[Elizabeth would be in complete agreement on the matter of escort...well, maybe 80% of the time? Now and again a woman just has to get things done, and can't wait. But by and large, it's a gentleman's role to lead the charge, so to speak. Where she comes from, women are competent combatants, but it's not as if they can join the army.]

To be quite honest, I was merely trying to get a measure of the terrain. This land is new to me, and obviously you as well. I had no specific destination in mind, save to eventually return to the quarters which had been granted to me. I would quite welcome an escort, provided I am not hindering you from your own purpose.
