Hayden listened quietly as Kaj told his story about his home world being ravaged by war. The look on Hayden's face was serious and somber as he saw the emotions wash over Kaj's face. "I get that everyone has a soft spot for home, but, if your home world is being ravaged by war, do you really want to go back there?" Hayden asked, trying not to sound too rude. He found himself staring at Kaj as he ate, the way someone stares at a difficult math problem hoping to suddenly understand it.

"So you say that your magical exertion was absorbed by your sword. So that's definitely a form of power transference, the sword may possibly be a channeling devise. You arrived here from another dimension. Damn this would be so much easier to figure out if we were in the lab. I could build a machine to identify your dimensional signature, then use that to find your sword. I could also build something to identify your magic type, or rather the type of magic you're attuned to and most likely to be able to use." Hayden said scratching at his chin, still staring at Kaj.

When Kaj asked about the bread sticks and ranch, Hayden smirked and tried to hold back his laughter. "I saw how fast you were reading in the library. Next time we go in there, we're going to go through the culinary section." Hayden chuckled. "When we're done here we can go to one of the labs and I'll throw together those machines real quick to help us out here then we can get you training on some basic magic."
