"Here, this way." Your voice stays dry and low as you quietly lead your company off through the alleyway, wrapping your knuckle against a carved doorway. The goblin-fer stays behind you, his pace slow. Age is starting to catch up to him, and you remain patient, even as the door opens in front of you.
You blink. You can see your contact beyond the entryway, the lithe human with blonde hair tied up messily on top of their head, waving politely from a table. But the bulking figure who stands at the door is a stranger, all tarry skin and bulking jaw, one of the tusks of the unfamiliar Orc cracked up the length as he stares down at you with cold, beaded eyes.
"...>>Street boy.<<"
"Ah, splendid, you found everything alright~" The man in the back singsongs his interruption in a heavily accented Common. You can already feel your headache starting to grow, even as your master slips by, letting him pass by the Orc that utterly dwarfs him, even as he gives a sunny smile that drags all his wrinkles up like an old piece of leather.
You keep your voice quiet as you lean down to whisper, ">Do you need me to lead?<"
