Fenris tilts his head slightly, and looks at her almost as if he's now acknowledged her existence for the first time.
"That's curious. If you're not lying, that is. You mean to tell me you've never heard of dwarfs, of elven, of Qun? And no, these are not animals, but other kinds of people - maybe ones that your legends speak of."
Looks at her warily, his hand on his chin, for a moment. "It may be truth, at that. After all, if only humans inhabit your land, it may be human place of origin - before any arrived in Thedas."
Because Fenris is still suspicious of "other world" statement he's heard. If he was in other world, that would be possible, that much was probably true - but it would mean his kidnappers have taken him through the Veil, more than once, and he was powerless to cross it back on his own.
So he preferred, at least for now, to think that only an sky, and a sea or an ocean, or five, or fifteen for all he knew, separated him from Thedas. And when he crossed them someday, on his own... then he could make his way back to Kirkwall, even if she, and they, his companions, no longer claimed as their home. He'd then hear where they all are now.
That was maybe a foolish hope. Maybe he was indeed beyond the Fade, in a place stranger than even somniari probably couldn't imagine. However, that wasn't certain yet.
