It's magic from what I know. But I have seen others in my world use a more advanced form of teleporting which would take them for far greater distances, as in to somewhere else entirely, and as for how that works I'm not sure. It either requires vastly different magic or some other method.
[ And some other method isn't out of the realm of possibility; given that the Agarthans had so much technology he hadn't seen before, it makes complete sense to him that this was how they had moved in and out of Fodlan as needed.
Claire's expression isn't something he recognizes other than the quick shifts of emotions, and it soon becomes clear why when she reveals more complications than simply a matter of years alone. He listens attentively with brow furrowed slightly. It's only fair to have his question mostly turned back around on him, though he offers Claire a rueful smile. ]
Ah, I have the perspective of being the one from further on in time rather than farther back in it. But if it were me, I wouldn't want to know my future that far out either since there's too much that could happen.
[ He's silent for a moment as he turns his gaze back to Lallybroch to look at it again briefly, thinking of first the decade and then two hundred years, and how time seems to have played some terrible tricks on them both. Maybe Claire's situation is different in that it seems someday she might be willing to hear something of the future. Had he been right in withholding what he knew? ]
Speaking of that perspective. I haven't told Hilda about what happens for much the same reason. It seemed... worse to tell her about it, and to know that if we ever leave here that's what's waiting for her.
