Doc listened intently to all that was around him, cocking his head occasionally at the more interesting peices of information. "Mercenaries, scholars, and businessmen... and women" he said outloud, probably originally intending it to be an internal thought, he spoke it anyway as had become habit over the years. "The people here -are- interesting, I mean I had expected more tales of sword and sorcery, great deeds that bards across the land would sing of. But no matter, at very least there isnt a lawyer... that is of some solace to me." he chuckled, amused with himself.
Doc sipped from his glass, sat for a moment then slapped his forehead. "Stupid, stupid, I totally forgot... Im getting old, old and stupid." As interesting as these conversations may have been to him, the main reason he was here had actually slipped his mind completely. He sat up straight, patted down his suit and spoke in an even tone which anyone nearby could have heard.
"Sorry to interupt... could any of you fine fellows... or fellas? Is there a feminine term for the word fellows or is it just..." Doc shook his head seemingly to push this tangent out of his mind. "Anyway, yes could any of you fine people tell me what this city is called?" Doc rubbed the back of his head, "I am a little... new to the area." he smiled slightly unconvincingly, like he had recieved a gift from a distant aunt that was horrible but you had to smile and say it was lovely anyway so as not to hurt any feelings.
