She waited, letting him find his own starting place because it was always the same, wasn't it? Not the same starting place, but that feeling of being overwhelmed by this new environment. Being thrust into a situation that made no sense would throw even the most disciplined soldiers off their routine. And she had experienced this twice now! And yet, that feeling of empathy -- of knowing what it was like the first time -- never really left her. Which was probably a good thing because it granted her a good deal of patience for these discussions.
She listened as the questions flew out of him -- honestly not as many as he might think. She couldn't help but even smile a little at his last one, nodding, "It usually helps to tackle things one at a time, yes."
Now came the downside though, and she sighed, "Unfortunately, and this might seem strange, but we don't really know where or when. The location is secluded -- we're in a valley that has high cliffs surrounding us, dense woods, and a river with a nice waterfall. However, there wasn't exactly a sign post as you may have noticed and any records that may have been here are missing. There is no technology to reach out to other people with and seemingly no way to scale the walls of the surrounding cliffs."
"And your guess as to how you wound up in the fountain is as good as mine. That's how everyone has gotten here -- it appears to be the only way in and none of us have any memory of changing clothes or taking a plunge like that. At least, none so far." She'd hold back on discussing other dimensions and other worlds, sometimes it was better to gauge that sort of thing.
