[Spock was a curiosity. He clearly was not of a people Aerich recognized -- there was more than a little resemblance to Easterners, but the ears were far more characteristic of some of Aerich's own people, and something about his complexion suggested neither. The composure is also striking, especially for a person who is normally quite restrained himself (and is currently highly unsettled given events surrounding his arrival).]

[Spock himself might notice the man resembles a baseline human, save for a height that is extraordinary, some accompanying differences in physiology that make it likely he is not suffering from poor health due to his size, a lack of facial hair, and a rather different ear shape. And, despite a darker complexion, a skin tone that suggests he did not spend much time in sunlight.]

[Aerich matched Spock's tone.]

This is not my world. The study of other planes is not my expertise. Thus, I can offer no guidance as to the intentions of our captors. But they spoke of a 'ritual space'.

[It could simply be superstition. It could be whatever passed for magic here, cloaked in local superstition. It could involve beings treated like gods on this plane. There were too many unknowns, and their captors were not forthcoming.]
