Lexaeus considers the situation. Ienzo doesn't tend to like idle chatter, but he does like information about what he's experiencing. On the balance, Lexaeus decides it's best to inquire before deciding a course of action. "I could tell you something of cities like this one, if you would prefer it."

He doesn't know this particular city, but experience makes up for a great deal; he's already assessed it, and sharing that knowledge with Ienzo may well be desired.
