"That's the idea, yes." Julian replied to the half-elf that sat down nearby. Perhaps she wasn't an official 'greeter' (as it were), but just nosy. Or maybe she was keeping an eye on him for the Guildmaster. Both were possible, though he didn't think the latter was likely. Possibly just standard policy to keep an eye on visiting thieves - not a bad idea, all said and done, even given that he had a letter of introduction. The guilds may have worked together, largely, but there's no one to rob a thief like another thief. It had happened before, though usually only with thieves unaffiliated with any of the city-based guilds (something that did exist, despite the best efforts of all the guilds).

"Julian Syrus. You?"
