"Not today," Altair said. "I was down in this part of the city for a business meeting with a ... prospective silk merchant. It didn't end up being something I could invest in, but I do enjoy the bustle of the Bazaar District, particularly this time of year." He shrugged. "I don't do a lot of my own shopping, so it's more of a ... people-watching experience for me."
It was a pretty short walk to the coffee shop. As they reached the door, Altair opened it and held it for Chloe.
"Did you have any other business here in the markets, besides picking up that item for your friend?" he asked, still making small talk as they went inside.
