod of agreement, the gesture habit for all that Szelhamos can't see it.]

It has certainly made such attempts less appealing, here.

Hiya!

Me and Del are opening our new diner this Tuesday. We're calling it Lumturo, a lighthouse in a sea of cares! Come over for some good food, a good view, and if you're feeling brave, the stage will be open for anyone to have a crack at performing.

I'll reserve a table for you if you want to come, so tell all your mates too!


[Attached is more information and directions! It's located overlooking Stellari's airship docks.]
