Markus hummed as Max first spoke. He didn't want to believe people would brush off such things so easily, but he realized that it was true. Between the conspiracy theories, social media, deep fakes, and more, it was possible, and even likely, that people would brush off much more than Markus was comfortable admitting.
As Max spoke about his experience, and clarified Markus nodded. “I see,” Markus murmured, he didn't expect an easy answer, but he would be lying if he hadn't hoped there was some clear-cut, this folklore got it all right, scenario. “Any examples, or scenarios, you would be willing to share? I recently learned someone I knew was a merman, and... well... I guess the tail was certainly exaggerated.” He said, fishing for more info.
