[Even if this is rather bizarre, he can still be polite. He takes the offered hand, hesitating only for a moment before he ducks beneath his own cloak as she extends it— it seems strange to see it on someone else, but he remembers offering dear Tressa the same sort of shelter during more than one storm in their travels. He's rather shorter than he's used to being, he notes, though the difference in their height is not terribly great— the change in build makes it feel that much more significant.]
That said, I will gladly accompany you— will likely have an easier time seeking a solution once we're no longer battling the storm.
[The trip is short, as promised; he is grateful for the fact that Dorothea seems more than willing to shield the pair of them against the wind as best she can using his larger frame.

[That would be exceptionally rude.]
