Mostly because there was nothing in there, he was not much after for wealth nor there was monsters to blow up (albeit lots of ghosts but ghosts do not burn!). However Yvaine talked him over it, considering he did owe her one from helping during his investigation on his parents and even if his lead did lead to dead end, her help had been valuable none the less and he considers himself as her friend. So he came tag along and during duration of the ride he studied his spellbook (and wore his disguise (http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/d9/a5/1c/d9a51c8e39527d8001b90c55ea882a20.jpg) as he had done since he started adventure, not even Yvaine knowing his true appearance). After all wizard's craft honing comes from non-stop study and even if he at times can be reckless or unpredictable, he is devoted study of arcane.<br/><br/>As their guide dropped them off at the bridge and hearing Yvaine's declaration about the place he said to her; "Of course it's foreboding, we all have heard the stories and those stories make this place look even creepier than it's already." As Yvaine posed, as he calls it, where she displays her assets openly and shameless manner. He admits honestly he spend most their first venture just ogling her features but he had seen enough get no longer distracted by them (albeit it does not make them less appealing to look time to time) he replied to her; "Considering all the horror stories and if I was born to such region, I myself would stay indoors and make little noise as possible. Let's cross the bridge and knock see is anyone home and can they guide us to man who wrote that letter to us. Albeit I do wonder how in backwater place like this they had heard about us."
