The blush did not receed. If anything, her face grew hotter. Well, he didn't appear to be freaking out, which was a plus... Or he just did a really good job at hiding it. There were no doubts whatsoever that he believed her, though, which was a bit unexpected. She wondered what his secret was... Was it weirder than hers? Probably. He was tapped into some power-source that she couldn't pinpoint, and it was making her both extremely curious and a bit nervous.

"My definition of normal's being updated by the hour," he added. "And things were already pretty weird before I got here. Unless you already know about that," and seeing her blank look, "or not."

He wasn't entirely sure how the scarab had confirmed her story, but the response essentially came down to If we can scan for magic and see astral projections, we ought to be able to see angels.
