As their guide clears the way and helps to ensure that Vershab is comfortably separated from the bustling crowd the arcanist seems to relax, even smiling on occasion at the boy's speech. At the mention of an inn he slips forward and shyly asks, "Is this inn close to the library? And does it have private rooms where one can study and work without threat of distractions?"

After the boy responds Vershab nods his thanks and slips back into the middle of the party, shading his face behind the disguised Mask and looking around him with a mixture of excitement and fear. With his allies surrounding him he seems to steadily feel better after the initial shock of the crowd and merchants. "This 'liqueur' the boy mentioned - do you think it is strong? I might try it if it isn't too biting..." he says to the others, quietly.
