That's also possible, but... I guess the only way we'll be able to find out for sure is if we go investigate ourselves, whether that means actually going out to the towns or finding someone who received some concrete information.

Anyway, are you new here too? [She definitely has the demeanor of someone who isn't very familiar with her surroundings yet.]
