[You learn to live with what life gives you, or you change it. For most of his long life, Carpet has accepted things as they come, dutiful and obedient, enjoying the good times and patiently enduring the bad. Sometimes, though--sometimes, even if only in small ways, he's able to change the world around him. Maybe it's saving someone's life, or helping to conquer a great evil, or bringing two hearts together, or even just making a friend smile..... but even little gestures can still be significant to someone. Even a tiny change can still be a victory.
Coming here has been bewildering and concerning for the most part so far, and yet..... somehow, strangely liberating, too? Having a device to be able to talk with people is amazing, and he's thrilled to be able to make so many friends; he's not sure he's ever met so many people so quickly in his whole life! What an amazing opportunity to connect with humans. And what a good opportunity to help everyone adjust to such a sudden, shocking displacement, to be able to make an awful situation that little bit brighter!
Once Jan sits back, Carpet flits back into the air, holding the door open to let her in. Time to go put away their stuff, now that they've come back down to earth and more mundane matters--almost a letdown after a trip like that, isn't it?]
Might be a good place to either end or timeskip?
