A whole slurry of questions instantly flooded her mind, but she waited patiently for him to finish. After all, a vital detail may be missed if she spoke too soon. Her head slowly titled to one side, absorbing every detail this man cared to share with her. He didn't know where he was from? Then... perhaps he had bumped his head at some point? The more he spoke, the more sympathy she began to develop for him. That feeling of loneliness, confusion, a questioning of self... she could relate. Strange, how the world would seem to bring two people together, even if just for a passing moment. All things happened for a reason in the young woman's mind, whatever that reason may be, and perhaps the two of them were meant to help each other.
There were many cruel things she was sure Lucian had been called, and a good number of them that she herself had probably heard directed her way. People feared what they did not understand, and maybe that, in the end, was why no one wished to give Pandoru any details of her family as a child. Was it fair? No, but that didn't mean that she didn't understand. But what they lacked to tell her drove her; motivated to keep her going, and to find her own answers.
"This world... is a magical place," she started. Truth be told, it sounded like the beginning to a bad childrens story, but she could think of no other way to gather her thoughts. "I can't say that I've ventured far into it, but I've seen a fair amount of things one might consider strange or unusual... and you," she smiled, "are not one of them." She set her snack down on the ivory rag, taking a moment to adjust her clothing. "I've read a lot of books and talked to a lot of travelers. Wanderers and wizards, shape-shifters. My tomes tell of angels and demons and spirits that have sometimes come to walk on this planet. Elementals: dryads, sylphs and salamanders," she felt a deep warmth in her body. Clearly Apris was happy to be talked about, even if indirectly. "All in all... I don't think anything is out of the question. Maybe you aren't human... but that doesn't make you inhuman... you know?"
At this point, Pandoru wasn't sure if she was actually making any sense or if she was just babbling on and on about a point that made her sound intelligent. She scratched her cheek softly, silence falling on her as she tried to think of anything else to add. Previous reading may have labeled him as Essryni, but books would only help her so much, and that was a looong walk. "Do you remember where you woke up?" she began again. "Surely a nearby town would at least recognize you."
