It’s a smart idea to have a buddy system, for so many documented reasons. Strange isn’t picky about who he journeys through the Crossroads with, so long as they can put up with his occasional jokes about supervision and tying themselves to each other for safe-keeping.
Today he’s walking alongside Vanya Orlov, and he very politely doesn’t remark on why it’s such a good idea to have company. The other man is quiet and hard enough to read, difficult to tell if Orlov’s bothered at all by being back here. Their conversation remains mostly polite and professional as they head for the Nevarran eluvian, mage and (former) templar together, headed for the crypt exit where they’ll eventually be met and escorted further to the Necropolis by one of Riftwatch’s Mortalitasi allies.
As they approach the mirrors, the sorcerer finally just has to ask: “When was the last time you were in Nevarra City? Has it really been overrun by the undead for almost five years?”

Okay, but sound less excited about it, Stephen.
