Look, just-- would you let me go home?

No actually. I'm from pretty far off. Spent some time in England for schooling for what that's worth, but never crossed the ocean.

[And he'll neglect mentioning that that's another Koschei, actually, because they're all in the same head. And this is better than telling a poor Sol 3 human about alien culture.]

[frompontiac]

Oh, well then. Welcome to America, I guess?

[somegomad]

Just stopping by, probably. I don't get to go places much.

[He shrugs, looks away. It deflates him, having gotten his hopes up over nothing.]

[frompontiac]

And you want to, huh. Well, good luck with that.

[Really, he means it. He just wants nothing more than the opposite.]

[somegomad]

[Koschei looks at Jimmy for a moment after the statement, before he's convinced he really means that.]

Thanks. Yes, I do, actually, I'd really like to go see places. [See places, learn things, right wrongs. All of these and then some.]

Good luck with your getting home, though.

[frompontiac]

What kind of places? I mean, uh, do you have any preferences?

Thanks, Koschei. [Really, he means it.]

[somegomad]

Not really. Anywhere with people is good, but most places without are, too. I'm not picky, I just want to get out there.
