In a way, Chris felt like he was back in the world he knew. This place looked in about as bad shape as parts of the San Francisco he had known most of his life. It was disheartening yet at the same time it perhaps kept him from panicking as much as he could be.

No, the panic seemed reserved at the moment for his new companion, though he wasn't showing it at the moment. But then, they both seemed relieved the supposed human with the red eyes had left them, even if it did mean they were on their own for the moment in this rundown, inhabitable town. Chris sighed and ran his hands through his hair, half expecting to feel a bump from whatever his head had hit when he tried to orb up to the heavens. Don't think about that. Do not think about that. You're no good if you panic.

"What do you think he meant by that? Not being on Earth." He turned his attention to Connor, figuring it was best to keep them both engaged in conversation. They didn't have to be on another planet to not be on the same Earth. Could be a different plane, or a parallel world. There were lots of options. Which made Chris think of something the other man had said. "And what did you mean when you said you'd seen weirder?" It made him wonder if Connor was from a world with magic too. That would certainly support his theory that he might be Chris' unofficial charge. Ignoring the conflict of the years they were taken from.

"Yeah, better off not to take the chance then. Who wants to relive their teen years? Not me." Chris was doing his best to ignore the smell too. And hoping it wouldn't take too terribly long for their clothes to dry out. Since they weren't yet soaked to the bone he figured at least by the time night rolled around and they tried to sleep they should be, for all intensive purposes, dry.

He tossed the towel on the floor before he sat down, leaning his back some against the wall. "I think if anyone was really territorial they'd have pounced by now." Chris sighed at the prospect of being stuck in this place any real length of time, but it was likely something he should deal with sooner rather than later. "Though if people have been here for a week or more they probably are starting to get territorial, at least over necessities." While he didn't want to think about possibly needing to use his telekinesis to take things from people if they were hoarding or something, he certainly would. He and Connor had to survive too.

Chris was really so much more practical than Connor was. He was already worried about food and survival supplies. Connor was just thinking about the sort of place they were in and how soon they could get the hell out. It hadn't even occurred to him to prepare to bunker down for more than a day or two. Hmm.

"So what you're basically saying is, we're screwed." Always look on the bright side, Connor! Well, not completely screwed. After all, they had a magic do-er on their side! Theirs. Well, he hoped this bloke would put up with him for more than an hour or two. For one, it wasn't often you met someone who did the sorts of things Chris could. For another, he was part angel. Seriously.

And, on top of that? He found he kind of liked the guy. In a 'you know a lot more than me and are probably ten times more brilliant but you're nice enough to talk to' sort of way. "So...what do we do now?" As if in afterthought, he pulled out the box he'd been lying next to when he'd arrived. Well...a dry pair of socks would be welcome, wouldn't it? He began pulling off his trainers and giving little regard to the fact that Chris was, for all purposes, a perfect stranger.

"Nah, we'll be alright." He wouldn't let them starve at least. They would be fine as long as they didn't panic, or so he figured at the moment. Who knew what the next day would bring. Shrugging at the question, Chris leaned his head back against the wall and stared up at the ceiling for a few moments. "I suppose most people would probably want to go find others that are stuck in this place, but after the two we've already met..." He let his words trail off, pretty sure Connor would understand where he was going with the statement.

Connor didn't even try to hide his snicker. "As far as I'm concerned? They can come to us. This place is just plain deranged and if this is what they're giving us for companionship?" He nodded towards the door where Remy had left them and the tall, lanky man had run to and from. "Yeah, no. I think I'm just fine hiding in the corner till it's time to hunt down food or something. We'll be hunters and gatherers, it'll be just fine. Really."

Right. Or not. Whatever, it would do for the moment, at least. Hell, he could use a nap at the moment, as screwed up as this place was.
