Round of applause for that!

"However," Yennefer said, "they have nothing on simply using a portal to get to your destination--which, yes, is an option available to all on our island, but it turns out is not available to the rest of the populace. Instead they get to get crammed into an enclosed metal tube with several hundred strangers for hours on end. Who thought this up?" she demanded of the universe. It sounded like hell.
"Boats," Jaskier repeated with a little shudder. "Still far worse. But this line to board the plane seems awful as well."
Aww, they were new to the TSA.
"You have to take your--why should I have to take my shoes off? In public? So people can see my feet? That's completely improper," complained the woman who hosted magic orgies in her free time.
Jaskier's expression said that he knew if a reason people would want to see that. "Either way, here is one thing that isn't better here. Do you all have something that isn't as good as back home?"
"You might also find the fashion lacking, for instance," Yennefer said to kick off conversation. "And the pollution is deeply unfortunate. But to each their own, so. What is lacking in this world?"
