Does he believe it? Yes and no. He doesn't believe that any of those who have gone back and returned once more were lying or mistaken about their experiences. But what Jesper describes is almost too simple in its way, and Altaïr does not trust anything about this to be simple. He listens carefully, though, interest more than piqued by another story from one who'd apparently crossed worlds more than once.
"I'm glad you had something good to look back on," he says, and means it — and that's as much a sign as any that the past year has changed him, because this would not have been the case a year ago. "Despite that, what is so bad about the place you came from?"
