It was probably a good thing the shadows of her hood hid her expression; all that Tal could clearly see of her face was her eyes, and he was busy keeping an eye out for any weapons she might have at hand. At least when she crossed her arms he didn't have to worry about that so much, but her answer was a little puzzling. Still, if she wasn't a resident that meant he didn't have to pester her about his quest.
He lifted his chin, puffing out his slender chest when she questioned him in return. Not only did he have nothing to hide, but he was rightfully proud of what he did! "Yeah, well, I run a courier service. I go all over Caido, carryin' packages an' messages by skyboat. Y've prob'ly walked past my shop here in th'Grounds, if you've been here any time at all. It's at the edge of the Domiciles, nearest th'Docks. Seawright's Delivery Service."
He'd built a storefront in every civilized region, in point of fact, where people could bring parcels to be gathered for the next time he made his circuit through, ready to carry them off to friends, family, and business associates in distant regions.
But after he'd boasted about his business he deflated a little, the hint of a scowl touching his features as he shrugged. "But today I guess I'm here t'help out a, uh... friend?" He didn't sound too certain on that point, his voice rising on the word. "...with some sort o' 'speriments on th'void critters." Pale eyes narrowed as he peered keenly at the stranger in return now. "What about you?"
