Palina saw Simon bringing Linda's body home, and Palina was a child at the time. (One of the first things she says on meeting Simon is that she's surprised he recognizes her as an adult.)

There's no reason for an Aramite child to be close enough to the battle lines to see casualties flowing back anywhere but Aram.

Teleportation out of Proto-Zirantia is theoretically possible, but I'm fairly sure Palina said she saw him carrying the body home while he himself was injured. If they had the teleport mages to burn on extracting Simon and Linda, why transport them all the way to Aram, instead of back to base in Zirantia or Ardoheim? Why burn valuable teleportation mana on a dead body at all? Why teleport them into the presence of a child related to one of the dead persons? If he was injured and got himself and Linda's body out by teleportation and Palina was not present at the teleport destination point, why would he be allowed to then risk further serious injury (and psychological distress to the family), by then carrying the body personally to wherever Palina was at the time?

I think this makes much more sense if the whole thing happened during a skirmish in Aram close to where Palina and the rest of Linda's family were living, which Simon then returned from on foot.
