Chris frowned when he was pretty much bypassed. It wasn't that he wasn't used to it happening, it was just that was strange to have it happen when he wasn't trying to discuss a demon or some other threat with the Charmed Ones. But really, it was the whole accent thing that annoyed him. Hey, just because he was American didn't mean that he didn't know anything.
"What's this rift nonsense? Are you talking about something like a tear in time?" Because that was the first thing that came to mind for him, hearing those words. Which didn't make sense to Chris but perhaps different worlds had different rules. There were worlds without magic, after all.
