Yes, he knows the letter says he is but he's been ensconced in the welcoming arms of Fade Trickery before and this isn't it. For one, he's fairly sure he wouldn't be doubting it -- rather, he'd be in the middle of a delightful tea party with Duncan and his parents right now, sharing a laugh over scones. Not wandering a strange town clutching a basket.
All that said, he figures he should still keep his guard up -- you know, just in case -- so when he finally encounters another person he doesn't drop to his knees and thank the maker that he isn't alone in this generally not-too-terrible-so-far-really hellscape. Instead, he shouts at them. ]
