Shit, so. Let me get this straight...
[Well, for one thing, you need to straighten out your camera there, Bull. The big Qunari is holding it upside down, affording viewers a lovely look at the underside of his scruffy chin. And a couple scars -- one that looks a little more picked at than the rest.]
[Oh, and the horns. Did we mention the horns? And the fact that, as he's walking down the street, he's a good head and shoulders taller than everyone else.]
All this... metal crap. The stuff that moves. The... thing here, in my hand. This is all normal to you guys?
I can't be the only one who doesn't know what he's doing. Please say that. It looks really bad if anyone saw--
[Like if he was being recorded.]
[He squints his one eye down at the screen. Like he's waiting for an immediate response. Then when nothing immediately pops up, he starts mashing buttons. Or trying to hang up. Those huge fingers aren't good with tiny buttons.]
-- oh come on. You're magic, aren't you? Work.

Close, but no cigar. It's technology.

Well, ah. Rather-- I guess, I should probably introduce myself?

Hey, boss! You too, huh?
[Yeah we're not going to talk about the Chargers right now, ok.]
What, you think I wouldn't recognize the guy whose ass I'm covering? ... Or the ass?

I would not consider it normal though I do not come from this world. There are still so many strange aspects to it.

Well, the maybe-probably-hopefully-good news is, normal's a very relative term around these parts. Nice rack.
[ He makes a swoopy sort of hand gesture meant to indicate horns. ]
no subject
[But then he just grins. All pointed canines and wicked amusement.]
Right? You'd think more people'd appreciate a good pair. But damn if they don't do more than just stare.
Like I left the tavern without pants again or something.

What makes you think it's magic?
[ The technology in her world is way behind this, but magic is something she knows absolutely nothing about other than it exists in other worlds. A blind spot could be death for a spy. ]

It's not magic. It's called a phone. You have to hold it a bit further away from you so people can see your face.

[ His brow furrows mildly, questioningly, but also because of this man's huge size and the horns, which become clearer to Reiner once he turns his own communicator upside down to make more sense of the recording. ]
But no, you aren't the only one. When I first got here I barely knew anything, but you learn to get used to it. [ Well... some people do. ] Hey, how tall are you?
VIDEO.
[At least he sounds reasonably accepting of that idea.]
Good to know it's not just me. That'd be even more embarrassing. [He pauses, thinking.] Big enough I've got to duck through most doors.
Why?

You're hardly the only one. Or, well - we've learned, certainly, but there's hardly any of us from dissimilar worlds who haven't got an embarrassing story involving the communicator.

[... not on purpose. They just tend to make doors out of more solid wood back where he comes from. Bull had fully expected it to be heavy and to put up some resistance. It doesn't. It smashes open and bounces against the wall.]
-- shit.
[Thankfully, it doesn't come off the hinges. But then, he's faced with a new challenge...]
[How the fuck to get in the doorway without bashing his horns on the frame. Charlie, then, is treated to the sight of the big Qunari shuffling awkwardly sideways into the room.]
