Caist did not look back at Kent as he began to speak to the others. The old man's words stung, but he was after something far more important. "He's right...we're not the bad guys here. In fact, we're trying to find out who did this. Having someone out there giving our kind a bad name does no good for Wanderers or humans, let alone ending so many innocent lives. Please, let us help you. Just think back, before you wound up here, what happened?" Even if the man wouldn't say anything, it was almost guaranteed his current thoughts would go through those last few moments leading up to the explosion. He wouldn't have to harm the man to get his information.

Mei threw off her hoodie, heavy with water. It had soaked through to her tank top. Wonderful. She watched the hobbling young man who had been speaking to Jade pass her, wondering where he got off giving sagely advice to someone who was obviously dealing with something dark in her head. Now was one of those times Mei wished her family was a bunch of famous psions and not white mages. She stood beside Jade, saying nothing to her, watching the others try to speak to the two very wet victims.
