"Well for starters, you're in the southern forest. Any forests considered north in Silnaria would be to the East and would be leading you to Prasia and Lymia."*He'd explain.*"If you want to continue Southward like you are, you'd be heading to Mentia. Arguably a better place outside of the warfare and all."*Part of him questioned what this man could be up to wanting to head to the other side of the Empire, though Terrel doubted he had much business in it, knowing his history with the empire.*

 "If you want to head to the closest town from here, that would Iluot which would be just beyond the forests. You'd either have to backtrack or go off trail completely though because I can guarantee this route won't take you straight there."*He'd trot onwards a bit.*"Of course there's also Esvoduko which are actually beyond Silnari lands, but I doubt you'd get to either town before nighttime hits."

"Tch, fuck." *Was Conway's immediate reaction. Had he really gotten so turned around within the forest that instead of heading North he ended up South? Or had he looked at the map wrong? Or could it have been the fact that he had been back tracking so Gods damn much. As he stood there and listened to the stranger, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Where did he want to go? He figured that was the thing about freedom, he had the choice to go where ever he wanted. And as long as it wasn't his father's manor then he honestly didn't care.*

"Whether I reach there before nightfall or not does not matter to me. As long as i get there." *Going back to Iluot would be bad. The town was probably infested with his father's men. No, it would be best for him to travel outside of the empire's borders for a while and return when his father has stopped looking.* "Which way to Ezvoduko?" *He asked the rider after a moment of pondering. He was begining to think it may have been an act of the gods that he met this stranger. Guiding him from the hell that was life within his father's household.*
Christopher
*He'd point out towards the East, his finger leading on to more trees and forests to travel through if the man so decides to go that way.*"Though I must say, Prasia would be the Lora lands, but seeing as you seem keen to leave the empire for some reason that shouldn't be much of a problem."*The Elf would explain. Part of Terrel was suspecting of him trying to get away from something out here with him not caring of the route.*

"If your map isn't helping you, you should probably visit a library or something. I doubt someone who doesn't know their directions is going to be able to walk in a straight line long enough to reach a completely different country and get to the town there nonetheless. Esvoduko is at the Far East side of Prasia where there's nothing but mountain ranges to get in your way, but if you want to test your luck trying, be my guest."
Edwin
*He raised an eyebrow in disbelief. The only other closest town was that far? By the time he managed to reach it he would run out of everything in his supplies. He would have to risk going Iluot to see if he could quickly gather supplies. It was his beat option thus far. Maybe he could find a group to travel with. He would be safer with them, wouldn't he?*

*While he considered his options he decided to ignore the obvious ego issue this man seemed to have. Initially a part of Conway wanted to defend himself. But he realized that it would only be a waste of time. He had no need to explain himself to this elf. Though maybe getting a compass or even a better map would do him better in the long.*
Christopher
*With Conway lost in thought it seemed, Terrel would give his horse a small tap to get him trotting by, moving past the horse that sat in the middle of the path.*"Of course one could always find that kind of stuff in Mentia's library with all the things it has, but that would be another country over. Not that the nearest city isn't about the same distance as Esvoduko anyways, so I guess it'll make no difference to you."*He'd say as he walked by. It seemed to him that the Elf may be stuck on figuring things out on his own, which Terrel was all too inclined in letting him with the day coming closer to ending.*
Edwin
*Again he was struck with more information that changed his plans. Each town was equally apart. So whichever he chose he would be trekking the same distance.* "No it won't." *He shook his head as he turned away, heading back to his map. He knelt down beside it and folded it up, intent in returning it to his saddle bag. Reaching up he grabbed onto the horses saddle and pulled himself up with ease. He kept an eye on the other elf as he passed wondering if he should do the civil thing and ask their name. But why would he do that? What use to him would it be? None, none at all. He tapped his horses sides with his heels turning in the direction he needed to head and started off without another word.*
Christopher
*With Conway taking the route through the forests, Terrel would be mildly aware of him vanishing off as he'd continue on the path he was heading down to Mentia. With a light tap to his horse's side, he'd get Carl to speed up into a gallop along the road. It was a random encounter as far as one could go, though the Elf was hardly phased by a passerby needing help with directions. Who knew, though? Maybe the Elf will meet the man again in Prasia at some point. For now though, he had quite the trip ahead of him through Mentia and little time until nightfall.*
