If by "Englishman," you mean where he's from, then no, he's from Midgar. And actually, I was referring to the company he runs - the ShinRa Electric Power Company. It was more likely someone on his staff that invented it, not him.

I've never heard of... I'm sorry, Mr. Kain, I still don't understand this worlds lark, I think. Is Midgar some place on Mars?

[Kunsel grimaces to himself. Right. Sometimes it's easy to forget that not everyone knows everything he knows. But how to explain without sounding insane...?]

No. No, I'm pretty sure it isn't. I think.

Have you... [A thought.] Have you ever looked up at the stars and thought about the fact that each one of those stars is actually a sun? That there may be other planets around each one? I think my world is around one of those other stars. Its name is Gaia.

[Kesara takes a moment to process this, although not too long a moment. If Mars, then why not another sun? It isn't so great a leap for a flexible young mind.

Also, it is tremendously exciting.]

But that's absolutely fantastic! A whole other planet with all its countries and people and history and - you speak very good English for a foreigner from another planet, sir.

[Perhaps a niggling little doubt.]

[deus_ex_phs]

[Kunsel blinks, nonplussed.]

English? That's not the language I'm speaking. Not unless "English" is another word for my country's language.

[He follows up with the name of the language he's speaking but since it's never named in canon, just pretend there's some foreign-sounding name for the language here.]
