[ Jing seems pretty relaxed for a guy whose found himself in a strange turtle land. He's procured an apple -- or what would be an apple, probably, if not for the blue spots on it -- and is rolling it back and forth between his hands, and smiles at Teo's amusement. ]

It does sound like something pretty big went down here recently. It would be strange if everyone considered it all in the past... but some places need that, to just put it behind them and run headlong into the new way of doing things. Can't fault them for wanting the past to be past when it's not good memories.

How about you, friend? Prefer looking forward, or looking back?
