"Of course they'd be shocked," Strange remarks. Then he pauses for a moment, trying to think of a way to explain this to stave off any eavesdroppers... "Aspects of our arrival were odd to begin with. Did you know animals usually arrive with Lilith? And that they haven't seen anything like how some of us reacted to the brand?"

It's what Strange gleaned from the healers phrased in a question. Hopefully Syrlya would get the implication: they're already in a little bit of shit. But, as for Ignatius, he shakes his head.

"As for the skink, I don't know. I didn't receive much information from the healers, just that he's gone."
