No harm no foul just getting a little wet after all, not connecting the scene with the happenings the Prophet had made him aware of pertaining to the Atlantis situation.
“Not that I’m aware of,” he answered after a moment’s pause to think. Even as a former shopkeeper on the alley. Granted there had been interesting happenings but mostly from people and creatures and mostly before his time and passed on in stories. The close call of the mutants nearly destroying the ancient grimoire in Slug and Jiggers had nearly brought Nigel to tears in the sharing. "Some of the longer term shopkeepers might have more information."
There was a pause. Why was there a pause? Was the man withholding information in tha pause or was he thinking? And then there was the choice of words. Not that he was aware of. It was nothing personal. Hugo just didn’t trust easily. Years of working as a lawyer had taught him everyone had something to hide… Still, it was a funny way to put things Mr. Citizen. ’Is there a particular shopkeeper you recommend I visit?” For some reason, Hugo got the impression that this man either spent or had spent a lot of time in the Alley.
