"Just so." It isn't the first time for Nuala, after all, and the familiarity (and not) of someone who might have been someone else is something she's learned to identify. After a moment, she offers a touch more specifically, "I believe he was of a German origin, and spoke of time spent in the Arctic - he called himself apart from mankind."

There's an implied question, there. She'd presumed as much (in both cases, now), but she's never known the reasons why, and curiosity is a great vice she rarely believes in not indulging.
