Chryssie took a bite of her food as she waited for an explanation. All she could think was that this was gonna be good.

She was a baker, not a scientist. The extent of her scientific knowledge was how to make bread rise. "I don't much keep up with science to be honest. But so far, you sound right." Hearing some strange words, she finally looked up from her plate and watched in amazement as a bottle of something appeared and a black ring of smoke disappeared.<br/><br/>"That is some party trick.

She had never had any before and wondered what it would taste like. Sitting the glasses down on the table, she gave him a look of disbelief. Not knowing what today was? Really? That more than anything convinced her that she was dealing with someone who at the very least had been out of the loop for a long time.<br/><br/>"It is the fourth of July. Independence day.

"Where were you that you didn't know that?"
