[as promised, the door is open. two wolfhound looking dogs pad up to finn, sniffing him curiously, tails wagging. if he seems uncomfortable or not interested, they're well trained enough to leave him alone, fortunately.
archie is in the kitchen -- an open room that's connected to the living room. he waves.]
[he chirps, quite happy at that. it takes a few minutes, but he comes over with a teapot in one hand and a bottle of schapps in the other. there's some cups already on the table.]
For starters, we still use horse-drawn carriages, there's no TV or radio, blacksmithing and jewelry smithing is a common profession, and I thought the device was a magic mirror at first.
[Finn pours himself a little more of the tea, diluting the alcohol even more.]
The civilizations that made those ruins were vast. Very vast.
I mean, we have magic and potions in place of medicine, and magic can be used to help building construction. Give us a few years, and we could very well invent the magical equivalent of the telephone or moving picture.
Well, it only works for a short while, depending on the strength of the potion. There's also a spell that lets people do that, but so far I haven't found a spell book to learn it.
Argonians don't need a spell or potion to breathe underwater.

Date: 2018-03-19 12:15 am (UTC)[Finn shows up at Archie's place soon enough, knocking on the door to announce his presence before entering, following the smell of the tea.]
Hope you don't mind, I brought biscuits.
[Finn holds up a box of store-bought cookies.]

So how have you been?

Date: 2018-03-19 01:34 am (UTC)[he wants to say i'm drinking with a near stranger, but doesn't.]
Alright. You? I know we only talked once-- I hope this isn't too... uh. Sudden?

I didn't know you knew Maxwell... how'd you meet?
no subject
Date: 2018-03-19 10:07 pm (UTC)[Finn claims one of the cups, running his finger over the rim idly.]
He invited me over to tea, and we talked about dragons and shared sketch book drawings.
no subject
Date: 2018-03-19 11:18 pm (UTC)[he just... pours a bunch of the schnapps in his cup, before adding a tiny splash of tea.]
no subject
Date: 2018-03-19 11:20 pm (UTC)[Finn does the opposite, pouring a generous amount of tea into his cup and then pouring just a dash of schnapps.]
no subject
Date: 2018-03-19 11:47 pm (UTC)[he rubs his beard, before downing the cup and starting to pour another.]
What's your world like?
no subject
Date: 2018-03-20 12:40 am (UTC)[Finn sips his drink, gasping a little as the alcohol burns down his throat.]
There's ancient ruins everywhere, belonging to different civilizations, all manner of monsters, and of course, non-human races.
no subject
Date: 2018-03-20 02:11 am (UTC)[he puts the cup back, rubbing his beard.]
That's pretty cool. How come they're so common? I thought ancient ruins were super rare.

Y'know, I have to wonder if societies with magic are more advanced than ones with technology. It's basically the same, right?
no subject
Date: 2018-03-20 07:09 pm (UTC)[Another sip for himself as well.]

Lemme guess-- they're aquatic?

Date: 2018-03-20 09:54 pm (UTC)[Finn takes out his sketchbook, flipping it open.]
They're amphibious lizard people.
[He finds a drawing of one and shows it to Archie.]

Date: 2018-03-20 10:05 pm (UTC)[he looks it over, clearly impressed.]
What other races do you have back home?
