However that being said, about the worst that will happen if you try to join in on the conversation without asking first, will just lead to them ignoring you are even there.
I'd say send a /tell and ask if it was okay.
It's hard to judge. If it's happening in a tavern, I expect it to be open. But it doesn't mean people have to respond. If people were say, strolling around the city, or in some other secluded area, I would see it as more private.Â
While generally never done enough, communication is key. If you're worried about intruding, that's when I'd send an OOC tell to one of the people. The worst they can say is "no". At the same time, many RPers also have a [RPer, walkups ok] tag on their search info. I would count anything as open unless they OOCly state it isn't, at that point.
