She walks over to her. 

"I've just... ended up here, without much supplies, and I don't really know what to do around here, though I have a few ideas - it might be worth trying to work that smith for a while, or try to find the roost of the dragon, for example. I was wondering... what made someone like you decide to work here, when there's a wider world out there? I can tell you are much stronger then most of the people here, and it's rather unusual for someone to just... settle down, at your age and health."

"I like living here," she says, brusquely. "But if you want adventuring work - go to Whiterun. They'll have bounties and more information."

"Fair enough. I just..."  

She hums softly, and takes a moment to scan her physiology more deeply, thinking before doing anything, getting what the physiology of 'adventurers' here looks like recorded. Is there any sort of 'internal energy' network in her body that she can sense? 

"You just...?"

There's no internal network, just - the magical glow that overlays everything here is slightly more concentrated. More of a higher density blob than anything. It's not very different from the random other inn patrons, though - everyone has a roughly similar blob.

She sighs tiredly, and brushes her hand across hers, and her body heals adjusting a little to try to make it more then just the simple vitality infusions that most 'potions' and such of this world are like, taking off some the strains of life and correcting anything that she sees that is somehow 'wrong' in her body. 
"I don't like doing things without repaying those who help me. I hope..."

"That that helps."

She startles. "Did you just - use Restoration magic on me?"

"Something of the sort - My techniques are... not exactly the same thing as what is in this world, but the principles are likely fairly similar, and I felt it was the least I could do."

She frowns. "You should ask first in the future unless there's an emergency. Most people don't like having magic cast on them."

She blinks, and stares up at the sky. 

"I understand but... It is not so simple. The sky itself is full of magic, and..."

She flares her qi, uncertain of quite what it would do in this place, her energy washing out from her into something almost like a spiritual pressure but... more distant. 

"There are any number of things that are just a function of existing that can have some effect on others."

She shakes her head. 

"I suppose that's fair enough as a practical matter, nonetheless."

"It's a matter of - intention, mostly."

She nods. 

"I'll keep that in mind."

"Oh and... do you mind pointing me in the direction of Whiterun?"

Small smile. "Not at all." She heads to the door. "I'll walk you to the road towards it."

She smiles softly back and walks quietly alongside her, idly taking in the sights.

The road out of the village is pretty nearby. "Keep following this road until you cross the bridge," she says. "The road splits just after that - there's way signs, but you want to turn right. After that, it's pretty much a straight shot down to Whiterun's outskirts - you'll pass farms as you get down out of the mountains, but the side paths are small and unpaved. You'll hit a paved crossroads after a few hours. Turn left, there, towards the big walled city on the hill, and follow the road up to the gate. Once you're there, I'd recommend the Bannered Mare, as far as inns go - especially if you're looking for adventure or bounties, though if you seem reliable the steward up in Dragonsreach might give you bounties directly."

She nods along. 
"Thank you." 
She follows the path set out for an hour or two at a brisk jog. 
Then...
Ground Contraction - Sky Jump Variant
She jumps up impossibly far, hundreds and hundreds of meters into the sky, flaring her qi as high as it goes, sending out a challenge as she looks around, eyes scanning kilometers of sky around her to see if she can find any dragons or other flying things, as well as any plausible dragon roosts. 
She doesn't nesscarily expect to see anything, but she suspects that this sort of challenge is something that would be detected in claimed territory. 

Flying things mostly seem to be birds. There's a lot of structures on the mountains, but it's hard to tell if any are dragon roosts - they look man made - and she's significantly below where she'd need to be to see the highest mountain tops, wreathed in thick clouds and mist as they are.

Nothing responds to her challenge.

She lets herself descend, making an effort to see past the dense clouds and mist, though she doubts it will be all that effective at this range, falling at terminal velocity 'til she hits the ground, then resumes her travelling down the path.

The mist's pretty opaquely thick, especially around the highest mountain range that the others spill off of.
