"We all are," says Lev, a little distractedly, not the least bit put off that Angel didn't seem to recognise where they'd meant to take the conversation. "Of course I'd refer to thee kindly." And they do not add, "I would never speak ill of the dead", since they have a smidgen of sense.

They look at Angel again, closely but without staring. "So like, nu. Thou woke up here one day, and this is all thou'st known? Or did'st thou come from elsewhere and remember it?"

They are maybe not-so-subtly trying to find out if anyone in this place is from a world at all similar to theirs.
