She truly has no way of knowing or guessing what someone like Jane might ask of her and her life. Amelia's never been the most open of people, especially with strangers, and Jane is a special case. In a way, Amelia has taken her place at Thor's side, only more so now that Asgard is truly a people and not a place. It makes the rogue feel awkward, but it helps to have something to speak of rather than simply listening to the distant waves or their footfalls beneath them.
"I'm not from any version of Earth. My world is called Kairn, and it's very different from Earth. The closest comparison I could make is that of Renaissance times here, though it's not the most apt at times." She smiles nervously, reaching her fingers up into her hairpin. "We use swords and bows for combat, ships and horse-drawn carts for travel and moving goods, and we lack the focus on arts and cultural revitalization I've read about with the time period here on Earth. Some of our countries are ruled by kings, though, and cities further out are run by a tiered system of nobility. It's mostly a formality, but there's enough structure there to make it worthwhile to be involved or to support it so they keep cities and trade running." Both in her case, though she doesn't offer that. She has something else that she thinks will be of value to Jane to offer instead.
"We also have no magic or anything like it. There's rumors of it in far corners of the world, but the closest we have are stories passed down from many generations ago." She shrugs, dropping her hand to her side again. "Everything runs on what we can do with our hands or make happen with our minds. Past that, it's not particularly of interest." It's also long since locked away from the rest of the multiverse, so it doesn't really matter. No one's ever going to visit it, because no one can.
Her smile turns a touch wistful as she looks up after a moment's silence. "Our sky is green, though. Like the aurora you see in the skies here. I didn't even realize it until I saw a blue sky for the first time. It was so... normal to me that I didn't know it could be any different."
