"Fine. I guess I'm out of that world-line now." 

He looks around.

"Who built this place? An outer god or something? No, wait, those don't exist here." 

The boy looks at him, slightly annoyed. Then he snaps his fingers, creating a sonic boom that rattles all the doors in the hall.

"Do not speak to me that way." 

"Again, I got here about two minutes ago. I have no clue. Where are you from?"

The boy looks directly at Cep. In this boy's eyes, there is an incomprehensible depth, bespeaking of an age far, far greater than ten.

"I don't remember."

Cep is unfazed.

"Interesting."

"I see." 

He left it alone for the moment.

He started walking down the hall, observing the doors.

No...?

"Are you looking for one?"

"Yeah.  Heard a fr... very serious business coworker was there." You could tell he was faking a serious attitude.

"Wow... how mighty of you! I am all but gasping in shock!" His gruff voice faded away into a more jovial voice. "You can make sounds! How very godly of you!" His tail flicked back and forth; he was enjoying taunting the kid.

The boy ignores him, still inspecting the doors. He opens one, but quickly shuts it right after and steps back, then walks back over to the dragon guy.

“So where are you from?”

"Why do you wanna know?" Bob said, before adding, "Shrimp."

Lazar was watching this exchange with interest. 

"This is the Door-Way. And yes, these doors lead to a multitude of realms, and are watched over by the Master of the Door-Way."

He pauses for a second, his eyes narrowing. 

"Are you all truly first-timers?"

That's an unusual bout of luck. Maybe...

Lazar turns to Cep.

"As far as I've ever seen, there's only one door to each realm. Why not just go back through it?"

Wish I could.

"And what do you want with this place, Mr. Lizard?"

"After I went through, it disappeared."

"Oh, no I'm always genuine. And serious." He coughed in a somehow very deep way. "And intimidating. It's how I get- no, it's how i work. And job. Earn money seriously. Yes."

"Well, unless you could find another realm with a cross-realm transport system, but those are very rare. I've never found one."

Not for lack of trying.

"I know a few..." Cep trails off, contemplating. "Any chance you've been to one with a Sandwich as a prominent figure?"
