"It's not the first time I've woken up somewhere without knowing how I got there," he quips, good-naturedly. "At least this time it doesn't come with amnesia." Or foreboding premonitions and dreams about killing the person who woke you up. Blase and near-irreverent good humour has always been his default response to anything he doesn't immediately know how to handle, probably. Probably. Though, it's been tempered only somewhat by service to the crown.
But he does have to take a bit of time to catalogue that. All right. In the sky- fair enough, maybe. If removed and isolationist enough it... could explain some things (though not how it's up there in the first place- Miriel might have loved to examine this). Time-and-space hub- something like the Outrealms, then? Or rather, perhaps more specifically like the Gate, connecting and linking... or is this somewhere in between?
Briefly he revisits the 'realm of the dead' idea. If there is an afterlife, then he supposes no one ever said it had to be for only one world or timeline. No one who could know for sure, anyway. And no one waking up here on purpose... well.
'Are you dead' is a terrible question to ask, bluntness, irreverent humour, or no. And he- has to be dead, or else what was it all for.
Instead he goes with, "Ah, well. That's good. It means I haven't been slacking. It would be pretty silly to not recognize the castle of another country when your job was to advise royalty."
