His head tilted upward, he seemed to be studying the ceiling in a very concentrated manner. Just what could be so interesting about it, she wondered. Unless...
He knows something about this place.
Heart pounding, she marched up to him - don't lose yet another clue! - and coughed slightly to get his attention.
"Excuse me... do you know this tavern well? Or the owners? I seek information on an urgent basis."
