Sergius gladly followed her directions as they walked around the city. It was a nice saunter, and he reveled in the fact that people kept their distance, even more so than before, upon seeing his umbrella. There was some joy in being left alone and knowing that none of the passers-by were keen on roughing you up.
The streets wound and wrapped like crazy, and he wondered how he was going to find his way home. Maybe the inn had not been a bad idea after all.
As they walked, he was content to remain in silence, but responded joyfully when Selia asked him about Ilia.
"Ah, Edessa's not so far from where I grew up. The land's quite cold and there's not much there for anyone. But the people are kind to each other, if only for the fact that most everybody knows their way around a sword and lance. Not many people you can insult there," he mused, scratching his beard. The other countries on earth were much different that way. It seemed like people were much too excited to start fights.
"After a while at home, I moved to a monastery even further north. It was truly rugged, but the land was well suited for introversion. But when it comes to matters of war, peace, and the salvation of fellow man, it doesn't help anyone to be cooped up in an abbey, not even yourself. That's why I'm here now."
