Neverwinter Forest living like we're renegades

Sidonie was disappointed that he would not rise to her bait.  She still hoped to engage him in a spar, to test his worth and to prove her own, if good fortune was on her side.  To get there, however, it seemed she'd have to parry him question for question first, deliver a fact to glean a fact from him in turn.  That was if he intended to disclose any truthful or valuable information, which remained to be seen.

The mist drifted slowly away and she was able to survey his form.in its entirety. He did not seem to mind her inquisitive gaze overmuch, and so she took in the breadth of his shoulders and the sharpness of his eagle-gold eyes and the stance that demanded of her an answer, if their conversation were to advance. She dcided to give him the truth, carefully portioned out in small morsels. Easy to digest, easy to retcon if the need arose  "I saw the sea once, near here, and I left it.  Now I wish to be near it again."
