Yes. [Sandrath confirms with a nod and takes a moment to brush the sand from his hand on his pant leg. He doesn't mention the various things he had to adjust to since his species change. Most of them were trivial by human standards.]

I was originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. [A small frown appears on his lips as his tone becomes emotionless. The tendrils on his back start to shift and move with anger.] When I woke up here, I was soaked to the bone, covered in several scratches and bruises. Except I wasn't on the beach. Apparently a fisherman fished me and many others up before dropping us off in the hospital. Don't go in to the hospital looking for answers. It's no longer in use. You'll have better luck at the Lake Dala clinic or in Bavan.

[Even though that would be a hit or miss for infomration. That reminds him to warn her about the state of Vandare.] When you go in to town, avoid the northern section. There was a recent change in the world of politics and the people who are scared of "monsters" and foreigners built a wall to keep us out.

I'm Xander by the way. [He gives her a smile, even if it was a bit forced.]
