While this entire conversation has consisted of different levels of confusion for Hermione, Mac's response to her being from Earth might just have been the most bewildering aspect of the whole thing. Clearly, he'd heard of it, and he knows enough of the planet to at least know what the U.K. is, though it's clear - at least from all outward appearances - that he isn't from the same place.
And being asked what year she's from somehow makes everything seem a bit more ominous.
"I arrived in Thedas in October of 1998," she replies. "That was six months ago. Time seems to be a bit relative, since that seems to have been the third month of the Thedosian calendar, and I've spoken to other people from various... versions of Earth, I suppose. One is from Scotland in the 1960s, and another is from a starship somewhere in the 24th century, I believe, with a few others scattered around between and beyond those points. Why? Where and when are you from?"
