It seems the halfling knowing didn't bother Ellen so much. Maybe as a paladin she saw good in people and expected the lady to be polite and not blab her secret to the rest of the world. "Alright, let's get back to the hotel then." Dexter thought she would seem less like a ghost to the halfling if he touched her, so when he started to walk he offered his arm to Ellen like a gentleman would escort a lady.<br/><br/>He knew that she could grab hold his arm because of her armor, and that would make her seem more corporeal. Even if she didn't accept his arm he would walk back to the hotel with her. However he didn't know what they needed to talk more about.
