Eyes passed furtive glances around that square while Dusk turned and stepped directly beside the unusual stranger, lips still muttering in the meantime while he'd essentially force the two into walking, casual strides, enough to not give away suspicion. It began with audible small talk, a little bit of chit-chat to throw off whomever might be hearing, and every so often in between when he felt comfortable, the reality of the situation would be revealed, in bits and pieces.
"Ah, my good friend, Sensha, what a pleasure it is to see you around Dame again.." his voice lowered while they walked, "I prefer walking and talking. Less distraction. So! I assume the family's doing well...And I can't guarantee you that there will be anything at the end of this job, but it's something that needs to be done."
He continued with those shifts from the boisterous to the clandestine as he directed the companion towards the nearest market stand and purchased himself a little something, just a portion of a rye loaf, with money that seemed to have appeared out of thin air, although in reality 'twas compliments of the good governor's office. Descending to a whisper again, he continued..
"The Arch Generals, from the capital. Word is they want Harborym, and I have no intentions of letting it happen.." Further they traveled along cobbled roadways on past Dame's main streets, citizens hurrying about every which way, the two barely capable of staying shoulder-to-shoulder as they were, enough to keep their conversation closed. "...I don't know what you do, but I can tell well enough what you've done in the past. And while I could typically care less about what those bastards do with their command, there's personal value behind this one."
Dusk casually offered the man aside him a morsel of that bread while continuing the best-buddies masquerade, eyes managing to never once dart towards the new escort, keeping all manner of suspicion still as best in check as he could, although Dusk was honestly never one for ruses or tricks, but the situation called for it.
He stopped the pair in their route against the inner-side of one of those famous Dame fortifications, the wall skying above their heads. Yet again he glanced around while simultaneously listening in for anything out of the ordinary. At last he turned to Sensha and made that inquiry he had been so long leading to.
"...I realize how sudden and still rather dubious this all seems but..can we call this deal closed?"
