"Me neither, but I had hoped that someone might have known more than what we do. Alas, it seems that we are the first ones to come to this island wearing a band around our necks."

"Aye, as was the last realm I was sent to." Jon debates for a moment about sharing the real nature of the island to Jeyne. She knows of space, something he's heard of but has never thought truly possible. But he doesn't want his sister-in-law to think that he has loose morals, so for now, he silences the nature of the world he had been to before.
