Gordin goes by the rule of thumb that if they're wearing red and have a generic helmet or something, they're safe for slaying. ...But game mechanics don't really work here, so that's redundant. Still; people attacking you = bad, people needing help = good. He should write a book on this stuff.

"Yeah! And you can show me how not to get frostbite whilst defeating them, because I really need my hands and feet. Really."
As if he's thinking that they have to actually punch or pull these things apart. Good grief, he probably (definitely) would need Annie's help with enemies like that...

At any rate, involuntary shivering aside, he beams and offers his hand to her. "Miss Annie, I was wondering if you could show me where the housing mentioned in this letter is?"
No need to frown; he'll hand her opportunities to help him out on a plate. Who needs lame stuff like maps when he has a brightly coloured pocket guide (hopefully) right here?
