He's been at the last fort on the Mendevian side of the border for a day and a half when one of the local soldiers finds him. "Ser, um, Aemine?" He salutes a bit tentatively. "That, uh, Chelish patrol with the cleric is on its way in, did you want to-" His expression makes it clear he's not sure why he'd want to do anything with the Chelish troops if he wasn't ordered to.
"Oh, they did for a time. But I continued not dead, and they had more to get back to and less reason to stay..." She shrugs.
To Kenabres?... A moment's confusion, then he makes sense of it. "And Kenabres has more adventuring, so they can earn money and level and probably be more useful besides. And you're clearly more useful in the Chelish forts." A nod. "And it does seem like the soldiers care about you." Making it all right to leave her there.
"Yes, exactly- they aim to earn enough for passage back to Sothis, and it's faster in Kenabres." She nods as well, with a small fond smile. "I might be the safest one of the whole northern front, at least considering those who at all leave the forts."
Awwwwww.
"You well might be. I only hope I can keep you as safe while you're here."
