Caleb straightens his back a little as the man approaches them. At first he thinks the man is moving past them until he addresses the group. He seemed to be listening carefully, but it was impossible to know for sure as an outside observer. Most people can't see through steel, after all.

Caleb nods once the man finishes, resisting the urge to bow in response as he's trying to be courteous, not dramatic. [color=fff79a][b]"Thank you, sir."[/b][/color] He said, trying his best to be polite. It takes him a moment to realize that those directions are gibberish to him, as he doesn't know this town. But, uptown shouldn't be hard to find, and 'Pauper's Square' sounds like somewhere that would be marked. Might take him a while few minutes to orient himself, but he could get there. At some point. Probably.

[color=fff79a][i]Could be a grifter. But I don't have much to lose right now, so why not? Best case scenario, I end up doing what I came here to do; kill monsters and get paid. Worst case, I get tricked and know to be wary of folks in this town.[/i][/color] He took a moment to appraise the man's apparel. [color=fff79a][i]He's well-equipped. Might be a sellsword. Don't know what to make of that.[/i][/color]

He turned back towards the rest of his new... companions? Regardless, he shrugged. [b][color=fff79a]"Couldn't hurt to have a look, at the least."[/color][/b] He thought out loud.
