Alden stops in his tracks and eyes the well-dressed gentleman who has just spoken to him. He slings the heavy pack off his shoulder and drops it to the ground with a heavy thud. He takes a moment to survey the port as he takes a pipe from his pocket and lights it, taking a few puffs before answering the man. “I’m not sure what business that is of yours” he says, “however... judging from the way you’re dressed and your happy demeanor I’m guessing you’re just a busybody.”
He finishes smoking his pipe and empties it out upon the dock before placing it back into his pocket. He then slings his heavy pack and adjusts it onto his back. As he steps by the well-dressed gentleman he stops, looks him in the eyes with a steely gaze before saying, “But to answer your question.. adventure.” and then Alden walks confidently away, leaving the gentleman standing there.
