With some difficulty, Marcus managed to overhear snippets of the conversation the guards were having. There was too much noise around for him to focus completely but apparently they were looking for an unknown man. Still, it not enough information to assume it was about the crew. 

Ignoring the sting in his arms- in his early training on the ship he sacrificed his strength to perfect his agility- he edged even closer to the guards. Hopefully, he would be able to get more information that way.

Anya nodded her head, looking over the goods:[color=8493ca] '' I suspected as much. Blake is looking for him as we speak.''[/color]. Although something fishy seemed to be going on, it didn't seem dire considering that Marcus didn't return with Hope. If he did, they would've already started to depart. Still, the fact that 3 people seemed suspicious of the happenings worried her. The jars seemed to consist mostly of food, but she didn't make a move to open the wrapped packages to find out what they contained. Forcing a smile onto her face, she inquired: [color=8493ca]'' I'm guessing most of these are going to the galley, right?''[/color]

The head guard split the force into three parties- one that was meant to stay in the square( in which he remained), one that went to investigate the docks and the final one that went to investigate the border. Although small, the groups consisted of the guards Val trusted best and he was sure the strange man was caught in no time. Usually, when Jane complained to him about someone ( which happened more often than one would suspect), he took his time looking into it as it didn't seem as important as training the squires but considering multiple people saw what occurred and confirmed that they didn't recognise him, it seemed direr.

Scanning the area, he couldn't help but noticed the man Jane spoke to earlier. He was still alone despite claiming to be looking for someone. Val signalled his team to surround the man without bringing attention to themselves. Carefully approaching him, he spoke with fake sweetness in his voice: [color=gold]'' I see you have returned. Do you perhaps need any help looking for your friend? You certainly look stressed. ''[/color]
