The firbolg didn't seem to be a skilled conversationalist, but while also having just about zero experience in towns like these, she's very lost. That's probably why she stuck around the group and stayed quiet. She hoped their guidance would be better than Dysnera's, whose voice is quieter during the day.
Despite her apparent shyness, she does decide to address this woman, to the extent that she can. "You are... concerned for him? Or for them, if more of the circle is also known to you." Though she clearly used the wrong word, she doesn't address it in the slightest. "Do you need a confirmation of their, and his, safety?"
"Yes, it would be very brave of you if you were to find my husband and the circus. He will surely pay you nicely if you succeed. There is one espcially dangerous part of the Gehill road; the Bevinge forest. It is beset by bandits, who rob travelers along the road. Usually my husband hires a band of mercenaries to protect their caravan, but with the conflicts going on in the south, there might not have been many swords for hire..."
Cecil slightly emphasises the word "circus", trying to politely correct the firbolg.
"As we are swords sells as it were, we are quite interested in this. A circus that travel to mor e.... gold heavy cities would be a good target for many kinds of trouble. I'm sure the circus, not this distressed woman would be willing to pay for a rescue if needed or some protection if they're just running late as I'm sure they are," Grimm states as he tries to interrupt conversation going the wrong way, "If I may as we are new to town as well, have a shop where one could pick up some bolts I tend to go through quickly,"

"My husband does indeed make a lot of money on his tours, your reward will be well sustaining. He might also reward you in other means than coin, Stravick is somewhat of an inventor. His creations might be useful to you. As Clebluff is a trading city, most goods can be found at the market on Peacock Square, which is situated in the middle of town, north of the Undel river. But please hurry!"
Rhenwi Enaid asks for one of the flyers. “Be a good thing to help find some others who might be interested in such a venture, what be his name, your husband?”

Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
Nimblefinger’s ears perk up when he hears about the travels of the circus among the rich cities to the south and he quickly loses himself in the possibilities of easy targets and riches. The Firbolg’s question jots him out of his daydream. “Oh, yes, of course, their safety. Very important.” Hearing the discussion between Grimm, Rhenwi and the others, he remembers this group’s actions on the ship and sees an opportunity. “Why don’t we band together to seek out this caravan and escort it back home? It does sound like a rich reward is in the offering.” He looks at the others “ I am not a strong fighter, but I do have some ...talents... that may be of assistance. My friends call me Nimblefinger, or Nimble for short”
The correction goes right past the Firbolg with a blurred expression, as she still wasn't sure what was being corrected. "Money... You use that for trade, right? I'll still have to get used to that. At the very least, I'll see use in returning to the wilderness for a little while. Moreso, I'll want to not be left alone in an unfamiliar place, so I'll follow this group still." At some point, she seemed to have traveled from asking the woman to then speaking to herself. Her social graces are not quite up to par with the expectations of most others.
Rhenwi Enaid looks at the Firbolg, "Do you have a name? Or how would I get your attention?" Turning to Nimblefingers he adds, "I suspect your nom de plume is indicative of you skills at other than a lute, as I see you do not have one?" Looking around at all those attending the conversation so far, "I am Rhenwi Enaid." His eyes briefly gleam with a tawny light and the tattoos that cover his exposed skin seem to writhe lightly. "Those interested in such a venture, name yourselves, for I care not for cyphers."

The firbolg tilts her head sideways as she seems clearly confused by Rhenwi's question. "A name? Oh! Like yours is Rhewi, his is Nimblefinger, and Dysnera's is Dysnera. There's no such title for this humble one. I'm attentive and my ears are good, though, so I'll know if you're calling for my attention. That should solve the issue, yes? I do not even know what title I'm worthy of, as I have done few errands. It is not enough yet. Though, I'll accept a temporary name if you think it is truly necessary."
"You are correct good sir, I do not have much skill with a lute, but I am always willing to learn. If you have a particular song you would like to hear, perhaps hum a few lines and I will try to pick it up" he says with a smile. "I have many other talents, and many other names. Call me what you like, just don't call me late to the party!" He giggles at the last.

"You look like a... Bethany" she says like it's a matter of fact
"Bethany... Does that mean anything? I never heard the word before. I care little for how I am called, so I do not mind borrowing that title for the time being if it satisfies the group." The firbolg says in a contented tone. It's not that the name pleased her, but the issue seemed to be solved quickly.
(I am more or less ready. I'd still like to tie a bow on the name thing before we start progressing on the story at the fast pace we were doing before (specifically, the moments that followed the giant octopus' defeat.))
"I have toyed with lutes myself, but prefer the resonance of the turtle-shell lyre." He plays some rising notes before launching into a jaunty little ditty. "Call me Scales, it reflects my music and my skin." He smiles, acting way too proud of his pun.

You manage to catch the papers for the boy. "Thank you, kind fairy. I have to go now." He walks away, with a tight grip around the posters.
