Aeryn has a three day ride to meet with her group. She's taken some time to herself, to track down a lead, but it's time to move on and reconnect with her fellow adventurers. And, truth be told, Aeryn doesn't immediately respond at "elf woman" because no one in their right mind would call her --
But she slows, intending to stop for the night at this inn, and she realizes that Taryon is, indeed, talking to her. Aeryn's eyes scan him quickly, taking him in for what he is (a noble on a stupid adventure; she was that way, once) before letting her eyes take in her surroundings . . . which is how she sees Doty.
"What in the Nine Hells is that?" Aeryn asks warily, unhooking her staff from the side of her horse, her eyes not leaving the . . . bizarre mechanical construct that is Doty. Completely, as it were, ignoring Taryon's question.
