[Oh. He hasn't thought about that, and he pales slightly.]
I... really hope so. I feel like they should have told us, if this was more common... [He knows of several monster friends who leave the city walls a lot.]
[Even with as entitled as Ozymandias is by virtue of being pharaoh, he ultimately understands that they are under no obligation to provide anything to any of the mirrorbound. As far as Ozymandias can tell, what they have done so far is less out of a sense of obligation and more because the alternative of leaving the mirrorbound to fend for themselves would be a greater hassle and inconvenience than simply managing the situation.]
They don't appear to have much of a tendency to speak of much outside their city and its concerns.
[Which is equal parts understandable and frustrating in its own way. When the mirrorbound arrive, they are probably best off knowing what's most relevant to their current situation. Beyond that runs the risk of overwhelming them. But it seems just as relevant given the dangers that appear to exist beyond the walls of the city.]
[Really, if the city is an enemy, Paris mostly thinks it would be in their best interests to tell them not to go there and add forces, even unwilling ones- and if they were more altruistically minded, that a warning of something that could easily effect half the population would be something worth mentioning.
He just sighs, and then something occurs to him.] ...What is they have the same problem here? W-what if they have people showing up out of the mirrors...?
That seems unlikely with the present situation, [Ozymandias says with a shake of his head,] but I suppose it could someday become a possibility.
[Which in that case: would it be something like Aefenglom's case where it doesn't appear to be something intentional or would this city's Coven seek this out intentionally to increase their Monster population? Ozymandias would hazard to guess that they would find a means of doing so intentionally rather than having it be as unknown as it is for the Coven of Aefenglom.]
[Paris may like being in Aefenglom, but he knows many don't like being taken from home, and he can't imagine what it would have been like to show up here rather than a place that was at least moderately welcoming.]
[But it is beyond either one of them in terms of controlling for something like that. Although this dream allows Ozymandias more command over magic than he has in the waking world, he is still without enough ability to raze a city like this to the ground as he would be capable of in his own world.]
That should no longer be an issue with your glamour. [A beat before he considers it a little further and says,] Assuming, of course, that your friend has not been taken to a further location that they only allow certain Witches.

...Maybe once we wake up... someone will know what to do. [Someone has to, right?]

[As helpful as Nessie and Mhairi have been to the mirrorbound, they also are quite limited in what they appear to have answers for.]

...I guess it doesn't matter right now. [Not much they can do in the moment- other than what Ozymandias has already done.]
