"Do forgive me," Kahlan stammered slightly, her boots scuffing in the dirt as she stepped over. Her gloved hands combed her ashen brown hair back from her face to allow a clearer view of the man. "Perhaps you could stop acting as though you do not hear me and answer my question; where is the nearest town?"
"Mm, well, if you insist. You are forgiven." Dalamus gave a soft sigh as one red-on-black eye opened to peer at her. Bosmer; fairly young and healthy from what he could hear of her heartbeat. She spends a considerable amount of time outside, judging from her scent. But that was where his observations ended.
The mer sat up and then stood, nearly half a foot taller than her, while the pale light of the moons made his pallor that much more exaggerated. "The nearest town would be Riften, to the Southeast. About the same distance North is Shor's Stone. Keep going North and you will be in Windhelm, but I do not recommend staying there for long. To the West is Ivarstead, and then Riverwood. To the Northwest is Whiterun. The further North you go, the colder it will be."
