"Huh," Jenkins says, giving him another once over.
Tom ignores him, his eyes wandering back to the bookshelves. "This place is incredible. You're... trying to tell me I'm in a different universe?"
"No." Jenkins shakes his head. "Same universe. Different type. This is still Earth, like you are from Earth. Just a different one." While Tom exhales, taking the mug Jenkins offers him, the Caretaker continues on. "In this world, magic is real. Now it might not be in yours – but I need you to be open-minded here about the possibility."
"Magic is real." Tom thinks about that for a moment, then chuckles. "So you're saying the 'Djinns' are..."
"... actual Djinns. Yes, sir. Magical creatures, like the ones from Scheherazade's tales."
Now that he's calmed down somewhat Tom seems to be a lot more willing to at least talk through this, even though his eyebrows climb higher than Mount Everest. "Okay. Right. Alright then. What do they want with me?"
