"Well perhaps some of that stew, if it's ready. I can wait if you need to talk to those two though. I'm in no rush. Just looking for a meal and a bit of company." He nearly chose to leave out that last part, but it was true. Quick decisions. Quick decisions were always best.
He let his mind wander for a moment, then looked up with a start. He had left his satchel upstairs! Should he go back and get it? He felt uncomfortable not having it with him. And from what he had heard, there were plenty of shady types in this city. What if someone stole it? Would anyone want to steal it? He doubted soulstamps were terribly uncommon in this place, but still...
He started to rise from his chair, and then stopped midway, doubtful. Quick decisions. Just make a choice. He sat back down. It... it'll be fine. I trust the owner of this boarding house. It's just in my room; I doubt anything will happen to it. Leaving now, after just asking for stew would be rude anyway. "Sorry, I just... thought I forgot something. Like I said. Some stew would be appreciated, but I can wait."
