[That's a straightforward enough question, though Ren blinks slightly at the notion that he has to be from the future to take robots in stride. Nonetheless, he waves a hand rather casually once he passes that initial moment.]

I think I'm from what a lot of people here would consider the "present"...but I guess I've just seen a lot of odd stuff before. People in my time already write about robots and humans existing together, so the idea of it actually happening doesn't feel all that weird to me, you know?

[Granted, a lot of those stories have it backfiring somehow, but that seems like a bad subject for this kind of conversation.]
