Karigan cast her eyes about and saw a strange figure- a newcomer, she thought. With a little start, she realized she had seen the likes of that woman before... but never in the service of Gondor.
Be not hasty to judge a soul simply on their appearance. Nothing marks you for as you are, and many things mark you as you are not. Karigan warned herself as she watched the other woman out of the corner of her eye.
After a long moment of internal debate, she casually got up from her seat near the fire and took one closer to the woman- in speaking distance. "You have traveled far." Karigan said by way of conversation starter. "Whence have you traveled from?"
