[Well, that’s unexpected. Fai hadn’t had time to put much thought into who (or what) would greet him in this new world, but the man who appears still manages to catch him off-guard. He looks harmless - which doesn’t mean anything. Looks can be deceiving, after all. But he doesn’t sense any magic from him, and that’s a little more difficult to fake. Between that and genuine surprise on his face...he might actually be telling the truth.

The immediate assistance indicates that as well. Either he’s honest, or there’s something more going on. In either case, there’s no immediate threat. Once Fai’s able to get out of the bindings, he sits up, and takes a moment to rub at his stiff wrists. His smile never falters.]

Thank you. [Questions about who did put him here - and where here is - can wait. There’s something else he needs to ask first.] Actually, I just arrived! Or woke up, anyways. It's hard to tell the difference. [Laughs lightly, before continuing.] Hmm, have you seen anyone else nearby? There should have been four others with me. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to look for them.
