*Since the gentleman is well dressed, I decide that this man is in the know of the inner workings of this city, and I aim to use my cleverness to take learn some valuable information that I can use for my business.* I respond:
Hello, good sir, my name is Horus Gilbert *I give a fake name on purpose*, if you do not mind me asking, what should I call you?
*wait for his response*
I am just passing through this port city to travel to a smaller town for another arrangement. I was wondering if there are any conflicts or groups that I should be wary of around this area during my time on this continent? As a traveling merchant, I would not want my goods to be stolen!
*wait for his response*
Thank you very much! You seem like a very kind man, coming up to me in this busy market to welcome me to this beautiful city. Would you happen to know of anyone in this city looking for any foreign goods? I am very well-traveled and keep goods with me from the various kingdoms that I visit on business. \
*wait for his response*
Thank you again, sir. With that, I will be on my way. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me and give me this useful information. However, I must run because of the aforementioned engagement I have further on in this continent. When I make my way back to the docks, I will be sure to stop by to give you my farewell, and in case you find anyone else who would be interested in doing business with me.
