"Right," Ruby said with a small, soundless snort in the back of her thread- her eyes staying put on Anders face. "Naturally."
The skepticism in her tone was intentional- she wanted him to know she was scouring the surface, out of sheer curiosity if anything else. Things always got more interesting when you put a little heat on. There was something to this, and it wasn't just his level of confidence that would likely often barrel over regular people. The former witch in her knew a few human-puppeting spells, but none were as simple as just whispering in someone's ear.

"You haven't had a lot of time to...assess your surroundings yet, have you." Ruby wasn't asking a question- she was making an observation of his probably lack of observation. "You know most of the people here are... abnormal, in some way or another. Kind of what draws us here." She smiled, letting the hint sink in.
