"Me?" Jub said, pointing to himself as he did so. He seemed surprised at the question.
"Oh, I travel all over the place, never settle down in one city for too long." Beneath his hood, his smile became a little strained.
"I tend to, erm, attract trouble, you see." He gave a nervous laugh.
"Might even have made some enemies, some people, err, can't appreciate a joke... or the occassional theft, but that's not important!" He shook his head quickly.
"Anyway, heard about this place during my travels. Thought it would be a good place to set up business." He lowered his voice and leaned slightly so he was close enough for Gabriel to hear,
"I really needed some cash, you see. Business hasn't been too good." He then cleared his throat and started speaking normally again.
"And I also feel like I was being drawn here. This place seemed really familiar, and now I know why."
