Reznikov turned to look at the man, his face showing not even the slightest interest in the gentleman's welcoming gesture. Furthermore, he felt as though he was being mocked at the mention of adventure and wealth, for all that mattered to Reznikov was serving the Emperor.
"I have little time and little patience for distractions, nor do I have time to answer your meagre queries. I have a duty to serve the will of the Holy Orenian Emperor and his Empire, and I will not let that duty be hindered by some pompous, blue-blooded plutocrat."
And with that last statement, Reznikov walks past the now disgruntled gentleman, walking deeper into the bazaar until eventually disappearing into the crowd and leaving the gentleman at the entrance.
The will of the Empire waits for nothing, and Reznikov will be damned if he lets anything stand in the way of his service to the Emperor.
