“Ah” says the servant. He looks at you, slowly, again “I see… please come this way”
You don´t quite understand what´s happening, but go with him anyway. The servant leads you, beyond the fountain, to your right. There he opens a decorated door that leads to another but courtyard, similar to the one you just left but smaller, again after a short and wide corridor. This one is decorated with all kinds of exotic items hanging from the walls; things like six huge scimitars, a large wooden painted mask, the skull of an unidentifiable creature... A man of the halfling race tends the small trees around the stone and gold fountain.
The servant doesn´t stop, and finally comes near a door´s gap, closed only by several layers of silk. Your guide moves them to one side and bows.
“Master Zosimo, these persons may want to speak with you”
You enter the room; it´s also richly dressed. Zosimo seems to be the man in his forties, with a beard that´s starting to turn white. He´s with an armed wild looking dwarf that offers a striking contrast.
Zosimo invites you with a gesture to seat on the cushion that cover the floor and inhale the braziers´ smoke. You smell the kifiya herb burning; slightly intoxicating, but rarely dangerous.
