[Kaldur takes in the location as calmly as he can after having the strange location explained to him. He knows that this is a city on the back of a turtle—which sounds vaguely like something out of one of the books on surface-dweller mythology he had read once—but why he had been chosen and how cut off his final memories were before arriving here was still a mystery.]

It is said that to better understand your surroundings you must look at it with many eyes. [He is formal, but genial. He does not wish to start a confrontation on his first day.] I am known as Aqualad. It is a very…unique situation in which I find myself. Where we are and how we may have come to be here has been explained to me, but I would greatly appreciate any further information that those who come before me are willing to provide. The frequency of arrivals, whether others have managed to leave before, and general disposition of the native inhabitants would be very helpful. Those I have met so far have been...amicable, I can say.

[If none respond, he will have to seek a less direct route of coming by the information. He bows his head slightly, but visibly.] Thank you for your time.

Speaking of...where did they put you?

[If she were a better, she'd put a healthy amount on Water Sector.]

[Kaldur chuckles then.] I am sure the answer is more than obvious. I'm grateful, considering the access to salt water within the buildings.

Which building?

2B. My kind and queen are in the same building.

[Now, Zatanna knows about Aquaman and the Queen from seeing them over the Network. But she's already become well aquatinted with doubles and multiverses, and didn't want to assume. Considering she didn't know either of them well to begin with.]

They're here too?

[If Kaldur hasn't noticed anything, however, maybe there was a chance....]

Yes...they are not the ones of our world, but they are still the King and Queen of Atlantis. [Or Mera is the Queen and Arthur has been dethroned. It is confusing, yes.]

[Well, there goes that chance.]

I'm sorry.

Do not be. It is better that King Orin and Queen Mera are not here. They are needed in Atlantis.

[At least he seemed to be taking it well. She didn't know Kaldur quite as well as some of the others on the Team, so she had no way of knowing if this was a front, or how he genuinely felt.]

True.

Anyways, I'm over in 3A in the Wood Sector. I'd tell you where Robin was, except he's about as mysterious as ever about that sort of thing.

[So mysterious, he lived right next door and she still had no idea. Well, maybe some idea. But nothing more than vague suspicions.]

[It's more Kaldur telling himself that so he'll believe it as much as he hopes she will. He does not want his King nor Queen to be trapped here, but that does not mean he feels any more comfortable in the location. He is good at keeping a cool here, at least outwardly.]

It is fine. I made my initial introduction public because I know that Robin will make contact when he is ready.

Yeah, he does that.

I'd leave my window open, just in case. [Hint, hint; she's assuming he pulls that sort of appearance trick on everyone.]

[Kaldur chuckles.] Yes, that is sound advice. Thank you, Zatanna.
