Alysia nodded, already guessing as much at his answer.  Simple deduction told her his was a simpler people, not prone to excess 'especially by the way their clothes look' she thought sourly.  She smiled through it and shrugged, "Well Rud, I'm guessing you trade with either men, elves or dwarves of the island so I believe that might be my best course... Especially since I cannot fly nor care to climb." She smiled softer this time at her own joke but tapped her armor.   Alysia watched the strange humanoid and tried to figure out a way to gauge his reactions if nothing else because it looked like she was going to be here awhile.   Meeting up with humans or dwarves did not really instill her with a great sense of ease and Rud seemed likeable enough.   'Now I wish I would have paid more attention when the priests were talking about races.' she internalized and then shook the thought away.<br/><br/>"Rud, how do you travel, do you choose to fly or walk?" Alysia was genuinely curious at his mode of transportation for he appeared frail, like a bird.  She turned her body towards the east and squinted slightly.  "How warm is it going to get?" she whispere to herself realizing she was not in all that good of a situation.  Lost, minimal food, not much water and unknown enemies and allies all waiting to be uncovered.  Alysia waited for his response before asking "will you travel east for a time?"
