As night quickly fell, Edgar had chosen a ward to explore today - wandering his way into Cotes had brought him into the market town where shops lined all the way down and held a lot of interesting items sold by all kinds of different people. Wares caught his eye more then the sellers did, hardly batting an eye - but they were people he’d have easily crossed paths with back at home.
What he doesn’t fully expect to see, though, is some poor soul who looks entirely dismayed standing in front of a stand that looks fine at a glance, but...
...the whole thing seems fishy at a better look, even from here. If the bits of conversation he can hear are anything, the shop owner is trying to dupe this poor guy. It’s maybe against Edgar’s best interests, but he finds himself approaching anyway.
“Hey!” He starts out casually, not sparing a glance the vendor’s way as he waves at Ashton, “Sorry to keep you waiting, let’s get out of here, yeah? We’ll be late.” He tries for a subtle glance that says ‘Just play along for a bit’.
