The accent of the stranger certainly didn't make understanding any easier. Thankfully from what little had been said Basileus didn't get the impression that the man was one of those english speakers who felt the need to cram as many words into a single breath as possible. He'd grown to loathe those traders back home.

Had he been a less cautious man the stranger's manner would have swiftly put him at ease. Basileus liked to think he was a good judge of character and the man certainly seemed to be genuine, but he couldn't afford to lower his guard so easily. It was an easy mistake to make and it was one he'd seen made all too often. He knew better and he hadn't gotten where he was by being trusting.

"Not from around here, I presume?" Basileus canted his head slightly. "No, from far away." There was no point in lying. It was clear he wasn't a local and he was not yet to the point that he needed to lie. Lying was a necessity and as commonplace for him as breathing, but it was something he used sparingly. It was easier to weave tales than to remember them. "You," He resisted the urge to look at the man's teeth again. "Are not from here either, yes?"
