[ Charles takes the paper from her and nods as he reads it. That does give the most important information right up front, doesn't it? He offers it back to her afterward. ]
I'm from New York State, the United States, on a planet Earth, in the year of 1973.
[ His accent is not from New York, he's British, but she can hear that. He went back and forth between London and New York for much of his life but his home is in the latter, and that is where his life is. He says a planet Earth because he doesn't know if they're from the same, and from what he can tell of this place, they're dealing with multiple universes. The 1973 aspect does suit his look, the stringy hair and unkempt beard more suited to the time, although it's more a reflection on his lack of care for himself than intentionally hippie fashionable.
For someone who cannot talk, she is remarkably good at expressing herself with gestures alone, or at least he believes so. Charles is very good at reading people, he doesn't need to touch her mind to watch her body language and observe what she's trying to communicate.]
I was on my way to the motel to eat my sad little dinner here.
[ The food samples on his lap are still there, having not been stolen from the culprits after all. ]
I'm afraid my side is out of power, but that's the luck of the draw, I suppose. And you, Kimiko?
