Jon tilts his head to the side, conceding something that had never been contested.
"I can show you there. Rooms aplenty, if you haven't settled in yet. What sort of place do you come from, my lord?"
The man likely isn't a lord, though he does speak as though he might have come from Westeros. That means little and less in Thorne or anywhere in the world: no way to tell where someone has come from by what they sound like. In any case, it's better -- easier -- to assume someone is born higher than they are to smooth over the offense if you presumed them too lowborn.
[OOC: An Excellent Mystery! The one with Humilis and Fidelis. not my first encounter with Cadfael and will not be the last, but a nice listen. :> ]
