Immediately, Vander learned some valuable information. This was a great start to their first interaction with a citizen of this world in spite of the awful introduction. He wondered what form Tania would take if any. He had no doubt she could handle herself regardless.

[quote]He leaned back groggily and took in a few deep breaths, still trying to calm the adrenaline rush. "I'm Rath by the way." [/quote]

Vander nodded in greeting. [b]"I am the Watcher."[/b]

He had no problems with Whiteside being a cold place. A warm enough room would be plenty fine. He was battle-hardened enough that safe was not a huge concern. Battle-hardened? He had seen plenty of battles, yes. However, that was while he played YGGDRASIL. He barely saw any combat here, and that happened all at their entrance to this new world. Perhaps his hunch was actually correct. That would explain the sudden outburst of rage from Cain. It would explain the sudden talkativeness and expressiveness of Lena.

[b]"Just a place to rest is fine,"[/b] Vander stated. [b]"We can take care of the rest. As far as your comment about not having a guide.
 I am particularly skilled at wilderness survival in all types of terrain. I asked as we simply have found ourselves suddenly and mysteriously where we should not be."[/b]

It seemed that they had some options as to where they could go. He glanced to the others to observe their next actions and see what they wanted to do next. It was not his place to respond to the question of Rath.
