Taking most of the strangeness of this world in stride Kyle still cannot help somewhat awe struck by Giselle’s presentation. At first he simply marvels at the images being shown after the initial shock of the source of the show passes he pays attention to the information being given. When she stops the projection and lowers her hand he does not consciously notice her stumble, but is instantly standing at her side. Without even thinking about why he is doing so, he puts his arm around her waist and pulls her into his side lending her the strength of his body to keep her standing.<br/><br/>There is a moment of awed silence from the entire audience which is finally broken by the mayor’s asking, “First question should be how is it that you all seem to be able to speak and understand English?” A murmur of agreement runs through the crowd.<br/><br/>With a smile Kyle leans closer to the microphone and replies, “When I first encountered Tiagar, he tried several different languages none of which I could understand and he could not understand a word I said. Then when my hand came to rest on this sword I picked up we could understand each other. I believe its magic affected only me giving me the ability to communicate in a language which Tiagar speaks. Later though spells were cast giving them the temporary ability to communicate in a way we can understand. One of the things we are going to need to do is start learning the local language and I’m sure some of them will begin to learn English.”<br/><br/>From somewhere in the audience a shout comes up, “What about the government? Are we going to be expected to accept the rule of a King? It looks like that is the only kind of government there is on this world.”<br/><br/>“I spent several hours this afternoon discussing that with King Baldric. Although according to their maps we are within the boundaries of his kingdom, he is willing to treat us as a sovereign nation. He is perfectly happy to establish diplomatic communications and begin trading with us. He is actually hoping for an alliance in which he is willing to lend military support in return for our support if he should need it against his enemies. We will not be subject to his laws while on American soil and not have to pay any taxes to him. However just like with any other nation, once we leave our lands we will be subject to the laws.”<br/><br/>The mayor steps up to the podium so the microphone will pick up his voice and says, “I am a simple Mayor and never had any more ambition than that. Handling a small town within a much larger nation is one thing, but running an entire nation even if it still just the same small town is something else entirely. I really do not think I am up to that task. We are going to need to establish somebody over me.”
