[Thanks for not mentioning that Zack, because yes. He would be flustered. Extremely so. But speaking of paranoia, since being flustered was not on the cards, he takes the opportunity, as they near the coven's building, to pause.
He stays away- far away- from any of the groups of mages lingering about the place before he answers.]
Aerith told me she felt something here. She couldn't talk to it though, barely even knew what it was. Something to do with... [...Man. How did Aerith even word things to all of them, back home? Even recounting what she said is hard.] ...She said she was a stranger to this place. That was how she didn't know. She knew there was something. But that's all.
[That over with... his voice lowers all the more to respond to Zack's query about the coven.]
Not really. Doesn't mean that there isn't anything though. I've been here... [....How long?] ...over 6 months. Other than the welcome basket, there's never been any opportunity to talk to anyone about any of it. Sometimes, we get paid for clearing out areas, or working as meatshields for their scientists. They don't say a damn word, either.
