You ask the Mage where the nearest tavern is.
"Unfortunately," he replies. "the Demon has destroyed the local Tavern. I can take you to the charred remains if you'd like."
You politely decline.
"So," continues the mage. "Shall I lead you to the demon?"
What will you reply?
"Yes, show me the way"
"Get lost punk, I'll do this myself"
"I can track down the Demon myself, follow me"
