Nice to meet you. And thanks for your help. [He gestures at the merchant.] I'm not used to merchants being so pushy with sales.

[To be fair, as a Dahnan, most of them never gave him a second look. Even when they were traveling as a group, as soon as a merchant realized a Renan was with them, they immediately started talking just to Shionne or Dohalim. On one hand, it was a frustrating reminder of the cultural disparity...and on the other hand, it usually allowed him the freedom to learn about things without having the scrutiny of someone's attention.

He pauses at the question, and then shakes his head.]

I was just looking, for the moment. It's good to know what people sell, just in case you find a need for it later, right?
