[Her city was too small to have any nights at all when you couldn't see the stars. They also didn't have electricity, not like this world. There would always be open skies and stars for Isabela to chart courses by. Being on the road only made the sky seem bigger and the vastness of what she now calls space feel infinite. It's not something she wonders at, instead it felt cold. Give her people and buildings any day.
Her eyes widen at that.]
The size of cities?
[She can only imagine in her mind a sea ship that size, because it's what she knows of as ships, but that would take up huge patches of the ocean and basically be islands. Hawke doesn't have a vivid imagination, but she doesn't doubt him at all. After this place, she suspects she's woefully underprepared compared to a lot of others.]
Are they populated like them too? You've got like a floating city, able to move it wherever you need to go. That sounds real helpful. So this is old technology to you? Old ... world?
