[in honesty, Geir understood the question that Noctis was asking, but decided to answer teasingly because he's been asked variants of "are you REALLY a dragon?" a couple of times now. it's become equal parts comical and annoying, depending on how and when it's asked... but the mild tease seems to have gone over Noctis's head this time, and he decides not to pursue it further. it was probably a little ungenerous of him to react like that, anyway -- most humans seem very sheltered about the whole dragon thing. better to move on.

because Noctis's assumption that there was more technology is an interesting one, he instead asks what seems like the obvious question to him:]

How do you know that there was more technology than this here in the first place? I don't think all worlds must have it. Mine doesn't.

[in fairness, though, he doesn't know for sure that it wasn't so. who knows what happened to the people who obviously lived here...?]

But, no, no one that I know about has gone over every inch of the island. I think Jay is keeping track of where people have gone so far, if they tell him. Maybe there's more somewhere! It would be nice if we could find out more about what happened here.
