Alys immediately regretted her question when the man's gaze misted over, as though he were looking far away, into another place and time. She couldn't really relate to his loss, given that her own parents were still alive (and on poor terms with her, but that was another story), but she murmured condolences all the same. "I'm sorry for your loss." It was sweet, really, for the man to honor his mother in this way. For a moment, Alys longed for the kind of relationship with her own mother that she imagined that this man must have had with his.
Alys frowned slightly, tilting her head in confusion. "What spooks?" she asked. Having never been to the area before, the young woman was unfamiliar with its flora and fauna, as well as its more metaphysical happenings. Her gaze held a combination of confusion and curiosity. She found such things intriguing, and she hoped to hear perhaps a bit more before the stranger went on his way.
