A masked stranger

I was at the steps in Khemi. A suspicious looking masked man was loitering there....

[Misnaefus] *looks at Derellas suspiciously*
[Derellas] *Doesn't seem to react*
[Misnaefus] Did you see the fight outside the Serpent's Head yesterday?
[Derellas] *He eyes Misneafus* *Unknown Accent* I dinnae what yer talkin' about, missy.
[Misnaefus] *tries to stare under Derellas' hood* how do you know my name?
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* I don't. I call every lass a missy.
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* 'tis alot easier then rememberin' all the names.
[Misnaefus] *giggles* I can see that your friends must find you hard work.
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* Friends?I dinnae. I always work 'lone.
[Misnaefus] *looks downcast* Do you never get lonely?
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* Nah. 'Tis betta that way. No one ta piss you off or ta betray ya when the money gets good.
[Misnaefus] *combs her hair* Have you ever sought companionship?
[Derellas] *He jumps off the steps and looks at Misneafus* *Unknown Accent* That would depend on da company, Missy. *He snickers and looks up at Misneafus* Yer always talkin' ta the ones that want ta stay in da background?
[Misnaefus] *looks confused at Derellas's strange comments* Are you in the background?
[Derellas] *He waves his hand* *Unknown Accent* Da shadows, unseen, not wantin' ta bother anyone. Ye know what I mean, yes?
[Derellas] *He snickers again* *Unknown Accent* Company is hard ta find when yer stayin' in da shadows.
[Misnaefus] *frowns at Derellas' mask* I guess your work may require such subterfuge. But when you've completed your mission, would you not want some love?
[Derellas] *He crosses his arms and tilts his head a little* *Unknown Accent* Perhaps. What are ye gettin' at, missy?
[Misnaefus] *steps back slightly nervously* Nothing... It's just that you may find yourself with hoards of gold in years to come, but with no fond memories to accompany them
[Misnaefus] As you get older, you will find that memories are more valuable than wealth.
[Derellas] *He seems to chuckle a little* *Unknown Accent* That'd entirely depends on what gold is worth fer someone. *He lets his arms drop, but keeps staring at Misneafus*
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* Gold kin get a man alot of fond memories.
[Misnaefus] *blushes under his gaze* Yes, that is true. Especially in the service of Set.
[Derellas] *He seems to look a bit puzzled* *Unknown Accent* Service of Set? Bah, da only service I do is to meself.
[Misnaefus] *giggles* So when you are alone at night, you do service unto yourself?
[Derellas] *He laughs shortly* *Unknown Accent* Yer a funny girl, missy. *He takes a few steps back and leans against the steps*
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* So ye came ta talk ta me aboot me gettin' older an' missin' certain company?
[Misnaefus] I was merely passing by, and thought you looked in need of a chat. I already have plenty of company.
[Derellas] *He snickers* *Unknown Accent* Ye got guts, I'll give ye that.
[Sarii] *sarii peer amused at Derellas*
[Misnaefus] *smiles at Sarri* Good day, Missy
[Sarii] *sarii nods* hello
[Shiva] *sighs softly, looking into the street*
[Misnaefus] *looks back at Derellas* Why do you hide your face? Are you ashamed of something?
[Derellas] *He turns around and his eyes grow a bit wide as he sees sarii* *Unknown Accent* Eh, all ye missies pop up just like that!
[Sarii] *sarii bite the peach she have in her hand* Dont let me disturb
[Derellas] *Unknown Accent* Dats fer me ta know an' only fer me. Long as no one can see me, I kin do all da work I want.
[Sarii] Why do you talk like that?
[Shiva] *looks over her shoulder to notice the masked man* Where you adressing me?
[Misnaefus] *looks at Sarii* You aren't dsturbing, we were just having a friendly philosophical discussion.
[Misnaefus] *smiling at Derellas* Many jobs are discrete, mine among them, but that doesn't mean that beauty must be hidden.
