There are.

[ Casually, as this doesn't weigh on his mind every single day. ]

But I have duties here now, too. I'm second-in-command of the Patrol Unit, for one, and I wish to help reconcile the differences between the Scorched and Anatoleans, for another.

But yes. You are not the only one who longs for home.

Is there much tension between the the native and non-native people here then? I have sensed something of a distaste directed at me from the Anatoleans but I was rather hoping it was because my clothes don't quite fit in here or my hair is an odd color.

The long and short of it is, there's tension. Enough to have been violence. The common perception is that we are intruders and responsible for a great deal of property damage. The more monstrous Scorched see ordinary humans, those not "chosen" by the Door, as dispensable. Obviously when prejudice and rumour fly even the kindest citizens can turn nasty. But there's been significant conciliatory steps taken, lately. Remus Lupin has friends from all walks, and Trevor Belmont started a charity drive for those who lost their homes or livelihood in the battles about a month ago. There was even a party recently open to everyone. But it's a hard fight.

It sounds it. Historically, these sort of rifts don't usually come to anything good. But if people are reaching out to one another, hopefully it can be different here.

I hope you'll count me as an interested party if you should make any endeavor towards that end. I would very much like to be a part of any effort to reconcile differences. I haven't ever done anything quite of the sort but... should you ever need an extra hand or voice, I would be more than happy to lend mine. It's important work.

It is indeed. Very well, I shall keep you in mind.

Thank you, Arthur.
