Wondering if Kaiden's initial call meant he had found the ruins and possibly even a way in, Rook was anxious to have a look.  She hesitated though, not liking the idea of having Brock trailing them.  Even though he had managed to avoid her question, it was seeming more and more likely that both parties were here with the same goal.

"Kaiden, Brock here was just explaining that he had lost his way in these woods," she said to her friend.  Looking back to the fair-haired swordsman, she gestured southwest. "The Blackoak Rill is only a short hike in that direction.  It flows south and then east, all the way to Ashdown," she offered, both to be helpful if he was indeed lost and also in hopes that he might let something more slip about his destination or purpose.
