Swiftcurrent Creek so in the clear will appear that black swan

the male explains his purpose here in accented tongue, and while she at first is prepared to offer him all she knows (which is to say, nothing) she is made hesitant. "why are you looking for her?" her gaze is hawkish, she doesn't like much the idea of a man like the one before her searching for a woman of Aure's description. it sounds like she'd had a hard time of it already and Dawn won't indirectly add to her hurt by potentially sending this man nearer to her. 

he's certainly a little desperate to find her is he's come calling at random borders, and she hopes this will have him reveal his intentions easily enough.
