"I... killed someone. The Knights are after me, because I'm one of the occultists..." She says after a few sobs.

"I killed poor Joachim after he thought of rattling me to the knights! I have nowhere to go, so I will run-" You cover her mouth so she stops calling attention to herself. You can somewhat understand her thought process, but if she wants to stay safe, why is she taking a cursed woman with her?

Easier and safer.
