Of course Vrenille noticed that he wasn't digging himself out of the hole he seemed to be getting in. The problem was that he couldn't quite figure out why. Obviously he was saying something that wasn't quite right, because he would have expected his reassurance to be, well, reassuring, and somehow it didn't seem to be working out that way.
"No, not criminal," he assured as best he could. "At least I shouldn't think so." What if he had somehow gotten to somewhere in Cantha...or even Elona? Granted, this placed didn't feel at all like he'd expect for either of those, but what the hell did he know? There'd been no contact with Cantha for centuries and Elona was closed off, or at least the routes that could eventually lead there were. It wouldn't be criminal to get back where he'd been from anywhere in central Tyria, but he was increasingly sure that he wasn't in central Tyria at all.
And now he had Remus asking for specifics, and he could already tell that trying to hedge here would not be a great move on the trust-building front. He had to make a decision...
Really it was no surprise that Vrenille opted to try and work the human connection angle. That was just sort of what he did. He was good with people, current weird miscommunications notwithstanding. He knew all of one person here (wherever here really was) and he was damn well not going to alienate him by seeming all shady and secretive. Not if he could possibly help it at least.
"Well, I was in the northern part of the Maguuma Jungle when all this happened." He already pretty much guessed that Remus wouldn't recognize the name, so he quickly added, "If maybe we could get a map, then I could show you." And show myself, he added silently.
Gosh I'd pretty much forgotten about all that!
