"Then as a gentleman, I will not pry any further," you say. "For the moment."

The others chuckle, Raven blushes as she frowns, and the deep fryer's timer rings.

"Fries are ready!" Beast Boy says as he dumps them out onto a huge platter.

Beast Boy sprinkles salt all over the chips/fries then brings it over to the table.

"Mmm, the fries of the French smell even better when made at home!" Starfire says.

"What's everybody having to drink?" Cyborg says as he goes to the fridge.

"Let's bust out the good stuff," Beast Boy says. "Root beer!"

Beast Boy pours glasses for everyone and brings them over before he and Cyborg sit down at the table.

"So then," Robin says, "tell us more about yourself, Rorek. You've told us about traveling through Texas, but where else have you been?"

"Well, this is the first time I've been through these United States," you say. "Much like Rorek the First and later Rorek the Third, I began my travels with the British Isles, learning both magic and life lessons; the magic lessons were always easier in my experience. While I could've spent years exploring the isles, I did move on to continental Europe, starting with France and then Germany. I actually struggled a few times in getting further than Ukraine, so I often returned home to start over."

"That mus've sucked," Beast Boy says as he munches fries.

"Yes, it did," you say. "Especially the fourth and final time. That's... a bit of my own 'long story'... But after a total of two and a half years struggling and failing, I finally had everything I needed to make it further than Ukraine, which included Shadowfax. Much of what my grandfather put in the motorcycle was out of necessity for my travels in modern day Europe."

"That must've been awesome, working together on that with your granddad," Cyborg says.

"Yes, yes it was," you say. "He passed down quite a bit of his 'gearhead' qualities to me in my childhood, especially during this phase.

"After getting past Ukraine," you continue, "I entered Russia and went the long way to get to China. I managed to kill two birds with one stone while I was there--"

"You killed birds?!" Starfire blurts.

"No, Starfire, it's a saying, an idiom," Robin explains. "He took care of two things at the same time."

Starfire calms down.

"As I was saying..." you say. "While in China, I made sure to visit some long time friends of the family and reconnect, as part of learning the Eastern magics for myself. From China, I went to Japan and completed reconnecting the East and the West."

"You learned... Eastern magic?" Raven asks.

"I actually used one example today," you say. "Inazuma, the beginning level lightning magic. Though, for being called a beginning magic--

"Lightning magic itself is difficult to even attempt because of the level of control it needs," she says, finishing the sentence.

"Exactly," you say.

Raven becomes self-aware, and pulls back again.

"I ended up going back to London because of the holidays," you continue, "and then after the New Year, I headed out again, going to parts of Europe I hadn't yet visited. I made my way to Spain and then, as part of another long story, I spent a day in Morocco before getting on a plane that took me to New York. Long Island, specifically."

"You didn't happen to go through Gotham, did you?" Robin asks tentatively.

"I did," you say, "but I did not meet Batman. If I had, I probably would've had a message for you from him."
