Rowan flushed a bit and looked away shyly. "Thanks for the sentiment, Matthew… and I'm sure my mother would love to meet them."

Matthew smiled sweetly, his own cheeks heating up a bit.
"Of course… I'm sure she'll love being a grandma to these three," he teased lightly.

Rowan nodded and adjusted his grip on the nest. "She's wanted to be a grandma for ages. I'm sure she'll be delighted."

Matthew smiled.
"I'm sure she will. She's an amazing person, from what you've said." he smiled sweetly at Rowan again.

"She really is… I really love her." Rowan hummed happily and rubbed Tammy's head again. "She's the best mom I could ask for."

Matthew nodded a bit. Tammy leaned into Rowan's hand, having given up on trying to explore for now.

"I'm excited for you to meet her!" Rowan smiled brightly up at Matthew. "You two are gonna get along great."

Matthew grinned back.
"Good! The city should only be a day or two away, now, so I'll get to meet her soon!"

"Yep! Assuming everything goes smoothly, anyway." Rowan hummed softly. "I dunno exactly how magic works."

"It'll go smoothly," Matthew promised. "We'll go to the best mage in the city. They're probably the reason you ended up here in the first place…" Matthew smiled a bit, arms tightening around Rowan a bit.

Rowan nodded a bit with another soft hum. "I hope you're right… and you think they'll be able to get me there and then back again with my mom and dog?"

"Yes, I do." Matthew smiled softly. "It'll be nice, you and your family staying here." He leaned his head on Rowan's again a moment.

"Mhmm! And I either don't have any extended family or I'm just not in touch with them, so we don't have to worry about that…"

"Okay then! Perhaps the village can become you're extended family." Matthew smiled a bit.

"I hope so! I'm excited to meet other people in the village. You said that they're really nice." Rowan smiled gently.

"They are! I'm cousin's with the baker, and she's a really nice woman. Then there's the blacksmith, too. The counsel members can seem… withdrawn, but off duty they're all pretty nice." Matthew thought a moment, smiling.

Rowan nodded a bit as he listened. "That sounds nice… my mom likes to bake too. She might make some stuff for my coffee shop. How could I get stuff for coffee here?"

Matthew thought a moment.
"I'm not sure…" He tilted his head a bit. "Perhaps we'll be able to find the ingredients here?"

"Maybe? Hopefully they're not too expensive… I don't know what currency you guys use here and I don't have a ton of money on me."

"We mostly use coins," Matthew said. "Copper, silver, gold for the expensive things. What do you use in your world?"

"Uh… well, in America we use dollar bills and coins…" Rowan pulled his wallet out of his pocket. "Here. You can look through this."

Matthew accepted the wallet. He looked in it, curious.
"Paper..?" he asked, looking at Rowan.

"Yeah, kinda. See the numbers at the top?" Rowan pointed to them. "Those say what they're worth. And the coins are worth different amounts too…"

"Oh…" Matthew nodded a bit. "Okay then!" He smiled at Rowan.

"Mhmm! They use different currencies in different countries, but this is what we use in America."

"Okay then! Here there's only really one kind of money." Matthew smiled.

Rowan nodded a bit. "Yeah… it's probably simpler, honestly. America is kind of a mess as a whole."

"From what I've heard, I must agree." Matthew sighed softly. "Things in general are very simple in this world."

"Mhmm." Rowan huddled a little closer to Matthew. "I'm hoping that I can actually move here… I think it'd be nicer."

"I think it will be too. And… while you're house is being built, you and your mother can stay with me," Matthew offered. "If it takes more than a day, of course. You wouldn't really need to if that was the case…" Still, Matthew would enjoy Rowan staying with him, even just for a bit.
