The stranger didn’t move - like at all. His question was a simple one though. ”Im not lost, if that’s what you’re wondering.” Nox’s maps were well drawn and up to date. He could find his way out anywhere.
But the truth was he wasn’t sure where he was going. ”But I don’t know where I’m going. As I said - I’m following rumors.

It sounded like a harpy - which meant there might be more. He wasn’t sure how the stranger would respond to this.
