The boy explained that there was a woman there who was from the same place as him. Chanel had come from the North, too- though she assumed it must be a different sort of North. She doubted hers was nearly so far, and it was a place of grand estates and wealthy bloodlines, rather than whatever snowy land he seemed to be scooped out of.
