Rosalinda restrained herself from quirking a brow as the answer the Knight gave was rather technical or rigid. Sure it was accurate and likely how he felt, or how he would best describe what he felt, but it still seemed a bit detached to her. "Well, for theirs and your sake, then I hope the business for which you travel is dealt with swiftly. Perhaps to return by the crux of winter's time?" She was curious, but not so much in the political sense and more faithfully to the scenario she proposed in their conversation. When the royal party chose to return felt inconsequential to the Sandoval woman.
The breeze of the day had displaced her hair and the longer they spoke the more so she felt it irk her. Eventually, during the brief interlude of their discourse, Rosalinda swept a hand through the dark long locks and pulled it over her shoulder to rest. She thought, idly, that she could have added in a braid or two to help hold it together in the weather.
A crafted brown eyebrow did rise, however, while the words "harder to track" passed his lips. She wondered just why they would suspect being tracked. And by whom? Sandovals might have topped the list, but were hardly the only ones to figure among the names of those who wished to take advantage of a weakened Royal House. "I rest assured that Her Royal Higness' guards and advisers are most wise in this matter." She said, inclining her head though there was a slight look in her eyes beyond the dark brows to suggest friendly amusement.
"Time is surely of the essence for this party. I cannot believe that such high numbers of deaths, that such bold a crime, would go unpunished, and I can appreciate the urgency to restore peace and order. I hope only for your success." She spoke, and her words were felt truly, though obviously for her own reasons. She didn't wish ill to the royal party, and if they could do the job of restoring the peace it would serve them both. To hear his question, she raised a shoulder towards her chin for a moment, smiling somewhere between it and Salvatore as she considered her response.
"Unfortunately I'm not sure how I could assist your decorated group," she started, nodding towards the other horses to her right. "Perhaps another time I would have a chance to meet with the Princess and earn an invitation. I do quite enjoy travelling, and Vasile is not so different than my home." She gave a hint to her birth simply by that phrase. Vasile was only most similar to Nacimiento by climate and terrain, and she did bear some physical signs of Talencia, like the tone of her voice. Plus, she wished him to guess, or at least to ask if not confirm, her name.
