Bruno blinks at Hlaine, surprised. "'Planet'? You're from space?" Then he lights up. "Oh, that's - in that case, I suppose I should say I'm from Earth, Colombia's just a country, not the whole planet. You're from space! That's so -" ah, oops, right...
Bruno manages to temper his enthusiasm. "I'm sorry your home was destroyed." (Bruno isn't sure who or what Hlaine means by 'chaos' here, but Tanith's still destroyed, so it's probably irrelevant.) He gives Hlaine a sympathetic smaile. "Mama's village was destroyed by soldiers the day my sisters and I were born... it's hard to lose your home. Not that she said - well, there was later, but... well, I mean, that doesn't matter here..." He trails off into a mumble as he loses track of where he'd meant to go with that particular line of thought.
He can't help but start to perk up again after though. "Have you been to many other planets? Are there a lot of them?" It's not something he'd ever put much thought into before, travelling between planets - but just think, space travel! Amazing!
