Kel nodded trustingly, taking the Fae lady's information as truth. He glanced back at the town as if to fix its name in his mind, but when she mentioned Outlanders again he looked back at her, a faintly pained look on his face for a moment before he looked down at his callused hands and gave a slight shake of his head. "I... don't think I want to be with 'other' Outlanders," he admitted quietly. "I mean... I don't know why I would, if they're just as lost and confused as I am. And if they're not from the same world I am it... it would be too strange, I think. Too hard, just yet. If I have to get used to this world... for now at least... I should probably spend time with people who live here. Who can teach me what I need to know to... to fit in here." Until he could find a way to his real home again, the wistful longing in his voice seemed to say.
He knew Jiao said that she wasn't from around here, but he thought that perhaps she had gotten to know the locals a bit, if she worked on a ship. He blinked when he realized that they were the only people she knew here, though, and he bit his lip nervously for a moment as he thought it through. "Um... who are they?" he asked at last, not knowing enough about them to make a decision one way or the other yet. "What are they like? Are they Fair One-- are they Fae, like you?"
