Hermione isn't sure what to make of what this "Mac" person is telling her. While he might speak and act like a Rifter, he certainly doesn't look like one. Or, at least, he looks too much like a particular race of Thedosian people to really count as a Rifter, at least insofar as Hermione knows.

"I'm from Earth," she tells him, still looking him over carefully. "A little place called Britain, to be exact. I know a few people from Earth and from my general location, but I didn't know anyone prior to my arriving here." And the few that she does know come from a faraway future or past, but she's of no mind to bring that up to him right at this moment.

It takes her a while, but she eventually manages to gather up the courage and take a breath as she tells him, "Sorry, but... is that what all of your people look like? I wouldn't normally ask such a thing, but you look an awfully lot like a Qunari."
