[As he so often does. He does not always offer those thoughts so freely, but in this case, he thinks he may well benefit from doing exactly that.]
I can't say I've been dedicated to the search in full, but it's been on my mind. I've done a bit of mapping of the surrounding areas while out and about, and kept an eye open for anything that might seem amiss, but there's been nothing of note so far.
[He frowns briefly, pausing to take a sip of his drink.]
I should think the local authorities might act with a bit more urgency in a situation like this. Were it one or two people having vanished, it would seem far less significant, but this many at once is alarming, to say the least.
[ There's an interested tilt to his head as Balthier mentions mapping the area, but he holds his piece until it seems like the man has paused. He's not terribly shocked to hear some of his own thoughts repeated back to him, something that earns a slightly wry expression. ]
No one does seem too alarmed, do they? [ Concerned, yes, but not the sort of panic he might have expected from so many vanishing without a trace. ] Strange. Maybe they've decided that if so many can appear from nowhere, some must have to be removed.
[ It's not a serious suggestion, heavy with irony as it is, but the point stands. ]
One would think we'd have heard if something like this has happened before.
They do take rather a lot in stride around these parts.
[It's hardly the only thing here that's struck him as suspicious, but even now, having been here for several weeks, it still rubs him the wrong way. If he had his ship and the ability to leave this place behind on a whim, it might be easier to shove it aside— or so he tells himself. As it stands, he finds his thoughts quite preoccupied with all that doesn't add up here.]
I've not seen anything of the like mentioned in town records, though who knows how factual any of those actually are. I don't believe anything here is to be taken at face value.
