Make for the village
Two hours isnt that long. So what if it gets dark, she had dark vision. She thanked Sir Adam and his party for their hospitality and continued on down the road.
To his credit, Adam did follow her a little ways, trying to talk her into, if not staying in his camp, then trying for the house in the field. She thanked him for his kindness, but explained that she wasn't used to being a burden to anyone, and that she would be fine. She let him know that despite her looks, she was a fairly practiced sorcerer, and that given where she was from, there was nothing she would encounter on this road at night that could scare her.
With a sigh, Adam relented, wished her luck, and headed back to his camp. She watched him go for a short while, a soft smile on her lips, before turning back to her own part of the road.
She kept up a steady pace and, after about an hour and half, began to see the twinkle of lights in the distance. It was indeed full dark by now, but she was Drow, and the nightfall of the overworld was nothing compared to that of the Underdark.
Although her vision wasn't as crisp as it was during the day, she could still see the road quite clearly. Barring any delays, she thought that she should make it to town in no time.
