[ He raises an eyebrow, but he can't exactly question her results. And with absolutely no offense to Caitlin, it does make him slightly more relieved that the bandits seem to be human and not... super powered mind-controlling bandits. They've seen some things.

That doesn't mean the forest is safe, but as Lorna has apparently already told her, it could be worse. ]

Psychic... zombie witches, if you want to be precise about it. [ Somehow he still feels guilty about the witches. What happened to them might not have entirely been their fault, but he helped bury a lot of them before they left. He's not sorry that Caitlin missed that.

She's only been here a few days. It doesn't make sense, but that would explain why she's confused. Not that he's much better. Marcos never really thought that the portal could have sent them to different places at different times. He'll have to figure out what that means later. One of the others might know. ]

That was only the start of it. We thought we had problems at home, but I guess we can say at least we didn't have the undead to worry about. [ He's trying to joke along with her, like it's reaffirming to have someone around to recognize how crazy this all has been, but he's also watching her closely. Checking for any visible injuries she's keeping quiet about while they make light of this entire ordeal.

He nearly asks if she came through the portal alone, but changes his question at the last second. ]

Did she tell you about the mermaids?


ooc: no, you're amazing. I'm thrilled to bounce off Caitlin :>
