"Oh, just doing a bit of shopping. I have a hobby that I think is going to be pretty popular in the future. Alchemy."He says the last bit with fascinated interest and shows you a mysterious bottle of blue liquid.
@dm perhaps tell us something about either the guy who ran or the people in the cloaks? We don't know anything about any of these people, so nobody had any interest in siding with anyone in particular. They didn't talk to us, or say anything. We're on the sidelines of someone else's story
"Quilaren of House Phiarlan. I enjoy meeting new people, Mahogany. My business here is largely finished, and I am only browsing for curiosity's sake now. Perhaps I could accompany you on the rest of your own errands." Quilaren takes your hand, bows and kisses it, remaining bowed for a beat longer before rising with a smile. The effect is not casual, nor unnatural.
Pausing for a very long while staring at Quilaren, Mahogany retracts his hand.
"Um, well nice to meet you, Quilaren. I come from Stormreach, Xen-drik. Just looking for a bit more money, and I figured this city would have more payment opportunities than Stormreach. Actually, I only arrived a few days ago, so I'm new here."
Mahogany looks up above the crates, and continues, "This place is very fascinating."
Quilaren gestures to Inferno. "It is, but people don't come here because it's dangerous. They come here because it's exciting! And danger can be exciting, too."
He turns back to Mahogany with his most affable smile. "Perhaps you need a guide, someone who knows what's what here - at least until you get your bearings."

"Alchemy is an interesting hobby."
Mahogany reaches his arm out for a handshake.
"I'm Mahogany, and you are?"

Holding back a laugh, Inferno says, "Fascinating is one way to put it. Dangerous is another."
Quilaren gestures to Inferno. "It is, but people don't come here because it's dangerous. They come here because it's exciting! And danger can be exciting, too."

"That would be just excellent. I'd wait for the rain to settle down, though."
Mahogany hugs his knees under his coat, staring now at the floor. He appears to be content.
