"A young women like yourself can't simply galavant across country on a whim, there are creatures and deviants who prowl these lands at night waiting for the chance to snatch up a maiden such as yourself."
Keely mulled over this spiel of his, slightly offended. She'd made it this far on her own, she was fully capable of making it to the next village on her own. However it may be handy to have this man around...
"I think I would be perfectly capable of getting myself to the nearest village. Besides I would not want to put you off your own course, you've probably got a wife and child waiting for you to arrive safely home and I'd hate to deprive them of your return."
Thalion looked at her with curiosity, what was it about this young woman that was so puzzling, there seemed to be a great strength within her. But being the chivalrous man that he was he could not simply let her go on her own. Not through these woods, not in these times.
"Well Keely I happen to be heading toward home at this time. So my escorting you in that direction," he nodded toward the mountain, "would cause my return no delay. Allow me to escort you to my village, I gather you haven't a place to stay, my wife and sons would be pleased if you came to stay with us until you know exactly where it is you plan to go."
