Karcine would have been at least satisfied to continue shooting glances over at the duo across the road. The details of their conversation ultimately meant little, she just needed it to end. She swayed softly as she waited, only to freeze mid bend as her peripheral vision caught the larger man waving in her direction. In the smallest increments she could manage, Beffelet turned to face the duo. All the while, she checked over her shoulder to make sure the man wasn't referring to someone who had escaped her notice. Seeing no one there, she scrounged up her resolve and looked to the calling soldier. The younger man whispered something to his companion, and the sight worried her. Over the roar of the crowd, standing across a road, it would have been easy to say anything and she wouldn't have heard. However, there was something now between them that she was explicitly not to know. [i]Was this a meeting?[/i] The friendly smile on the swordsman's face suddenly looked just as benevolent as a crocodile's. She stepped forward, crossing the road as quickly as she could towards the new conversation.

"Nothing that I wanted to intrude on your conversation with," she said, bowing her head slightly by way of greeting. "I am Karcine Beffelet, and I apologize for disturbing you." Her eyes wandered between the two of them, narrowing a hair at the younger of the two. Her scrutiny was almost unconscious. Deep curiosity for what exactly she had just wandered into manifested in her search for some sort of hint upon the being of the one person she couldn't explain. The clothes he wore were unique, and she realized that, but the connection to any occupation didn't quite make it through. The swordsman should have been just as boggling, but in her head he was already understood to a degree she was comfortable with. People with swords tended to be soldiers or mercenaries, and there was - in her experience - less to fear of a sword carried in display than one hidden away. Figuring she still owed an explanation of some sort for her snooping, Karcine continued. "It is only a matter of interest with some certain mercenaries, but please, continue, I wish to wait my turn." It wasn't speaking entirely truthfully, but she smiled her practiced smile none the less for it.
