She has to wonder if he's delirious, given his response and otherwise uncertainty about where he was. Knives didn't trouble her, spreading sickness did. Whether he belonged in this city or not, she wanted to at least know if his life was at risk. She approached him without hesitation, standing on her tip toes to look into his eyes and over his face. No sheen of sweat, no glassy expression. She didn't feel the same intense heat radiating from his skin. It wasn't a guarantee, but it would at least allow her time to send for one of the healers to inspect him more thoroughly.
She said something back to her entourage in a Ghiscari before gesturing for him to sit nearby. A wine seller had set up tents against the heat and allowed customers to sit and enjoy what they had bought. Given the current troubles, no one else was about, allowing them a brief moment in the shade and without swarming crowds.
He hadn't seemed to recognize the language, though one could never be certain. He didn't appear to recognize her either, both a blessing and a surprise. If he wasn't certain how he came to be here, then how was he in the city? Her guards wouldn't let anyone in at this time, not with the Pale Mare circulating.
"Where are you from?" She asked, gesturing for two cups of wine to be provided for them.
