If he was a devil in disguise, he was doing a very good job, as the elf looked like he was about two seconds from either collapsing in terror or bolting.
And it's not because the stranger's a tiefling. Not entirely anyways. It's enough that the man is unknown and not another elf. Being Dalish in general is dangerous. Being alone, unarmed, is just asking to be caught, enslaved.
So he's definitely not alright. Wide, uneasy eyes skittering over the sheathed sword as he edges ever so slightly back, offering a brief nod.
He's alright. Absolutely fine, anyone his age would be out in the middle of the night without any gear to speak of, scuffed and disheveled. Not even so much as a penknife seemed to be on his person, or shoes.
