Nirva nodded, then worry crossed her face. "Oh no. I need to return to my world. I was meant to be wed to the prince of another country to seal an alliance. If I don't, they'll attack."

He blinked and shook his head. "I don't know of any way you can get back there. Whenever soemone's been 'zapped' here, as we call it, they're pretty much stuck here. I only know of one person returning but she was from the future and returned to her own time. I'm sorry."

"No! Everyone will be killed." She fell to her knees. "I was ready to give myself away to save our kingdom, though I hated the idea, but now I can't even do that."

"Let your heart decide. You don't have to jump into a decision right away. In this day and age, there's something called dating. You can casually meet with people and meet for drinks or share a meal with them to get to know them. If you don't like the person, you can leave them and hang out with someone else."

"Hands off," North said.
"Yeah. I know it sounds weird to sound that I'm with my sister, but our mother didn't create humans for several million years. We didn't have much of a choice."

"It's all right," North said. "We aren't really giving off the vibe of a couple in love, but that's how we are. We keep it low so others don't look at us more strangely than they do already."

North winked. "Well, actually, if we did go back to the house, I could help make you look prettier and more appealing to the guys. We could do it here, but I have all my supplies and such at the house."

She blinked. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it like that; I just meant enhance your natural beauty." She clearly had meant that, but had used the wrong phrasing before.
