[ Wanda's comment about wonders gets a snort of a laugh from Claude, fortunately not timed with actually taking a drink though he was lifting his glass to do that just then. Though it does make him (briefly) ponder whether that means there's more of their ravine friend out there, and that's not a particularly comforting thought.
It doesn't stick in his mind for long, however, when Wanda continues her train of thought and he sets his glass down to study her to see if she's kidding. It doesn't seem like it, even despite his own sort of laughter seconds ago. ]
Wait a minute. They warn you not to leave the settlements because things like that are roaming around there? Or outside of it? That's not something they tell us over in the Free Cities.
[ Or, well: that's not entirely accurate now that he thinks about it though he spends a brief pause searching his memory for what he remembers about his arrival from months ago. ]
When they summoned us here, it was all done at a military outpost outside of the city. There's a wagon that goes back and forth between it and Cadens and the ride was around a couple hours or so. They mentioned the desert's dangerous if you don't have a weapon between some monsters and bandits roaming around so walking around was a bad idea, but I was always pretty sure that was because they wanted to keep us there and convince us to enlist over anything else. I haven't heard of anything quite this size around Cadens, but it almost sounds like they're... common in Solvunn.
