He's about to ask what the people with Evan are talking about and how the other man can be so casual about Meallan being here, but then Evan's pulling him away from everyone like they're at risk of being spotted and suddenly he recalls what Evan had told him so long ago about magical creatures needing to pass as human. That it might be dangerous not to.
So he lets himself be led, glancing around and noticing properly now the number of stares they get, how he can't see anyone at all who isn't human. He'd gotten used to seeing few elves with ALASTAIR, as much as it had pained him at times, but there'd still been other races around. Here there was no one who didn't look utterly human, not even humanoids like Laedo's shining, familiar form. It's disconcerting and he speeds up a little, following Evan's direction and hoping the younger man has a goal in mind of somewhere safer to talk.
But even as they walk, he can't help dropping his voice to a low murmur, asking the question he's fairly certain he knows the answer to already.
"Evan, is this your world? Am I going to have to... hide?"
