"I get it," she says with a grin. "After a certain point, you just start rolling with whatever it is and say 'I guess this too is a thing'. At least that's been my experience."

And now that definitely included knowing that at one point aliens were really a thing.

Piper shakes her head. "I'm sorry it's been your experience as well," she says. "Going into this new life without someone there who can answer questions would be hard. So please, I'd be happy to give you his number if or when you ever want it." She pauses. "Also weird to add but he's also freakishly good at sword fighting so if you are ever in need of some new skills... for whatever reason, I'd recommend it."

She takes a moment to consider that as they walk and nods. "That would make sense. That leaves some sort of imprint no doubt. Glad it didn't make me shy away tonight." She would have definitely been in more pain and probably driving onto wherever the road would have taken her until she had to stop.
