Oh? Oh! Beg' pardon. Sorry, haha. Its hard to tell with people sometimes. I've been told to "shut up" more than once, so I do try and keep an ear out for anyone frustrated by a bit of extra babble.

I may be a bit shocked and thrown, too.

My heart is running a little quickly, though I am trying to contain my nerves. Its difficult to explain my position here. While I'm used to being suddenly displaced from my normal time and location, I never imaged I'd end up anywhere quite so alien.

I'd like to think I'm handling the shock well.
