[Here comes salvation, and Xie Lian doesn't question it, quickly trotting towards the purple-haired stranger - and belatedly realizing he's quite tall.]
... Excuse me but... where is this? I don't recognize anything and it's definitely not where I was trying to go.
And why did that person call me a prototype?
... to give his husband an impossible heart attack by going missing?
[ Hythlodaus smiles, and walks a little distance until they can take the viw better - and more privately. ]
Welcome, my new friend, at the testing ground of creation at Heaven's edge. [ So... the array worked inasmuch as the goal was Heaven, right? A Heaven? ]
It is where new life form concepts are observed to see if they are fit to exist on their own and just about everything needs to have someone responsible for it. That is why the guide back there was upset, for the most part.
[ Hythlodaeus's smile is like the sun. ]
Whether or not the guess about you was correct... or not.
He's not missing, just not where he was supposed to go!
[The man - Hythlodaeus - is quite calm and collected, and Xie Lian himself is not one to easily panic. He smiles back and takes in the information, and shakes his head.]
No, I'm not a prototype. I was using a transportation array to go somewhere and I assume something went wrong and it brought me here instead.
... And I've never heard of anything like that in Heaven, and if there was, I would know, so I must have gone really far away from where I meant to go.
[Suddenly, his eyes widen a bit.]
Oh, give me just a second.
[He shakes one of his sleeves, and suddenly a silver butterfly fleets out, and perches on his fingers and he lifts it up to his face.]
Go tell Hua Cheng I'm fine and I'll be home as soon as I can, alright?
[The silver butterfly flaps its wings, and then it suddenly flies off into the sky, leaving behind only the sound of ringing tinkerbells.]

... I'm Xie Lian, by the way.
