Velvet pov:

Raymond: "Welcome to the Island."

Velvet: "What is the Island exactly?"

Raymond: "No clue. From what I know and heard we're on a secluded island and if you swim out far enough or fly to high a barrier halts any possibility of escape."

Velvet: "Is there any way off of this island?"

Raymond: "There probably is. A few years back my mentors all disappeared without a trace. From the journals they've left behind I've come up with a theory, but nothing is concrete yet."

Velvet: "Well if we're stuck here I should familiarize myself with the wildlife then."

Raymond: "No problem. Here."

Raymond slides his journal over towards her.

Raymond: "That has information on all the creatures that inhabit the island. Just return it when you're done please."

Velvet: "Thanks. Now what was with those guys earlier?"

Raymond: "They're know as the Blackhearts. A bunch of savages that eat any thing they can get their hands on. That includes rotting meat, spoiled fruits, vegetables, and berries, and human flesh. Thanks to them I lost a lot of friends."

Velvet: "There's other's on this island? How many?"

Raymond lowers his head a bit.

Raymond: "Yes, but there were more. Only a small nomadic group remains consisting of 4 people, a Parasaur, 2 Dilos, and a Mesopithacus."

Velvet's expression changes a bit.

Velvet: "What happened to the others?"

Raymond: "They were killed bye the Blackhearts, but I think it's my turn to ask you some questions."

Velvet's taken back from Raymond's statement.

Velvet: "Okay. I guess that's fair."

Raymond: "So what is this Vale place you mentioned?"

Velvet: "You haven't heard of Vale?"

Raymond: "I wouldn't be asking if I did."

Velvet: "It's one of the four kingdoms of Remnant."

Raymond: "The hell is Remnant?"

Velvet: "It's our planet."

Raymond: "I think the word you meant to say was Earth."

Velvet: "I'm pretty sure I'd know our planets name."

Raymond is seen holding his chin.

Raymond: "What are some distinct features of this Remnant?"

Velvet: "What do you mean?"

Raymond: "I'm talking about wildlife, resources, biomes, historical events, even something about the moon."

Velvet: "Well there's the creatures of Grimm."

Raymond: "Grimm?"

Velvet: "Yeah like Beowolves, Borbatusk, Nevermore, Ursa, and Deathstalkers."

Raymond: "Never heard of them. Can you explain how the what did you call it? Beowolves? Look like?"

Velvet: "They're large bipedal wolves. Their skin is pitch black with bone white armored protrusions coming out of their body with red marking. They also have red and yellow eyes."

Raymond seems perplexed.

Velvet: "What are you thinking about."

Raymond: "I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I have a theory. How many world wars have there been?"

Velvet: "Umm. One why?"

Raymond: "That confirms my theory."

Velvet: "What Theory?"

Raymond looks at her dead in the eyes.

Raymond: "We come from different worlds."

Velvet: "What? Don't be ridiculous how could that even be possible?"

Raymond: "It may seem crazy, but it all makes sense. Your home is Remnant, my home is Earth. You've never seen a dinosaur, but have creatures you call Grimm. I know of dinosaurs, but never heard of these Grimm. Your home had one world war, while mine has had two. Different names for our planets, different wildlife, different historical events, and my reaction towards your ears. I mean what other possibilities could there be."

Velvet: "There has to be another answer. I mean this just sounds ridiculous."

Raymond: "Well then let's say the names of the continents, and other significant historical events."

Velvet: "Continents? That's easy. Sanus, Solitas, Anima, and Menagerie."

Raymond smirks.

Raymond: "North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica."

Velvet looks at Raymond suspiciously.

Raymond: "We could do Historical events if you want?"

Velvet: "Okay. The Great War, The Faunus Rights Revolution, and the discovery that dust doesn't work off planet."

Raymond: "The Revolutionary War, World War 1, World War 2, and The Great Space Race."

Velvet: "Now I know you're making stuff up. Space travel is impossible."

Raymond: "Then what is this dust you mentioned? The only dust I know of is the dust on my bookshelf."

Velvet: "Dust are crystals that come in a variety or colors. Each color has different effects."

They are both silenced bye a growl. Soon Velvet is seen holding her stomach then laughing nervously.

Velvet: "You wouldn't happen to have anything to eat would you?"

Raymond smiles.

Raymond: "Sure do. What do you want?"

Velvet: "What do you have?"

Raymond gets up and opens his fridge.

Raymond: "I've got some Fria Curry, Enduro Stew, Lazarus Chowder, Calien Soup, Focal Chili, Lamb Chops, And Shadow Steak Sautee."

Velvet: "I don't know. Surprise me I guess?"

Raymond: "Got it."

Raymond grabs 4 Lamb Chops, and 2 bowls of Calien Soup.

Raymond heads for the grill and warms up the Lamb Chops before returning to the table and handing Velvet her food.

Raymond looks at her and smiles.

Raymond: "Enjoy."

Velvet takes a bite of the Lamb Chops and her eyes widen.

Velvet: "This is delicious."

As they eat it's quiet until Velvet breaks the silence.

Velvet: "Why did you help me today?"

Raymond looks at her confused.

Raymond: "Why wouldn't I. When I first arrived on the Island I would've died if it weren't for Helena. So I decided I'd help out any one I can as long as they're civil."

Velvet: "Well thank you for everything."

They eat and soon after Velvet yawns.

Raymond: "Tired huh? Follow me."

Raymond leads Velvet to a spare bedroom.

Raymond: "You can stay here as long as you need to."

Velvet: "Thank you and good night."

Raymond: "Night."

Velvet shuts the door and as Raymond goes to his workshop his eyes widen as he remembers something.

Raymond: "I FORGOT ABOUT THE RESOURCES!"

Night then descends upon the island.
