The market certainly was busy today, though such was hardly an uncommon occurrence. The various persons going about their daily business certainly did make thieving that much simpler. However, not everybody in the crowd had the appearance of being ordinary residents of the city. Whether it was the knowledge of a dragon living nearby, or the small but noticeable presence created by the mages of the city, or even something else entirely, Glaruindem often attracted unusual travelers. On this particular day, two such persons were within the crowd.
The first of these was a very old-looking man who was busy eying various necklaces hanging from a merchant stall. His features could not be made out, as his back was to Noah, but he was clearly wearing some sort of grey wizard's robe and had long white hair, tied into a topknot of sorts. An unusual weapon hung upside-down from his back. From the bottom up (were the weapon right-side up, that is), it had the appearance of a twisted staff. However, the staff was topped with a large hammerhead which was in turn topped with two long, twisted spikes. A large ruby was set into the center of the hammer head, seeming to be glowing dimly. What the weapon was designed for was difficult to tell, as it would certainly be awkward to use as a warhammer due to its long shaft.
The other such person was a relatively young-looking man, likely in his early thirties. He seemed to have a somewhat fierce expression, having the look of one who had been in many a battle. He had very short, black hair, seeming to be cut in the style of a military haircut, and deep, blue eyes. He was garbed in some sort blue scale armour (likely crafted from dragon hide) and had several blades hanging from his waist, implying that he was a dragon slayer. He seemed to be watching Noah, but it was possible he was simply watching everybody in the marketplace. It would be difficult to tell if he had noticed the act of thievery, but it certainly was a possibility.
