(I find these two posts conflicting and illogical.  It would appear to me that once he discovered this woman was interested in his friend Rowan, he would do anything to find out what she knew, up to and including kidnapping her and forcing the information out of her.  If I know you, you've worked out a complete backstory for Clarent, even if he only has a cameo part.  So why is he not interested in what she has to say?  Then why would he ask such a stupid question, giving himself away?  Would you like to explain it or re-write it?  I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out what to do and say next and it is not helping that the above makes no sense to me.) (He's first and foremost trying to find if she is a friend or an enemy, because he doesn't recognize her, but if she says she knows Rowan and has followed him to Solitude, then she's either a close friend or an Imperial agent. He doesn't recognize her, and because of that, he's forced to assume that she's an agent. However, she's dressed in something that would be in no way helpful if things turned sour and doesn't seem to be bearing any weapons, and honestly, she doesn't strike him as a mage. So he's quite confused. He's trying to tell if she's a friend or foe without acting out, because he saw Conall and although he doesn't know for certain, he's got the suspicion that things will turn bad if he acts out. So for now, he's playing along.

Also, it may be of some note that this mercenary fellow isn't Clarent. If he were Clarent, he would have excused himself as quickly as possible, packed up, and escaped the city as swift as he could.)
