His eccentricities have always been the topic of other people’s mouths. Another voice in the mixture is nothing new to him; however, it is rare for him to be responded to so frankly. His flaws tends to be spoken under hushed tones, behind closed doors, echoing in empty rooms and empty headed dissenters who have no interest in actually proving him wrong, only wallowing in their self dissatisfaction using him as an excuse to stagnate. Really, he would much rather hear a well constructed argument against him. But a plainspoken, candid retort is enough to draw his attention to the unfamiliar figure that stands before him in this dreamscape.

His eyes narrow in scrutiny as he fails to recognize a person or place of origin in Lalli’s appearance within his own memories. A complete and utter stranger. In his sanctuary. In the depths of his mind. What is the meaning of this? Minds are fickle things. Dreams even more so. But not so fickle as to meticulously craft a perfect stranger in front of him that he can’t pick apart.

“‘Passing through’, you say. And who or what are you then to intrude?” Perhaps, he’s on edge after the Planet of Festivities concluded the way it did. Or perhaps, he just can’t stomach the thought of having someone else take up space in mind without his knowledge or say so. Veritas does not take kindly to those who would pry upon his vulnerable mind. He measures his skepticism, near bordering on hostility, into a fine edge believing the unfamiliar figure to be a product of a potential Memosnatcher.

Lalli wasn't used to someone like this man. A mage, certainly. There was no other way to explain how he speaks. Lalli looks over the station one final time. Perhaps he works at those trains across the cityscapes across the Known World. There was a time where Lalli would've found that a probable answer if it wasn't for the fact he had been to one. It's too clean here.... too simple. It doesn't harbour the same annoying hustle and bustle, and the resulting rugged look, that the stations have.

Lalli scoffs and states, "I'm a mage of course. This really isn't- You should know all of this by now." He crosses his arms and grumbles something under his breath, calling this all 'stupid, stupid'. Really, for a man with such weird words, one would think he'd know mage basics since he was one. "Not many Finnish Mages do this, I'm surprised I can at all!"

He pauses and looks at the man again, "I was just.... looking for someone, that's all."
