Alec is sitting outside his shop, in jeans and a tee-shirt despite the cold, with a bowl of chopped up squares of meat. At least he's not barefoot? Circling him is a small brown dragon, about the length of his arm with a snub nose and jeweled eyes. He fishes out a piece of meat from the bowl and then flicks it into the air.

The piece of meat vanishes after leaving his hands and then the little dragon does too. The meat cube reappears somewhere in the square randomly and the dragon snatching it up just seconds behind it.

It then wings its way back to Alec and trills at him, obviously saying 'again'.

"Then where are you from, originally?" Hand on the strap of her bag as she watches, thoughtfully. The more information to be acquired, the better, and maybe if she looks how Sherlock looks - maybe she can figure out more about him that way too. "Why can't you control where you end up? That seems dangerous."

"Some world no one's ever heard of. I grew up in a city called Quarim. It's up in the Dragonridge mountains." Alec scritches under Trey's chin.

"I can't control where I end up because the sons of bitches who gave me the ability to travel decided against giving me control because they thought it would be funny."

And according to the mun, it is in fact, hilarious.

"And who was it who gave you the ability to travel?" Curiosity killed the cat, Joan, she thinks, but he's answering her questions so far, so she's not going to stop.

Alec gets a look on his face. It's the look of a man who has to try and explain the existence of Muns without actually explaining their existence. He's done it before, but it's always very difficult.

"You ever get the feeling that the universe is fucking around with you?"

[sobered]

"Not particularly." Or maybe she has, but she doesn't in general hold with that feeling. If the universe is trying to fuck with you, you stick your foot down and inform it that that isn't acceptable.

Hahahahaha... good like with that one.

"You'd be right. People are fucking with us. Beings with the power to rewrite all of reality as they see fit. And they do. Often. Because they think it's funny. That's how you ended up here."
