“The inn is pretty close,” Nida observed as he paused by the door to put his boots back on. Then he paused, frowning at Seifer. “Maybe we should take a moment, get you fully into your warm clothes from your pack. That room over there is mine, you can feel free to change in there if you want. I’d say use the spare room but I would want to talk to my housemate first, see if they would be okay with you possibly sharing space. Not that you have to. Just figure you might prefer people who wouldn’t pry into your past as much.”
And look, between that and stooping to tie his boots he was trying to neatly dodge Seifer’s question. Probably better to just stay in professional mode here. Easier to not be... well, vulnerable if he treated the situation like a job. Think about what the mission parameters would be, in this case ensuring Seifer’s comfort and feeding. Find him a place to sleep tonight.
