"Oh, really? Teya leads Brecheliant alongside Eljay."
For a second time, Coriander offered to accompany her, and so this time Ruenna listened a little harder. If the previous offer had just been out of politeness, it was unlikely he would have offered again once he was turned down. Coriander seemed determined to accompany her, for no stated reason other than concern for her, a woman he'd just met.
Had she been younger, Ruenna would have been nervous about receiving help from a stranger, particularly when there were no readily apparent motivations. She'd relaxed her guard over time though, having found that few people out there really meant harm to an old lady with a limp.
She was an insightful woman, and she guessed that Coriander himself might also be searching for his place in the world. He obviously could join Brecheliant anytime he wanted, but he preferred to stay unattached. He was holding out for something better-- just as he had advised Ruenna to do-- and he was looking for company in this endeavor.
"Alright, Coriander. If you're up for joining me, I would love the company. I have a loose end to wrap up in the Redsand Canyon, so that will be our destination." She tilted her head when she finished speaking.

Ruenna experiences chronic lower back pain as a result of an accident from over a year ago. She moves with a very obvious, heavy limp.
