The questions surprised Jeanne, but she found Ren's answer acceptable. It would be odd to tell Men that she and Ren were practically strangers as it currently stood.
Filling in the gaps where Ren left off, she continued, "We were coming from different places, Men. Before you called us, we were traveling with different people and as I told you, Ta-- Ah, um... Your father was already ahead." Such an awkward statement to make. After clearing her throat, she continued, "I apologize. It took me longer because Lyserg and I stopped now and again for a picnic when the weather was clear, not to mention our pace was generally slower."
Honesty was the best policy, and she stuck by that. Hopefully he would be satisfied with their answers.
