RANCE
The lightning show has Rance would have stopped him in his tracks if he hadn't already been wary. As it is, he can practically feel his currently hidden feathers fluffing in alarm. He knows his skinny ass isn't exactly threatening, and revealing he has no weapons isn't exactly the smartest move when encountering a stranger on the road, but he's not willing to take the chance that her show of power isn't just a performance.
Seeing her relax is a relief and he lowers his hands as she replies. Hearing her goal has his mouth pulling in a wince. A quick mental calculation put them at least a few hours away on foot, and that was when you could see the oft-traveled paths. Things wouldn't be that easy in the snow. Her tone digs at him, as if she was demanding his help, despite the request being worded as a question. His jaw tenses and he looks around under the pretense of remembering the landscape, as opposed to stopping himself from snapping. He's the one offering her help, after all. Taking it back just because he doesn't like her tone is a little quick, even for him.
"There's a barn about half a mile north of here. Can he make it that far?" He doesn't ask if she can make it that far. It's obvious where her concern lies.
