Water in his beard, it was a minor inconvenience as Hanz brought up his right sleeve and wiped the small beads of water away. He watched as she drank, it was much more fluid and natural than the way he had lapped up the water. As she rose back up and began to speak once more his ears drank in her words as if they were the most important things in the world, and to some extent that was a true statement primarily because right now she was the only person he knew on this world other than Doan and the guy he had killed. Hanz very much preferred not to talk to the fat officer again, but this Clara was interesting, fascinating on a level he couldn't even quite comprehend yet.<br/><br/>"I think I might understand what has happened here. Pardon me if it all seems far fetched but it comes from the words of a man named Albert Einstein, I read much of his work when I was in my room with no freedoms. In your world, this world, you are correct about the timeline of events, I believe you wholeheartedly as it is apparent from the conviction you speak with and the way your body responds to your words and thoughts that you know this to be true. Much in the same way you know my words to be true." Hanz swiftly and gently took Clara's left hand in his right hand and placed in over his heart, holding it there gently so that she could pull away if she desired.<br/><br/>"I know your senses are unique like mine, it explains a lot, the connection we seem to have forming, feel my heart, hear my words, when I entered the machine... um time machine I believe is what you say in America, I didn't just travel time on a linear path, but traveled time and dimensions, to this version of Earth, one where your version of history is true. There are but a limitless number of realities, we come from two of them, my meeting you is purely by chance for here I never existed and in my world I doubt your existence would have come to pass, though such things are impossible for me to know as I have left that timeline. There is a strong chance that if I tried to go back it would fail, if of course the machine would even still function."<br/><br/>At that word his stomach growled deep and low, hunger set in, he had been on the run for so long without a proper meal to satiate his hunger, his need for sustenance. "Food, something edible, my body needs it and I hope you know where to find some yes? Money is an issue as we have not yet made our play for any. Tell me what you know and I shall make sure we get some and hopefully get away from curious sheriff."
