It's a setup! He began looking around for the expected guards rushing from every corner. The others seemed unsure as well, and now there was another woman suddenly amongst them. She seemed a bit, unusual. Perhaps a bit much powder, or too long spent out of the sun... but maybe something else instead. He returned his attention to the confused young man. He decides to try a bluff and speaks rapidly, "Why yes, this fine establishment will be reopening soon! It will be the finest watering hole in this ward! They're taking applications today, I'm an experienced bartender myself and these others are applying for the position of bouncers, kitchen help, and lovely waitstaff. With the lack of good employment opportunities available in the city we're trying to keep the word from spreading, cuts down on the competition you know. From the looks of you, you seem an educated sort. Books and letters and accounting eh? Perhaps the bar needs someone to balance the books. Say, why don't we all go inside and sort this out?" he puts a particular emphasis on the last phrase for the others benefit. "You should be interviewed first, being an upstanding fellow. After the owner has had a look at you and you're on your way we'll have our turns." He hopes the others will follow his train of thought. Keep up the farce of an interview, then get rid of the dandy so the real meeting can take place. He gestures towards the front entrance and stands by the door to let the women and the man enter before him.</blockquote>
