There’s a faint chuckle at her response to his question because it surprises him - somehow he had not been anticipating that answer at all. Although he was new to this land, he found it easy to assume that he was in the minority and anyone he came across would have been living here for some time. Still, he is quick to respond to her question. “Not at all.” The words and the smile that accompany them are all warmth and friendliness. “Wherever we end up, it’s a treat to just have company after travelling on my own for so long.” There’s a note of wistfulness in his tone but he doesn’t dwell on the thoughts for very long - doesn’t seem polite when he actually has company for once. It is not long before his silver eyes look to her again, that easy of his smile still present as he keeps the conversation going - hoping she doesn’t mind. “Are you relatively new to this land as well?” From one assumption to another, Mesec does enjoy making leaps though he does not think this one is a very large one. He supposes she could just not have a very good sense of direction - or be lying about not knowing where the trail leads - but both of those options don’t sit right. For all the handful of moments that he’s known Aletta - but then Mesec always found it easy to trust the best in everyone other than himself. Mesec
