[The woman they encounter on the road will not immediately be beating the 'strange locals' allegations. She is mostly wearing what she’d arrived in - a blue wool outfit including leggings, a tunic over a mail shirt and a fox fur cloak - but it's been supplemented by modern conveniences like lined winter boots and machine-made hat and mittens. A spear and a bow are conspicuous on her person but she's not carrying a weapon in her hands. She has red hair pulled into a high ponytail, and wears a patch over her right eye. Her face and neck are scarred on the right side as well, remnants of an animal attack last year, and a dog that doesn't quite look like a husky walks closely at her right side, alerting her to obstacles as they travel.
She raises her hands. People out here have often pointed weapons at her at this point.]
I hear you. I mean you no harm. There is a village nearby where you can eat and warm up.
