"I can't go back to my world, so cross-contamination there is frankly not an issue for me. I only had one object brought over so far...and that's because I have someone special to me who wanted physical evidence that I was alive and real here. I thought a small gift would help her. As for other worlds, I travel light and keep technology unique to my universe under close watch."

But Ben's attention is more focused on the second question. Art is something he is interested in. While he's a mechanic, he does sketches when he's in the mood. It's a simple reapplication of his skill with calligraphy. Art's one of the calming hobbies he's taken on in his spare time to help himself relax.

"You're welcome to stay in the apartment complex where I live. It's easy to adjust there, isn't too crowded, and you'll have room for your supplies." Ben elaborates a little more. "I'm an artist, too. Well, it's more of a hobby for me. Sometimes I go to the Wilds to sketch landscapes or animals, and sell the better ones in the Plaza." It's not a job, exactly, but it's a way to supplement his income.
