“It reacts to touch?” She echoed, eyeing the device with a mixture of weary yet fascination on her face. Surely Anne could understand the concept, given a few days. The experience right now much felt like school but with a much better teacher than she originally had. “How can letters be sent so..so quickly? That I cannot even begin to understand. But I suppose it would be much more efficient in them getting the news earlier. Especially if it is more urgent. But I wonder, where are the cords? The only telephone - I’m assuming as such - I know of is considerably bulky and takes time to even connect with another person, if they own one.”
The redhead peered in closer to the screen which showed many different buttons on it. Something she’ll have to investigate later on, should this man not explain everything. What he said was helpful enough, but who could she possibly send a quick letter to? She knew no one here.
However, her train of thought stopped abruptly at the mention of guardians. Anne perked up and looked around quickly, eyes peering the scene but of course there were no signs of her adoptive parents. How could she not think of them until now? What a terrible daughter she was.”Marilla - Mathew! Oh, goodess, I haven’t even thought of checking if they were here or not! One moment I was situated at Green Gables, then the next I was here! I bet they’re out there, looking for me!” That should be answer enough that she indeed was alone.
Of course she wouldn’t really understand if electricity still hadn’t become common where she was from. It was so fascinating to think they were born on different planets hundreds of years apart, and yet were somehow here together. That was one thing he liked about being here. Another thing was while he taught at the university, he still had the chance to educate children.
“While telephones are connected with wires, the signal these mobile phones use is sent through invisible waves in the air.” He had no idea if she could understand that either.
“If you want to check and see if they are here, unfortunately the only way I know of is to search on foot. If you find them, you can register their numbers.” He had many things to do today, and while he likely answered her as best as he could, he did not think he could walk away.
“In the meantime, I cannot allow a child to wander unsupervised. You should stay near me.” He started down the street again towards his intended destination for breakfast and hoped she’d follow. “You can also tell me more about Green Gables. It sounds like a fascinating place.”
