Oh no I meant to reply to this lovely thread ages ago and got halfway there and forgotttt D:
So why would Arblis approach someone?
1. "Oooh, they look like they're really interested in something, I have to go see what it is!"
2. Sometimes a single look is all it takes to get the feeling that something is wrong and it's something she can fix.
3. Ever have one of those moods where you just want to find the toughest-looking guy around and get inside his head and mess with him? If your name is Arblis, such moods aren't exactly uncommon.
4. She's feeling particularly inspired with a joke or a prank and someone looks juuust perfect to try it with!
5. She's impressed by action or fashion and can't keep her mouth shut about it.

And as for the sort of ways people can butt in and end up in a detailed conversation?
1. Arblis drops just about anything to respond to flattery. Including sentences she's right in the middle of. Anyone who flatters her MUST have good taste.
2. She's been caught eavesdropping. Arblis will happily explain all the many, many things that led to her standing in this exact spot to prove that she was definitely not eavesdropping on anyone and how nice of you to strike up a conversation with her, you truly are great for enriching this day!
3. Someone barges into a conversation she's having and adds their own well-thought-out ideas to it? Clearly this person is an expert and was supposed to be a part of this discussion all along.
4. The mere mention of ancient lost artifacts and shadowy histories is enough to make Arblis take notice and listen. Such mystifying unknowns prompt about a thousand questions, and no force in the world will stop her.
5. Look sometimes she's just really lonely and will take whatever conversation she can get, okay?
Hey, coming up with all ten of those was easier than I expected. Feel like I missed something important though.
