It's early morning in the quiet enclosure that will someday become Luceti. The sun is rising, birds are chirping in that annoyingly cheery way that makes you want to shoot them out of the trees, and the residents are beginning to wake up. Most of them are heading to work, either to farm, or to build, or to work the shops, or even just to prepare a nice breakfast for their families and neighbours. Everyone has something to do.

And then, out of nowhere, a couple hundred strangers show up in the middle of the woods.

At first there is confusion, and no shortage of caution, from the neighbours; newcomers are common enough, but usually they are announced beforehand, and never in such great numbers. The leaders of the town are called in to ask questions. The newcomers are free to explore, but any aggression will be met in kind; if need be, the Filial of the past will defend their homes. They're hoping it won't come to that, however. You're stuck with one another for a long time, after all.

Thankfully, there is one man who might be able to bring the natives and newcomers together: Tyr.

...And the other guy, maybe. We'll see.

[So, unless this man coincidentally appeared in the forest at the same time as all of them, he was also from what he should consider the "future." Any response is briefly left unsaid as he takes notice of the hawk that flies out of the apartment and lands on the man's shoulder.

He hadn't even thought about the possibility of bringing animal companions along. Why add additional risks to what already had to be a risky procedure?]

I've just arrived as well. [He might as well be blatantly obvious in that regard. Now he gives the bandana-wearing hawk a nod.] A friend of yours?

[Not all animal companions earned themselves little accessories.]

["Just arrived as well"... It isn't a complete certainty that his neighbor is from the future as well, but it increases the chances of such a thing significantly. The nod towards Taka is noted and appreciated. There aren't many who would bother to greet a mere 'pet'. Especially not when the owner is a stranger.]

This is Taka. He's been my trusty cohort for many a year now.

[The hawk doesn't entirely seem to realize he's become the topic of a conversation. Taka tilts his head, his eyes swerving along the hall in a distracted manner. Still, when Simon raises a hand to pet him, he leans into it as if he were a dog.]
