[As the recording starts, there's the faint sound of movement in the background as Gundham is exploring a bit of forest.]

So, as it seems our 'hosts' - if we can truly call them that - are intent on keeping us here, it would behoove us to acquaint ourselves with the surroundings. I will say that as far as prisons go, this is not the worst. However, I do have a question. Are any that can access this familiar with the local wildlife? I've been attempting to observe but having just arrived, I'm sure my scent is unfamiliar enough to have them on edge.

However... there is wildlife here. That in itself is... unexpected.

Ah.

[ Doesn't ask. Doesn't need to know because he wouldn't share, either. The bear thing sure causes some flashbacks for him. ]

I've never seen one of those before. Or heard of them. Are they larger than a normal bear?

[gundhamster]

[Gundham is thankful for the lack of questions. The resemblance to the pet bear he had and the maniacal automaton that plagued his world was enough to unnerve him.]

When outside, he prefers to be the size of a small horse, but shrinks down to large dog size when indoors.

[disasdeer]

So...not too big.

[ Listen, man, his reference for bears and horses both is a little odd. ]

Oh that's smaller than I thought when I think of a bear.

[gundhamster]

[There's a long pause as Gundham does a mental recap of all the bear breeds he'd worked with over the years. As well as horses to make sure he wasn't misremembering.]

What breed of bear have you encountered that would grow to such size? My familiar is larger than any known breed of bear, to my knowledge.

[disasdeer]

The one bear I knew was...over two hundred centimeters. A brown bear.

[ Listen man, he has a certain mental image that he's putting on here, and knowing it's a familiar means there's no reason that he couldn't look like someone at home. ]

He towered over me and others.

[ Louis is...considerably shorter. ]

[gundhamster]

[That statement only confuses Gundham more.]

By brown bear standards that is fairly average. There are brown bears that can grow to be up to 273 centimeters.

[There's a beat.]

...how large are the horses you're familiar with?

[disasdeer]

The ones I've met are just a bit shorter, I think.

[ Yahya is larger than life, though so it's really hard to compare. ]

Definitely not larger, though. Seems larger, but I think it's just who it was not what species he was.

[gundhamster]

Where on Earth are you from that this is the norm?

[Gundham is just going to be very confused for a while.]

[disasdeer]

A place without humans. It's just us animals.

[ It's fine, Louis is just so used to not having a clue what people are talking about that he readily accepts some things. ]

[gundhamster]

[Gundham looks at his phone incredulously. He's going to overlook the 'us' animals part because in his mind he's thinking Louis is talking about living alone among the wilderness like Tarzan.]

...I did not realize such things actually happened outside of movies and books.

[disasdeer]

The no humans thing? I mean, it is what it is where I'm from. Maybe that's fictional words for you.
