"You'll have to get them from someone who knows better. I'm fresh out," Anders replies, shrugging as he watches the oddly placid city street pass by. No one here seems to care at all, not for the disheveled strangers running in terror from the suddenly impassably foggy beach, nor for anything else at all.
"I've got a funny feeling we're going to be searching a while for someone who doesn't think all this is perfectly ordinary, actually." Or at least not interesting enough to bother with. Unless those few or any help around here are all hiding out somewhere they've simply overlooked - and that doesn't exactly lighten his spirits in the least - they simply don't seem to exist.
Well, beyond their fellow Travelers, anyway. But Anders is just as reluctant to start looking for leadership among a bunch of lost strangers. At least outside the moment.
"You'd be the first to say so who wasn't well-versed in spells and such." His own smile is thin and not especially light, a rare failure of the careless facade he tries so hard to project. But it doesn't leak into his tone, this time, at least. "Usually it's frightening more than fascinating."
