Kaljuk looked at the man, not saying anything for a brief moment.
"Neither. I'm just searching for quick work that can get me some money.", he finally answered.
The man seemed to think for a moment. "I might know a guy who could offer you a job like that.",
Kaljuk raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested. The man turned around and started walking deeper into the bazaar, it was obvious that he expected Kaljuk to follow him, so that's what the boy did. They walked for a bit until they reached a stand in a dark back-alley, the well dressed man turned around once again, with a big smile on his face. He ringed a little bell that hung from the stand, only a few heartbeats later an old woman appeared from a curtain, sealing off the back of the stand.
"Who disturbs me?!",
She demanded to know in a harsh voice, which immediately turned softer once she saw the man.
"Oh! Mr. Sullyman, please excuse me, you're always welcome here!", she rustled,
"And may I ask who this lovely gentleman is?", She looked at Kaljuk.
"Mrs. Agarj.", Sullyman smiled. "I just met this gentleman as he arrived in our lovely city. He's searching for a quick job to get him some money. If I remember correctly then you were always able to help with exactly such job requests!",
Mrs. Agarjs' smile widened. "Oh but of course! Follow me Mr. .. ?",
"Kõiv.", Kaljuk quickly replied to the unspoken question.
"Mr. Kõiv! What a beautiful name, it sounds so exotic, you're not from here are you?",
Kaljuk shook his head.
"Well, in that case I should tell you some things about our city beforehand! Why don't you follow me Mr. Kõiv? I'll explain everything to you on the way!"
