Opting to approach the mysterious figure, you draw near and observe the details—dark curly hair and piercing blue eyes. Taking a seat across from him, he regards you with a blank expression. Inquiring about Fletcher, he affirms recognition. Introducing yourself, you learn his name is James. A prolonged silence ensues before you break it by asking, "Do you have it?" He responds with a quizzical "have what." Leaning in to whisper, both of you move forward simultaneously, revealing the Blade Guild's insignia on his tunic. The realization hits that this isn't Fletcher's friend. Crafting a polite excuse, you gracefully retreat to your original seat.
