He was observing the group as it came, his friendly approach toward Samuel was a rarity these days, most people he could only regard with a measure of suspicion. Lebanon's arrival, such as it was, made him wonder if the man had snuck in earlier through a window or such somewhere, or if Asleod had let the fellow in to let him show off a bit. Either way, that surprise had been genuine to him too. He just thought it lucky he hadn't had his hand in the pocket with the bombs when it occured.<br/><br/>"Guess some folks are a bit careful, nothing wrong with that I suppose but its a bit dull shouting for 'hey you there'." He remarked the exchange between Samuel and the stranger in the dark with a measure of amusement. He could not see Lebanon's face while the man was still in the shadows but his voice didn't sound immediately familiar. Then again, he had bought some things from people who didn't want to be recognised later anyway, so he was sort of used to it.<br/><br/>Then Belinda arrived. His eyes followed the woman a bit curiously, wondering about her appearance at the time. He was suspicious afterall, and something about her looks bothered him, because he had this distinctive feeling he had seen her before. Samuel seemed to get along well with her, and even as far as to call her a lady. He smiled, chuckling a little. Well, that answered a bit though, to not get hurt on these streets, a woman just might to try and look her worst for a little while. Sipping onto his drink he watched the door open once more.<br/><br/>Hooded figure caught his interest and he blinked, watching her movement. He wasn't sure what it was, but something about the figure caught his interest, at least for a short while. That moment was broken by the louder entrance of the next man. Staring over at Fenris a little while the Alchemist blinked. "Now there's a fellow I wouldn't want visiting me if I was ever late on my bills." He said this jokingly, but at the same time a bit serious. Fenris looked like a man he didn't want to end up an enemy to.<br/><br/>As Talanna arrived, he was caught up looking, her very appearance drew eyes to her, and seeing an elf was a very rare pleasure. Albeit he tried to keep his gaze up to the elven woman's face after the first look of admiration along her figure. "I don't know how she made her way through the town looking like that though, I imagine she'd be driving men mad with lust and confusion. So I seriously doubt she came on foot." He had been too much in thought to really notice any sound of the wagons earlier, shrugging faintly.<br/><br/>"It does look like a large amount of us is present by now though." He knew he was stating the obvious, but he smiled nonetheless, looking at everyone in turn with a smile along his face. It would be a time for introductions, he thought, before hearing Lebanon's voice rise up.<br/><br/><em>"Ha ha ha!  Oh, what a clever joke, Prince of Thieves," he said, gasping for air.  "I thought this was going to be a job.  Not a business proposition to open a whorehouse.  I don't really see how you could possibly make use of my services for that.  Unless these women have magically-sealed chastity belts, but looking at them, I highly doubt it."</em><br/><br/>Alexander grit his teeth together and clenched his hands to fists for a moment. Alright, calm down, he told himself silently. The fellow just liked to make a scene no doubt. He tried to reason around his anger briefly, calming down a little. Outwardly, his expression had gotten tense and his hands clenched for a moment, but inside he was annoyed. Annoyed enough that he had to stand up for a moment.<br/><br/>"As beautiful as the company of this evening is, I highly doubt every lady that enters is even interested in such pursuits in life. Now, as for us fine gentlemen, I think that we'd sell poorly as well so I don't think we are together for plans of that variety." He looked at Asleod briefly again, then sighing.<br/><br/>"Anyhow, its a pleasure to meet with all you fine people, and lets drink to your health." He smiled, taking a sip of his ale briefly, then sitting down again, trying to cool his head a bit.
