"Perhaps it is both," he offers, thinking about Aurora, though there is even her master to consider. An AI does not build itself, after all. Even mankind did not spawn from nothing, an architect was at its helm, there is always something bigger, grander than what one can immediately see. A truth beyond the myopia of mere mortals.
Though her admitting to being dragged to a world before this one does interest him, and so his gait slows a little, to put them both at equal pace. To walk side by side, instead of him a few steps in the lead.
"Another world? Is it so common to be spirited away to realms beyond your own?" He scrutinizes her again, his steel-like gaze looking her over as he considers the feel of energy, of aether, that radiates beneath. That she should be plucked not once, but twice...
Even if he himself has not been torn from his world before this one, he had been chosen to restore his world from the brink of its total annihilation. Are these similarities simple coincidence? He had once considered it so, given the...diversity of specimens brought here for the same purpose, yet Gaia's circumstance has now invited him to revisit the thought.
