'Finally!' the towering black man exclaimes, his voice sounding obviously relieved and satisfied. Throwing a few coppers to the vendor, the stranger starts to follow the unlikely trio through the bazaar with long, ground-eating strides. Taking another crunching bite from the fruit, the exotic foreigner skillfully dodges another teenage streethawker trying to block the black-skinned mans path with his vendor's tray and junks the remains of his meal into a murky corner before finally catching up with the glum-looking group.'The Ancients have favored my search. You must be Sir Korrenmalekh, Sir Grim and, of course,  the most charming Lady Lin. Am I mistaken?'Turning at the strangly accented voice, you notice (if you haven't before) a broadshouldered and well muscled man with ebony-black skin, marred by what appears to be old, ritual scars remotely resembling the mark of claws. A wide and friendly smile offsets what might otherwise be a quite intimidating appearance.With a slight, but formal bow, his massive arms crossed before a sleeveless and finely decorated leather cuirass, the black-skinned man nods towards a ramshakle tea-booth next to you, hardly waiting for you to answer his question. Smiling again his wide smile the exotic stranger, with a glint in his golden, almost reptilian looking eyes quietly asks.'Might I offer you a chai? I'd like to talk to you for a moment if possible.'</blockquote>
