Clarence was relieved when Paper arrived. While he might have some questions, he didn't seem like the sort to assume he was lying about everything. Because, of course, he wasn't. Clarence had really been aboard that ship in September 1813, and then he really had woken up here, in the Ascendants, hundreds of years later and in what he assumed to be a later winter month based on the weather. Honestly, he still wasn't sure if it was a later month or if the weather was just like this year round. He supposed it didn't really matter and if winter dragged on too long he'd eventually ask someone about it. With all the other questions he had, though, he didn't want to ask anymore. He had seen and heard a few references to the holiday season being near so he supposed he had to be at least a month or two ahead, unless this world had completely different traditions to what he was familiar with, which was also possible. Honestly, he didn't think anything was a given when he had woken up in a strange world full of talking animals with complex social structures.
When he heard the man's statement, a light smile touched his maw and he found himself shaking his head slightly. "Well, they do call it a lake but it's one of the biggest lakes I've ever seen and it connects to a lot of other, bigger waterways. It was an essential location and we didn't want the Americans controlling it. After we lost, the book said they kept it for the rest of the war and it was vital to their overall victory. I don't care much about all of that, though. Neither country was in the right, in my opinion, and a lot of innocent men died for ridiculous reasons. But that's all in the past now, I suppose, and there's no sense in complaining about what happened so long ago." It had only been two weeks for him. Two weeks. "I'm happy to lend it to you if you'd like to take a look at it. I don't think I'll care to read any more of it."
