[Claude grimaces a little at the confusion on the other end of the screen, but it sorts itself out quickly enough. He certainly can't blame her; he wasn't much better with these devices at first.]

The question of 'when' is a little tricky. This place does weird things in terms of time. It pulls people from their own worlds - with no regard for when, by the way, so I might have not experienced things yet that are in the past for you, or maybe I've experienced things that are still in your future - and then dumps them here. And while we're here, apparently no time actually passes back home. So whenever this place decides to send us back, it'll be like we never left. So I've been here going on two months now, but as far as I know, nobody back in Fodlan is missing me.

Don't ask me how any of this works, by the way. I've got no idea. Nobody seems to know. They know what happens, but not how or why...
